    For some reason I've heard about the Hype behind these beers (Especially Victory at Sea) any thoughts, takes, perspectives, as we were able to snag a few cases here.

    Just picked up the Grapefruit Sculpin, and Dorado. Cracked open the Dorado a few min ago...it's good. It's sitting at a 92% on here...but won't be getting quite that high from me.

    Any of the Roch BAs know if we are getting either. People I talked with didn't know.

    It's in the MN market this week, we just got a couple cases each so it shouldn't be to hard to find, check with your local craft specialty store, we got 2 cases of victory and Dorado in and 3 cases of the grapefruit Sculpin.

    If you like coffee and vanilla in your beer than Victory at Sea is right up your alley. It's always been one of my favorites. It really balances the two flavors together. Really easy to drink despite the 10% ABV. Now that it's in 6 packs, it will be a mainstay in my fridge all winter. It's never been hard to find in the past so we'll see how long it lasts this year and if we see any more. I stocked up, just in case.

    Well I've had a few people come in for B.P. but only for the Grapefruit Sculpin so far, we'll see how it pans its all about other people finding out about it.

    I've been getting Grapefruit Sculpin here and there from my cousin in Cali, it's great. And Sculpin in 6 pack cans at Ale Jail too.

    The grapefruit sculpin is outstanding!! I wonder if we'll see any habanero sculpin here...Victory at Sea was a great porter last time it was out here..I'm sure this year's will be the same. I never would've thought grapefruit and hops would be a good combination, but it definitely works..seems most stores only got a couple cases so it may disappear fast..

    Just talked to Apollo in Rochester and they said they might be getting these in the next week or so but they don't know for sure. The guy I talked to said only about 50 cases of Victory at Sea made it to the state. So there is hope for those of us down here! To be safe, I have a buddy in the cities that I have asked to pick some up for me. Really want to try it!

    It will be in Roch. Limited, so maybe not going to be on the shelf.

    So true! It's great to get this within two weeks from San Diego #Wirtzhype. I've had a bottle of Fulton Insurrection and a bottle of this the last two nights and been blown away by both. With these going on in stores this week plus a bunch more Molotov Lite and the Abrasive can release coming next week the next few weeks are going to be really fun!

    Andy's CR has singles of VaS and Grapefruit, nothing noting a limit. $2.99 ea. It looks like only a case of each, no Dorado though.

    Grapefruit is going to be year round across their footprint, FYI.
