    Looks like it's in the tasting room cooler as of this morning.

    Dumb question from non-Floridian, does WH Jai Alai hit stores like Total Wine in any significant quantities?

    It hasn't in quite a while. Hoping they improved the amount they were able to get out this time. So tired of two can limits. Will probably head to the tasting room tomorrow to grab a few packs and a few bottles of the TBBW DIPA.

    Darn. Hope to eventually try some when I swing down in May.

    Good news is that they look to be putting out White Oak every other month this year. This will be the first of the 2015 production. May looks like an off month but as it gets closer, I'm sure you'll be able to land a few 4pks in an IP trade from the April batch.

    Maybe you can have someone grab you a 4 pack or 2, and hold it until you get down in May for either IP trade or pay $$$. White oak jai alai is one of the few beers that i think hits the sweet spot at about 2-3 months. It is weird saying that with an IPA, but many agree with that sentiment.

    I may. I am thinking about just trading for some now. I may be in the minority here, but I think Jai Alai holds up pretty well over time. I'm not a huge stickler for super freshness anyways.

    I had one last night, and I swear it's not nearly as "oaky" as it used to be. The aroma is also much less prevelant. Hoping I just got a bad batch of cans, but I was really disappointed. My wife, who also likes white oak, said that it was a lot hoppier then she remembered, and she's not a fan of hoppy beers.

    Haven't had mine yet, but maybe it has something to do with it coming from BrewHub?

    I'm drinking one now...a lot of oakiness/vanilla, its delicious. It did warm up a bit on the 40 minute drive home, so maybe that's why its more pronounced.

    Curious of everyone's thoughts...I really do think it's been downgraded. This has always been my favorite IPA , and it saddens me to say this.

    Got a 4 pack when they were putting it out around August/September. If the Kendall TW still has some on Friday I might snag one.

    Sure doesn't taste downgraded to me. Taste like the same delicious white oak it's always been.

    Anyone willing to grab me a 4-pack and hold it for me? I'll be in town for Huna day and can trade any VA beer.
