    Picked up my two 4-packs at Total Wine in McLean, VA today. $10.99/per. Awesome price for an awesome beer, assuming dude above me experienced a one off bad bottle. Looking forward to cracking one of these this evening.

    It was right around that. I was living in a town where a good friend was a bar tender. Pints for 2$ could not be beat and i think i drank most of a keg haha. This year 4 packs was my only way to go.

    Yeah, I'd happily pay $12.99 for this beer as well.

    Total Wine is a real game changer for me. I like to talk the talk when it comes to supporting small businesses, and it was easy to walk the walk when I lived in Portland, but back east, where everything is just so damned expensive, a place like Total Wine is a godsend.

    The "local business" 10 minutes away from the Total Wine I shop at charged me $18.99 for a 6-pack of Nugget Nectar. I'd imagine his price for Chillwave is similar, but I'll never know because I refuse to go back there.

    Yea unfortunatly I also cannot support the small liquor store near me when 6 packs of Zombie Dust are $30. Binnys, and other lager stores it is.

    Would love to try this Great Lakes DIPA. Can't make it to Cleveland anytime soon. Any distribution points close to Wheeling, WV?

    Sells locally here in Cleveland for $9.99/4pk. Just had a bottle tonight and personally, I think it's better than ever. Those Mosaic hops are effing delicious. Dangerously drinkable at 9.4%, zero burn.

    Had my first of the year and it's better than it's ever been. I may even take this over juju.

    So a bit better than "average"? :wink:

    In all seriousness, it does taste a bit better than last year. And I have an Ohio friend holding on to some JuJu for me...cannot wait!

    I'm assuming you aren't IN Wheeling, because I would assume you'd just cross the river. You should be able to find this at any Ohio Kroger, Giant Eagle, etc.

    Just had it, forgot how citrusy it was. Went down super-smooth for a DIPA. Enjoyed it, but I'm more of a west coast hop head at the moment and I'm hoping that my friend will be bringing me some more Double Jack next week...

    Our tastes are different, I put Chillwave in the "better than average" category. It's too sweet for me. Love the tropical fruit, but the sweetness kills me.
