    Agreed. Also, it doesn't seem as rich tasting or as dark in color as the 2011 monk. This is closer to the 2007 in mouth-feel. Still a great drink.

    In my most humble of opinions, the '15 Blushing Monk is the best version of the beer I've ever tasted. I've also never had '07 or '11.

    They did. But I believe they only offered it to K Klub members and you had to call to reserve the bottle.

    As others in Oakland County have mentioned, seeing it in 2-3 bottle limits with a sticker of $16-17.

    Hit Lansing yesterday / today. Haven't gotten mine yet, but from what i can see, no limits.

    now do i drive to my favored shop which is slightly cheaper but farther / out of my way, or the other shop I hit sometimes which is a lot closer and sort of on the way home but just a little pricier.

    This is entirely correct, although you could show up to buy a bottle as well. Total of 3 cases. Perhaps this is their way of trying to get it in as many hands as possible.
    I suspect that Michigan stores had more product sent their way.

    Picked up a bottle today. Planning on doing a "non-biased..." side-by-side with Raspberry Tart tonight. Stay tuned...

    $18.99 at Whigville in Grand Blanc, one bottle limit but said he would sell me another one tomorrow. Whatever I'll go somewhere else without a one bottle limit.
