    Is this still around in Tulsa or OKC anywhere? At Prairie for growler fills or anything?

    Pretty much gone in OKC, and Prairie can't do growler fills of anything but 4% beers at their brewery.

    Fieldings in the Woodlands had you covered if you haven't gotten any yet. Only $29 a bottle. #gayfish

    My bottle had an awesome nose, but the flavor was weak. My $0.02.

    This kind of sums it up, but I would have uppercased the 'awesome'. imho the nose is the main reason why you should have one of these.

    Looks like DFW is getting a little more this week.

    I've managed to get three. Going to crack open one tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to this. Hope it's as good as I've imagined it to be!

    Any place around Houston that might have Apple Brandy left? Visiting from Montana, and I would love a bottle.

    I wish mine was better than expected. Not to say it's bad beer, and I wish Prairie all the best. I hope they become a power house of a brewery, I really do. I just can't do it anymore. Prairie's BA beers are good...but not great. Definitely not $13 a 12oz bottle. I have plenty of other options these days. I imagine I'll have many more in the near future. I hope to see the prices come down on Prairie.

    This one was a big letdown for me. Like you said, certainly not a bad beer, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I was barely able to detect any apple at all. That, of course, was the big flavor I was wanting to experience.

    This wasn't fermented or aged on apples. It used Apple Brandy barrels.

    I'm in Houston this weekend and figured I'd ask the beer lady if they had any left at Spec's on Smith. Sure enough, she handed one over to me. May be worth a shot.
