    I saw the GI Brewpub post something about Halia on Twitter yesterday but does anyone know more about when we can expect it to hit distribution or how long it stays around? I'd like to grab a bottle but am trying to avoid stalking Binny's if at all possible. Thanks!

    I've seen the last batch at several stores in the northern burns if that helps.

    Oh seriously?! Mind letting me know where? I'm in the northern burbs (Buffalo Grove). Thanks!

    The last batch is still sitting around at many liquor stores. My guess would be about 50% of them that received distro.

    Some of the 2013 bottles are still hanging around Kenosha and Racine too, as well as Lolita from that year. They're getting dusty.

    I'm not sure of the accuracy of this statement but I heard somebody say that it may be on premise only this year. Can anybody confirm this?

    In Geneva, WI they are sitting from last year.

    Sad. Ok I guess I don't have to worry about them flying off the shelves then. Still looking forward to trying one from the new batch. Not so much one sitting in beer hell on a shelf at 70+ degrees in full light for a year+! Thanks for all the responses!

    Well I've been looking for an excuse to ditch the kids and hit downtown breweries. I guess this is as good as any...
