    Western NY stores started distributing this as of yesterday but I haven't heard of anyone else in the state that has seen it. The brewery also still shows NY as a dead zone but it is definitely for sale at some beer stores and local grocery stores like Wegmans. Anyone else seen this around? Got myself a case yesterday for 43 bucks.

    I found it today for the first time at the jersey shore. They must have expanded their distribution recently.

    5.9% i'd think...the 10% and 19%(I think?) were both brewery only releases (and I think the 19% was draft/limited growler only)

    I'm drinking one of these I got as a trade extra and it is awesome - would be super stoked if I could buy this regularly around here!

    Great news. I picked up a sixer when I was in Albany last weekend. It's ridiculously good.

    Picked up a 6 for 11.99 at Thrifty Beverage in Bohemia Yesterday. They had plenty of it.

    Do we really need a beer that tastes like root beer- no matter how good it is?

    Been waiting to try this--sounds like its definitely worth trying but never traded for it because they said national distro would be coming. I thought I saw somewhere in Queens on beermenus last night but checked this morning and it was no longer there. Maybe they got snatched up already.
