    Just picked up a bottle at Norm's. It's supposed to arrive at Arrowine sometime today also.

    Anyone hear anything about Boulevard's Tart Cherry stout coming out around here?

    How about Uinta Jack B. Nimble? Seems like it's an ultra limited release with this one. Not sure why. It's not BA or anything.

    We haven't received any of Boulevard's Imperial Stout X series, so I'd be surprised to see Tart Cherry. For whatever reason, we stopped receiving most of their limited releases around the start of the year.

    Safe to assume these will be on shelves all year like 26 still is?

    Great beer, I'm amazed that it sits for so long. I guess it's a combination of the bottle price and sheer amount that gets sent here.

    I would think so.. Although some of the other varieties didnt seem to stick around as long last year.

    It's most likely a distributor issue. The brewer for Boulevard said in a thread not too long ago that they brew to order based on the amount requested by the distributors. They aren't purposefully diverting beer away from our area.

    I was down in Wilmington, NC a couple months ago and they boatloads of the Imperial Stout X: Coffee. There was cases of it sitting in the middle of a grocery store down there.

    Not quite. According to Norm's, Deschutes shipped some 26 with the 27. I think I saw it at another store (maybe Sherry's or Connecticut Ave) a few weeks ago too.

    I don't deal directly with distributors so I can't comment on any perceived issues, but I can confirm that we brew to order based on amounts requested by distributors.

    Saw it on tap at Red Apron in Union Market yesterday. Means we should be seeing this at various NRG establishments.

    Will it even make it to MD since we're new to their distribution area?

    no idea. I spoke with a retailer on Friday who "assumed" his store would get it, he just didn't know when
