    Did they make less of this year's version?

    My area doesn't get Deschutes distro, but if I drive up to northern VA I can get it. The shop I usually go to when I'm in that part of the state just got another shipment of XXVI, but when I asked about XXVII they said they only got one case, and I had obviously missed it.

    I've bought several bottles XXVI throughout the past year and could have bought a ton more. Why such a shortage of XXVII?

    Is there more coming?

    Seeing the same thing in Michigan. Several stores still have XXVI on the shelves. About a month ago XXVII showed up, was gone in about 2 days, and I haven't seen it since.

    I just saw a good bit of it again in NoVa at Dominion. They had been out for a couple weeks.

    wasn't there earlier thread(s) indicating there was an issue + there was uncertainty whether any would be bottled at all? i don't remember the whole story off the top of my head but i don't think XXVII was released at the usual time/week it had been - due to whatever the issue is/was. if those previous accounts were accurate, it seems logical the yields would be lower this time around. no?

    Edit.... Love Deschutes but price point is a bitter pill to swallow.

    I got the last XXVII at my store. I have no clue when they showed up. Price was around 15.50

    wine shop here has it overpriced at $19, they got 5 cases and only one and a half are left so it's selling but we have terrible distribution and variety here in Billings, will see if they get more and ask about volume compared to last year, bought a bottle of XXVI a couple months ago in Bozeman so that one did sit around at least part of MT for over a year

    Maybe he means Jubelale and not Jubel (2010, 2015, etc).

    prices seem to vary widely. fwiw, i saw a floor stack of at least 8 cases of XXVI @ theTW in Reno (mid June) - $12.99 ea. ~ same price as most Deschute's limited releases i've seen at Costcos around here:

    This is what I was trying to find out. Thanks! No doubt that this could be the cause of a shortage.

    Funny thing is that I've never been to Dominion and I always go to Norm's in Vienna, that I just learned is 5 miles from Dominion. I'll have to check out both next time.

    Ha! And I knew not of Norm's. If it's just 5 miles from Dominion, it seems like I'll need to put it on the beer route.
