    It's probably still around in less frequented stores. Most popular places have probably soldout though. Especially if they didn't gouge.

    As of Saturday, Steve's Party Store in Hamtramck (corner of Caniff and Lumpkin, right off of I-75) had single bottles on the shelf. $3.99 per.

    There are about 5 sixers of it sitting on the shelf here in Spooner, at the moment. At $15.99 too, which isn't a bad price considering it was going for $4 a bottle elsewhere.

    I saw a few 6ers at the Mug and Jug on Beech between 5 and 6 mile two days ago. Singles too, but those were way overpriced at $5.99/ea

    still cases for sale at the general store, bit of a drive but wouldn't be the craziest thing I've seen someone do for a beer on here!

    Hey man, don't know if anyone ever responded, but the Bells's 30th is real good, in my opinion. I picked a few up to drink and a few to age. You ever grab some?

    Regarding some of Bell's more popular stouts, I'd rate them like this: Black Note > Expedition > 30th Anniversary. While I realize that ranking this one 3rd out of the 3 may come across as insulting, I want to be clear that I love all 3. Black Note is probably one of my all time favorites. Expedition was one of the beers that got me drinking good beer (in 2004), and I'll always love it a little more because of that.

    When I see Ten Fidy for like $16 a 4 pack and 30th Anniversary for $16-18 a 6pack, it's a VERY easy choice... 30th Anniversary (same goes for just about any other stouts in this price range for me). While most stores in West Michigan have been out for a month or so, there are (like others have mentioned) smaller stores that still have some. I'm guessing you'll be able to track some down by checking the spots already suggested in your neck of the woods. Good luck!

    No not yet but now after the two response I received I might just have to. Will be out and about on Black Friday. Will add this to the list.

    Not sure how I missed this one. Bell's never had anything about it on their Twitter feed. I finally heard about this on Sunday night and managed to pick-up (today) what appears to be the last 6 pack in the Chicago area. I'm curious about aging this one as it says on the carrier that it is best kept refrigerated as it's unpasteurized. Any experts that can chime in on this one?

    I have not seen it once at any store around here. Oh well. There's enough CW BBS to keep me happy. :slight_smile:
