    It's basically available at any time in Charlotte. Used to disappear quickly, now it sits everywhere. As do some variants.

    Maybe I have missed it, but have not seen it in my area of Iowa.

    Try and get to Omaha -- I saw regular BOMB! just over the border in IA for $10.99, but in Omaha 10min away it's $6.99.

    So who's on board with this being more enjoyable than regular Bomb?

    I.

    Wonderful beer. Worth the price? Once, and then it fits into a group of beers that I can say, I'm glad I tried it, but too much money to buy again.

    Too sweet!
    Maybe with age but, fresh, it's way too sweet and cloying.

    If distribution works the same way in New York that it does in Florida, then you might be blaming the wrong party. Shelton Brothers doesn't always distribute direct to retailers. They distribute to a distributor in your state, who then distributes to retailers. So it is often up to the distributor in your state who determines when certain things show up at bottle shop. Though I can't say this is the case for any particular distribution of any particular beer. What objective evidence do you have that they "screw over certain markets" anyway?

    Should be hitting S. Florida by the end of this week or next week.
    I've asked people who order for Total Wine, Luekens, and some local bottle shops and they all said end of this week or next week.
    But we'll see.

    It was good, but I can't put it above regular bomb.

    Arrived in Southwest Missouri today. $9.99/bottle, no stated limit. Were putting it on the shelf when I walked in so no idea how much they had. Looking forward to trying it.

    Pompous for sure, opinionated yes, extremely vocal check, douchey, meh.

    These are two different beers, anyone who can't figure that out literally doesn't have the taste buds to pick it out. Sorry not sorry. Noting how many we had already sold was a fun fact, because again; people complaining about the price. (Spoiler: It's worth it)

    As for the rest, this is a beer site yes? I do get to describe flavors of beers still here right? I know I was stretching big with this one in thinking that there was a possibility people would come to this thread about this beer, considering the confusion about it. I described a beer, get of my jock dude.

    Judging by your avatar, it seems like a natural mistake!

    $11.99 at my WF, didn't get a bottle but I'm tempted because the artwork is pretty dope.

    Definitely my favorite of the bombs*. I had a bottle that was great, but then a glass on tap that was just magical.

    *Missed out on pirate bomb though, which I'm so mad at myself about.

    I agree that if you can't tell the difference between b day bomb and regular bomb then something is wrong. On my first sip I could instantly tell the difference. And a big difference it is. Starts with caramel and ends with caramel. Like others have said this is a totally different beer. Very sweet but I prefer it over regular.
