    It's a staggered release, with output doubled from last year. I would be surprised if people don't get at least one bottle.

    Got 6 bottles myself today. Initially, I only wanted 2 bottles, but I got greedy. A little inside knowledge for you Austin peeps, Wheatsville is getting a hefty amount tomorrow, probably break to the floors around 2 or so.

    Fuckin' THANK YOU - folks were MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD lol

    My poor PM box :slight_frown:

    I had some of the 2011 batch a month ago...it was magical lol, A little weak (from age I think) but it was easily some of the best beer I've ever tasted.

    Is it sad that I didn't even realize Wheatsville had beer? :slight_smile: Thanks for the tip.

    .

    I think of these bottles as something I want to enjoy. I guess, people only think of trades now.

    This is the best pumpkin beer I've had this year. Tops DFH, Fat Jack, Schfly, Good Gourd, and Pumking by miles. The warming of the ABV and the stouts silky coating give it a pumpkin cheesecakiness (HA, my beer taste descriptions are awesomely lame).

    I'm stocked up for a few days. Kings in Fort Worth is out, Whole Foods Arlington is still stocked from the GF's report.

    Anyway I didn't have last years so I can't compare but DAMN this is tasty

    EDIT: not only thinking about trades, I'll drink plenty...that said. I would never have tried many of the beers listed above if not for generous trades

    Didn't get any today, I'll spare you ladies/gents the sob story, but tomorrow is another day. Whole Foods Kirby and Sugar Land are getting theirs tomorrow and I have some business in down town. Wish me luck.

    EDIT: First world problems I know. Wow, reading my own words is kind of depressing.

    Both Randalls in Kingwood had it after work. One had a limit of 2 and the other a limit of 4. They probably have more left.

    Hello Dallas peeps. Just wanted to tell you that I have had the taste of pumpkinator. I'm like a pumpkin zombie now. Beware - I work from home and have stumbled across a fairly deep well of extra disposable income. I'm prepared to **** the shelves on Wednesday. Bwahahahahahah...

    Just busting your chops a little:wink: Wasn't really directed at you, just the ridiculous trading, whale, or pseudo whale hunting crowd in this instance.

    Please, for your own sake and digital well being, avoid posting pics of 6 case bounties.

    Or what we call "pulling an Azzy" :wink:

    Hehehehehe

    Better than "pulling a Horned Frog" (for those keeping score that means smoking a shit ton of dope and driving drunk)

    I like the stuff but I'm thinking if I was able to score 4 more bottles....I would be more than happy. Perhaps one trip to Total Wine / Specs since they are geographically close...then slip by Plano on my way home. I have to save some paper for the Rumpkin when (IF) it comes this way.
