    Duckworth's on Park has it on tap, and I picked up a 4-pack @ Brawleys.

    I know Healthy Home Market had quite a bit of it a week or so ago. Might be worth checking out.

    Don't think I'll buy it again, it was good, just not worth the price at $9.99/4-pack. I would have been much happier with a fresh sixer of Red's Rye or Centennial.

    Though I like this beer very much, I have to wonder.....is this thing really brewed with 100% wet hops?! Anyone else feel like this beer is too "fruity" and not so much "grassy" and "piney" like most other wet hopped beers? I could be wrong, I just have a feeling that they use more than just wet hops in this beer. It's fantastic stuff regardless. Cheers!

    I have loved it in the past and am I big fan of all things founders but I think Sierra Estate blows it away this year...

    Picked up a couple at Total Wine today and look forward to trying it out. Noticed a few winter ales coming out as well. Appropriate since it's freezing here today.

    9.99/4 pk in NWI... they had three on the shelf, should have grabbed more than one. Thought it was tasty, think i prefer it to the Broo-Doo in a tight race.

    Harvest Ale was pretty good, very fresh tasting. Am I the only ones that loves Centennial!? My ONLY problem with Centennial is that it must be fresh, within 3-4 weeks, or else it loses tremendous hop flavor.

    I agree that Centennial Ipa is awesome when super fresh, but it definitely falls off quick. Southern Tier 2x does the same thing. If you've never had these super fresh, I recommend it. Cheers!

    Shrug. I don't disagree, but SN wet hop stuff is still pretty good (I really like the Northern Hemisphere this year), and it's a HELL of a lot easier to find than Founders Harvest ale. Doesn't matter how good a beer is if I can't find it without a major search to obtain, and without paying an arm and leg to buy.

    Unless you're in GA, where Harvest has landed (and in some cases has gone), and Northern Hemi is nowhere to be found. I wish a better distributor would pick up SN in our area.

    That's a shame, as it's quite good this year. It's everywhere in the DC, Nova and Baltimore area.
