    FWIW, Lagunitas beer finder seems to be pretty hyperlocal (i.e., it sucks lol). If I type in my town, I get nothing but if I put in a town 20 minutes away, I get hits. Good luck and happy hunting!

    Like @DavetotheB posted above, the beer finder is indeed "hyperlocal". Yesterday I used the Lagunitas Beer Finder to see if it has arrived to my area but I came up empty but if I instead put in another town 10+ miles away it showed results. You might want to 'play this game' too? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Cheers!

    P.S. And if you have the explanation for the cockamamie rollout of how Lagunitas distributed the beer this year you will be the winner!

    Picked some up today. I've never had it before but looking forward to it. At $12.99 a four pack it's a bargain compared to others.

    So is the coffee flavor fading already? I’m in upstate NY this week and will keep an eye out. Can’t believe it’s the end of the year and this thing hasn’t, or is only now, appearing in the tri state area.

    I think it's fading already. It's been sitting in bottles for over 9 months at this point. Definitely worth $10-14 a 4pk, but I wouldn't pay $17 for it.

    B&B Beverage, Doylestown. As of Wed, they still had at least 3 cases left. A lot of places in SEPA are showing up in Lags beer finder now. Cheers and Happy Hunting!

    I've never got much coffee from this beer, and don't get any this year. Still a good beer though.

    Thanks. I did find 2 four packs elsewhere. Hoping/waiting for Wegman's to get some. Very small distribution in SEPA :slight_frown:

    My suggestion is that you regularly check the Lagunitas beer finder.

    https://lagunitas.com/beer-finder/

    I noticed that today I finally got results (5 places) that have this beer in my local area (7 miles and less). Unfortunately my local Wegmans is not one of those places.

    Cheers!

    Yes, I never thought it was particularly coffee-heavy, especially since I believe it's brewed with coffee pre-barrel-aging rather than conditioned afterwards.

    After checking 2 of the nearby stores that showed up on Lagunitas's Beer Finder and coming up empty-handed, I randomly stumbled upon four 4-packs in a cooler at a local gas station known for being well-stocked with craft beer.

    I "only" purchased 3 of the 4 I saw in order to leave at least 1 for others.

    Here's to hoping Lagunitas never stops producing this at such a reasonable price. :beers:

    Just to confirm, that gas station was not listed on the Lagunitas Beer Finder site?

    Cheers!

    Still nothing in PA apart from the Philly burbs?

    I saw a few cases today in Norfolk VA TW... did not partake as I have way too much beer as it is.

    Still havn't seen these in NC yet. Last time Total Wine had a lot of them, so hoping these turn up there at some point.

    Been enjoying the 4 pack I picked up. Honestly, quite a bit better than BCBSC, and a FAR better price to boot.

    What is BCBSC?

    Are referring to the regular Goose Island Bourbon County, and that Willetized is straight up better? That's crazy talk. Though the Willetized is good, and for sure a better value.

    He meant BCBCS (The coffee variant), he just inadvertently swapped the last two letters.
