    The TW in Northridge may or may not have held back all but a few bottles for staff to buy. I am in there 3 times a week and I never saw it in person or on the website. I doubt you are going to get any by now.

    I actually just checked the website. Not even listed anymore. I mean it's a great beer, but come one, let's distribute here.

    This year Deschutes really messed up with the release of this beer here (Sacramento area), and it sounds like other places as well. We got 1/3 of the cases we have gotten in previous years and they all sold out in a day for $18/bottle as opposed to the usual $12 or $13. The only place that didn't gouge was Whole Foods. I'm wondering if this is due to new large accounts for Deschutes such as Costco, Safeway, or other large chain grocery stores. I really hope this isn't a trend with them and they are not abandoning their loyal customers for large accounts. This strategy is no better than the macro breweries.

    I never thought I'd end up trading for a beer that I was in the distro range of but somebody on another forum in NM came through for me since it hangs around for a lot longer.

    Yeah I know what you mean. I figured it would be a little harder to get this year but did not expect it to be so sparse. Luckily I still have some 2010 left to tide me over till next years release.
