    I'll def buy one next year, too.
    You really drank 3 6-packs since the fourth? you animal!

    It's a nice filler beer. and 2 doors.
    As much as i want to hate it imagine seeing this at 4 dollars for a bomber?

    sheessssh. Take. :clap:My .:clap: Money:clap:

    I finally got to try this years version and I think I’m with the majority in saying a six pack for $13.57 is well worth the price, but it strikes me as a bit too sweet. Think I’ll add a little of this mornings coffee as Im getting very little if any of that flavor.

    Still F%ing waiting! Connecticut is so BS with Lagunitas apparently. Hopefully soon but this is ridiculous at this point

    If they haven't arrived by now i doubt you'll see them. 3 months after a release and not on shelves is crazy

    Still nothing here.

    I gave up, if I run across it good.

    I did grab a pack of Bigfoot finally so there is still hope.

    I need to open a Hi-West for the cellar event.

    Enjoy

    Ninety Nine Bottles in Trumbull is the only place where I have seen it. I paid $19.99 for my sixer.

    The Total Wine website says that the Norwalk location has some as well.

    So wild. Only one grocery store seems to have gotten it in my area and they are out now (it was "on sale" the entire time they had it out). I haven't seen it at any other grocery stores, liquor stores, or either the independent or chain "beverage warehouse" type places.

    Weird way to sell beer

    Yeah I don't get it at all. Add two bottles to the pack but decrease the price, and then limit its distribution. Huh?

    I had assumed that moving to 6 packs and adding a "limited release" banner on the label was just a way to push a lot more beer by making people feel it was scarce. Instead it seems like they made it scarce on purpose while also reducing the unit price. Maybe they're testing out some new economic theory?

    I'm hoping to pick up a pack if I can ever make it to Total Wine. I still have a couple of 2022s and would like to make the comparison.

    @unlikelyspiderperson @KP7

    I DOUBT it's the distro. I think they just made a smaller amount this year. They used the words EXTREMELY LIMITED RELEASE this year, didn't they just say it was LIMITED RELEASE before?

    They are just a shit brewery now that cares more about making those hard teas , syrupy TIPAs and 19.2 oz IPA cans. ( gotta keep the lights on(

    Only 3 places in Los Angeles got it.

    I know the beer sucks cuz i have had 3 in me fridge for 2 weeks that i don't care open and walk past the packs i see at Handy Market .

    It's an overly sweet , unbalanced shell of what it was.


    4 thumbs down

    Well I checked their beer finder on their site. It’s not at any of my regular stores. If it really is that sweet then there is no point in me even getting it.

    What's up with Lag's beer finder? I put in my zip and choose Willetized and it shows that the TW near me is showing out of stock for Waldos. It's not much of a loss to be honest.

    Thanks. I'm up north. If I bump into it I'll get some. Otherwise all is good. :+1:

    You're not missing anything besides a cheaply priced ba stout; that's the best thing about the beer this year and nothing else.

    Hope you land some .
