Oh where oh where has Noble Pilsner gone?

I bought a six-pack about three weeks ago at Total Wine & More in Claymont, DE.

You should be seeing it (soon?) in your area.

I think this year’s Noble Pils is good but the hops are much more subdued then in past years; this year’s version taste more like a present day Southern German style Pilsner.

I liked the past years better; I prefer very hoppy Pilsners.

Cheers!

 

It's in NJ and IL.

Other markets, too, from a quick look at the latest reviews that mention the date code.

 

I also saw it in the Summer variety pack yesterday.

 

Saw it at Walmart today

 

I live in Pennsylvania and due to restrictive liquor laws you can’t buy beer at stores like Walmart.

Could you please tell me how much Sam Adams Noble Pils costs at your Walmart?

Cheers!

 

Use the Sam Adams beer locator on their website. it shows who has it near you.

It's listed in AZ but I haven't hit the spots where it is stocked yet.

 

Just got a single at a total Wine around here... although judging from taste it was very far from the fresh wonderful elixir I love so much...

 

I do all the ordering for my restaraunt that I work at. I was talking to the distributer for Sam products, and she said they had bottles coming in last week. Around the NC area.

 

I haven't looked because I didn't realize it was finally out, but I also haven't seen ti yet. It's not like MA is the home of Sam Adams or anything - makes sense that we'd get it a month after New Jersey...

 

I believe I saw it for about $9.50, not a great deal or anything.

 

we have had it in Minneapolis for a few weeks now

 

Once again, our local Sam Adams distro is behind the curve. I went looking for it around N. eastern IL last night and could only find Alpine Spring. Oh, a couple sixers of the Summer Ale too...

 

Uh, oh! Get out a black Sharpie and cross out "IL" in my post above. I was going by my (faulty) memory of steveh's discussion of comparing Alpine Spring and Noble Pils side-by-side. (Still haven't done mine...).

 

I followed your directions - now I have a black spot on my monitor forever...Thanks!

 

Yeah -- I saw some sixpacks a couple weeks back, then -- blink! Gone.

Now I'm a little worried about the age on that sixpack...

Don't forget, you can't base what's available in IL by my sightings. My area is the island of distribution ignorance. Mere miles away stores will have new beers from BBC, while our distro is telling us it isn't available.

 

I thought about that, too - but the 2012 labels for the now year-'round Noble Pils say 2012 in the notching area. (It actually says it 12 times, once under each month.)

 

Now you're assuming I paid that much attention!

And no, none of the bottles are left.

 

It probably went to the land of bland beers to die. I could never understand the love for this mediocre beer on this site. There are much better warm weather offerings, like Brooklyn summer or English ipas
