    I need to say this is for a case if Brooklyn Chocolate Stout. I have had some nail thinking it was Bourbon County Stout.

    Enjoy

    Where in NC are you? City Beverage in Winston still has cases of it.

    I'm back and forth between Wilmington and Kinston. I guess it just flew off the shelves around here, haha.

    Havent had the BA version yet myself .
    Regular Narwhal did take a bit of time to get released in NY but after it got the greenlight it was all over the place for months

    It was pretty easy to get here last year and in fact I know of a place or 2 that still has some from last year. Looking forward to some fresh ones this year.

    I've actually managed to hang on to a 4-pack so far. Very tempting, but I wanna do the vertical thing.

    Narwhal will be available starting in late September this year and should be on-shelves until the end of the year. Slightly larger release than the debut season.
    Same price-point and package as last year.

    Hope this helps,

    -Bill

    I'm not going to comment on the details with this, but as it's been stated...the more beers enter the marketplace, the more commonplace these types of issues will become. In most cases both sides have valid reasoning. It's sad because in all cases, someone's hard work and thought has to be put aside. Intellectual property, names, trademark and design are all important aspects in brand building.
    In the case stated above, this issue did have an effect on distribution in New York last year, but since the resolve it will have no further impact on Narwhal going forward.

    Picked up a 4 pack of 2013 Narwhal here in North Dakota. Only cost $6.97, which means I'm going to buy a full case tomorrow :grinning:

    I have 5 bottles of 2012 left so I'm going to do a comparison soon.

    Fun fact: I love the Narwhal caps this year

    Just got 2 bottles of 2013 today. $3.99 a bottle. The store I bought it from didn't have 4 packs. Just singles. This was in Iowa City, IA.

    When anyone sees this down south in Louisiana let me know. I only bought one 4-pack of the 2012 left around recently and immediately regretted it... :slight_frown:

    Weird. I picked up a 4 pack in Cedar Rapids for $9.99. $3.99 a bottle seems steep. It was hard to find last year. Still some hanging around this year in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area. I really enjoy this beer, everything from the beer itself to the packaging(label, color scheme, etc.)
