Any word on Divine Reserve 14?

I'm pretty sure they come out... when they're ready.. and there's not really a set schedule for release.. but I'd love to know if DR14 is coming anytime soon

 

DRs come out when they come out. No exact schedule behind their releases. But yes, DR14 is coming soon.

 

Alex from Saint Arnold said April 28th

 

I think Matt Chow has them all already.

 

For the life of me, I can't remember exactly what he said. I want to say English strong ale. That night was a little hazy ie. BB 1-6

Thought I heard Belgian Strong Dark Ale, not sure if there was any truth to it though.

 

Over/Under on percentage of stores that break up the 6 packs and sell them only by the bottle.

My bet...too many.

 

does DR have the same distribution, to bars/restaurants only in Texas?

 

No, it sells in stores. It used to sell in 6 packs. But, I think stores know they can make more money by breaking them up so they will probably do that.

 

I'm thinking that the likelihood this goes out in 4 packs rather than 6 packs this time around is very high.

 

I would too...only if it is priced right ~ $10/4pk

 

Most stores can't sell individual 12oz bottles of Divine Reserve because the labels don't have a UPC printed on them.

 

You think that will stop the flag store at all from selling them at 10.99? Grocery stores, I can see (just like KBS was sold by the 4 pack at most places). Small convenient store gas stations that do not scan, they will break them up.

 

I said that a few months back and one of the Saint Arnold guys replied back that there was no plan to change Divine Reserve to 4 packs. But it would make perfect sense to me.

Edit: here is the post

How many small convenience store gas stations actually get Divine Reserve? Y'all need to stop worrying about what the dipshits at the flag store do and start patronizing better stores.

 

Guys, with each new Divine Reserve release, Saint Arnold usually brews a lot more than the previous release. No need to speculate about the next one being harder to find or in smaller packages.
