    I'm looking forward to hearing about this beer. Alpine brews some great anniversary stuff.

    Ran by to scoop up some bottles earlier. Geoi told me that giving these bottles a few extra days to come together really brings out the juiciness of the hop flavor

    Meaning they waited a few extra days to bottle or sell them, or he recommends waiting a few days to drink them?

    Gonna have to make a trip over there. This sounds fantastic. Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe. Could there be a better hop trio than that?

    Ah, my bad. He suggested waiting a few days to drink them post-purchase

    That makes sense. I'll bet they were bottled earlier this week (maybe yesterday)? I love my IPA's to have 2-3 weeks on them, with the possible exception of Pliny.

    They were bottled some time last week at the earliest. I'm sure these will be pretty tasty for the next 8+ weeks.

    To clarify, this isn't Alpine's anniversary, this is Bine and Vine's, the shop that commissioned Alpine to brew it. And Geoi said the same thing about waiting to the guy in front of me. He got it in on Friday and had it then, but loves it even more now.

    Their web store shows it as sold out- not sure if they pulled web sales or if it's actually sold out already?

    Yeah they pulled it off the site. He had tons left when I went.

    It's going fast. Literally everyone who was in the store walked out with the limit (4 bottles).

    No hawking yet. Wait til it gets 15-20 reviews. If it stays high then we might see it start to move around.

    Personally, I can't wait to drink my bottles. :wink:

    This one seemed to fly under the radar everywhere but SD.

    These are only at the store or at Alpine too?

    Store only. They were for sale online for a brief time, which is why it's in the national and not regional release forum.
