This is what I expect to happen.

It will show up at places like JK for events. They will likely be ticket only events where they "may" be able to purchase them.

From there, I expect it to go to festivals and beer dinners.

After a bit longer, limited amounts will start making it to limited distro to very specific shops.

I would not hold your breathe on getting to take it home for at least 6-12 months.

I would also wait for JK to announce their event before we even have a real idea on these things. But, I do think it's safe to say the first wave of it will not be hitting bottle shops and we don't need to worry about retail prices.

I could be wrong, but just my take on things.

The second bottle was Kriek 100% Lambic, just FYI for both bottles and kegs.
