Rodenbach - Alexander (US Only release)

Going to take a while to get to CA, I'd imagine.. I'm on the lookout.

 

If anybody hears about a confirmation release for Florida then I would love to hear about it, it would be much appreciated. I'm dying to try this beer from the Flanders masters.

 

Shhhhhhh

 

For those of you in MA, it just landed on some shelves this week in Boston.

 

Whats the going price

 

How was it?

 

Absolutely outstanding. The cherry flavor is ripe, rich and prominent, but not too much so; the base beer makes itself noticed on the long finish, especially the vinous/woody quality. They really came up with a sophisticated blend, overall. I really hope you are able to get some.

 

$15, but super limited. Not sure you're offering enough w your ISO.

 

I think most people agree that Rogue is overpriced. Rouge on the other hand...

 

Sounds excellent. I really hope Alexander comes to Buffalo, otherwise I probably won't get to have it. I have some bottles of the excellent Rodenbach Vintage 2013 to keep me distracted for now...

 

Since this is an ongoing series for this year and maybe next. Me thinks they will re-release Vin de Cereale as well

 

Really hope this makes it to MD. I really do expect it to.

 

I heard from someone in Atlanta that only 26 cases (6 bottle per) made it there. Only 1 pp limit. Maybe that was just one store but if there is a 1 pp limit its gonna be tough to get them

 

I had it on draft a few weeks ago in Brooklyn. Reminded me of a New Glarus fruit. The cherry is unreal. ISO bottles like everyone else.

 

Picked up 3 bottles @ around $15 per, pretty limited amounts.

 

So far on Untappd, it looks like this beer has only made it to the east coast, primarily New England with a smattering in Georgia. I guess anyone who lives more than 200 miles west of the Atlantic is going to have to trade for it.

 

Not accurate. When I ordered it last week, after the first drop, there were 45 cases showing available. With typical allocations to big stores I'd guess GA got at least 65-70 cases. But you are right in that most retailers only did one per, as most only got one case of six bottles.

 

I figured maybe that was on a few locations but sure enough this is limited enough right now so it may be a bit hard to trade for it.
For those in WA ive heard timeline us mid to late may

 

Did you already get it in?

 

Tomorrow. One case. Sad face.
