    What's the difference between the rusty nail and the first nail? I ask because (just ask @woemad) I was at my local albertson's and I thought they had the rusty nail for 9.99. Upon further inspection, it was the first nail. I didn't pull the trigger due to confusion, but could easily go back.

    Rusty Nail is BA First Nail. And how are there First Nails still sitting on shelves anywhere? I wish that was the case in Seattle.

    That's the end result of everyone running out and buying them when they first hit the shelves.

    Don't recall that happening. I was able to find a couple bottles many months later at SDM. But for them to be on shelves still at this point, that would be nice.

    Well, the first Rusty Nail was only differentiated by its wax and skulls. The label still said First Nail. (That said, it's not on shelves anywhere.)

    Ahh, thanks.

    So it would be a worthwhile buy I take it.

    To be more specific it was the very first batch of First Nail in a bourbon barrel. The only way you knew it was Rusty Nail was the red wax and plastic skull.

    I'm just glad it wasn't SBD, Silent But Deadly.

    I opened one recently and it was tasting great. I would grab it again if I saw it.

    So, I'm guessing Rusty will release next week. I'll need to join the list of people hoping someone can grab them one. I'll be out of town until the 19th.

    There are few beers I would be upset about missing at release, but this is one of them. On the plus side, if I miss it, at least it was for 8 days in Palm Springs. :sunglasses:

    It's times like these that I'm really mad I had to move to Portland.

    Also, The Lamb is coming out again? Whatever batch (batches?) was at the last two HHCs was the fucking heat.
