    Since it's officially out, it seemed like we should start a new thread.

    If you don't already know, this year's version (the 6th!) is a collaboration between Ft. George, Holy Mountain, and Modern Times.

    I hope it will be around as long as the 2017. I was able to find that off and on for a couple months.

    I would assume (and hope) they'll brew more of it this year than any of the years past, but that's just speculation on my part. A place in Salem is already selling 4-packs, but I'm not going to buy any there since they clearly muled it down from the brewery and are reselling it.

    I already know my go-to in Salem didn't get any allocated to them (which is a load of crap, Maletis), but I'm still hopeful other places in town will see it tomorrow.

    Yes, I saw that a certain newcomer downtown had 4-packs for sale and I found that as suspicious as them selling Great Notion cans in the past. Seems like a questionable business method, especially for someone still trying to establish themselves locally.

    My normal go-tos are LifeSource and B2 and both have been spotty on getting Fort George releases in the past. I'm sure someone will end up with some.

    I was informed by my distributor it will drop all over Portland first thing tomorrow morning.

    Will I be seeing any of you at the White Owl official release party?

    Sounds like Holy Mountain will have cans this weekend (they brought them up from Astoria) but the official Seattle area delivery won’t be until next Wednesday.

    I really hope this years batch is easier to find than last year, but I’m not hopeful. The thirst for juice is real.

    Last year, if I recall correctly, Fort George canned a lot less 3-Way than previous years, apparently preferring the stability of the beer in kegs instead of cans. That made it that much harder to find cans on the shelves. (And frankly I don't remember seeing a proportionally larger amount on draft either.)

    After seeing giant displays of 3-Way at my local Whole Foods the previous 3 years, it was disappointing to only stumble across stray 4-packs last summer.

    If I wasn't busy watching workers removing 3 large trees from my back yard I'd be there but it will have to wait as will the Fremont Dynomite v. 4. release today. I've barely dented my Heavenless. Too many beers...Watching hard work is such hard work...

    Currently, it looks like Portland is getting a large portion of the distro. New news if it hitting Bend yet.

    Hanging out with a bunch of oily 20 something hipsters isn’t really my scene, especially if cans are available elsewhere.

    Still cool if I take one of those cans off your hands?

    based on social media internets, it appears Arch Bridge (of course) has 3-WAY on deck.

    Beermongers dude said it’s the fastest they’ve sold out of anything. 5 cases in a hour.

    Of course. They have your name on them. Just have been too busy to get into Seattle yet.

    What were the limits? Always amazed when places have case limits on releases like this.
