    Last year it disappeared very quickly from what I noticed. Unless the numbers were up, I would say it will be hit or miss and you may have to do some legwork.

    Check the Giant Eagles first. Weilands and the smaller places probably go through theirs by then

    It went very quickly last year. The Giant Eagle in Grandview got a huge allotment this year - they had probably 10 or 15 cases when I was in there on Tuesday. I don't know if they made more this year or if that store just got more. I also don't know how long it sticks around. Hopefully you can find some.

    It depends. It goes pretty quick, but not always like literally off the shelves in a couple days. Giant Eagle Market District in Grandview got their shipment Tuesday and I'd say they had about 15ish cases left today.

    I'm honestly in heaven right now. This beer is literally my #1 beer of all time.

    I'm not ready to go quite that far, but I had my first of the year last night and it was fantastic. Stellar stuff. I do not remember being this blown away with last years version. Best wet hop I can remember in a while for sure.

    Yakima Fresh literally just showed up while I was in Circle A in North Royalton. Picked up a few 4's right off the truck. They got 4 or 5 cases worth, at least while I was in there. Can't wait to try tomorrow!

    It's personally my favorite beer. I know taste is subjective, but I think it tastes just as good as last year's.

    Yakima Fresh shares the same UPC as Creeper, Cowboy Bernie, and Uncle Rusty. "Should" be 12.99/4pk.

    We brewed 50% more this year, selling more cases in Cbus and NE Ohio, but also sending some to our new market in NW Ohio. Unless this year completely flops, I'd expect even more in 2019 to accommodate Dayton, Cinci, etc. :wink:

    Galaxy driven Insane Wanderer vol 3 will drop in a few weeks....

    Certainly, I could be all wrong about last years. My palate could have been in a different place.

    No way it can flop. The more of this the better.

    Between Yakima Fresh, Insane Wanderer Volume 3, Citra Noel, Bodhi, and Creeper (assuming you do a fresh release before Christmas) you guys are crowding my fridge :slight_smile:

    Picked up some Yakima today. Thanks for the post, @invertalon. Went up yesterday looking, and they said maybe today, but it had already slipped my befuddled mind.

    This is certainly the best Hop Stalker I've ever had. I wasn't really even a fan of it before, definitely a big step up, is it being draft only even a downside?

    I assume that means your entire lineup is going to start making its way down here? If so, great news!

    Not if you have access to it... and I do

    I personally think Hop Stalker is one of their top 2-3 IPAs, and consistently one of the best wet hopped beers I have had anywhere. That said, enjoying my Yakima a lot, too
