    I picked up a bottle yesterday (Seattle).

    But WTF is Rothaus Triple Extra?

    I didn't notice until you mentioned that. That's pretty funny.

    This store is an interesting one. They have some pretty old beers at times. They make mistakes with pricing (mostly due to someone entering shit in wrong for a bar code, like listing a 4-pack of a special release as one of the common annual releases, which is about $10 less). These mistakes don't always go in your favor, so you need to keep a watchful eye. Within the same purchase, I've had it go both ways, and as long as I'm not losing, I don't even mention the one that hurt me.

    Anyway, this store is also one that sometimes gets uncommon spirits. If it is truly uncommon (and thus not well known/hyped), it is often priced very fair (although it may still be a very small amount above MSRP). However, if there is even a whiff of hype, the price is increased. By how much really depends on the hype factor.

    Some beer that won't sit elsewhere will sit here. Other times, things have flown off the shelf.

    Way more than necessary to provide any type of commentary, but I figured others would enjoy.

    Seems like it was worth the wait and it’s in America for good now.

    Downside is the craft aficionado community in Europe appear to have drank the entire distribution here.

    I’m semi-joking, I haven’t been able to find it again. Was distributed and we saw it for a bit, it was a long expected and want of many of us here. Let’s say we’ve been nice and left many bottles for our American counterparts. :wink:
