    Has anyone seen this in Austin lately? Looking to build a "mini-vertical" for a trading partner.

    Edit: Wow, I don't even know what year it is. Correction: Looking for 2012.

    I came in to say this. I recently bought a couple bottles to trade, and the Brodie Spec's had at least a case left (probably more). They've been selling slowly, so it shouldn't be in danger of running out anytime soon.

    I wish the label color would change. I almost grabbed a 2013, thinking it was a 2012.

    Also, Whole Foods has Hops & Grain 6pks for $6.99 if anybody's interested.

    How much does Sisyphus run and how long is it on shelves?

    It sits around for years, lol. About $5 a bottle or $20 a 4-pack, iirc.

    At one point I could easily walk into any store and pick up a 4 year vertical.

    In Houston I haven't seen a 2012 in over 6 months. Probably longer.

    Had a 08 back in January, and it was amazing. I'll say this is the most underrated beer in Texas.

    My trading partner that the OP was about gave it a 4.25, so I guess he liked it. I remember grabbing one for me as well that I'm still sitting on. I recently had the "brilliant" idea of accumulating as many cellarable 2012 beers as possible so I could pop 1 or 2 on my daughter's birthdays. Maybe I should go hunt for some more Sisyphus as people seem to be having good results over the years.

    About $16/4pk. If you can find it in singles, it'll probably be around $4.5-$5. It doesn't sit on shelves as long as it used to, but it's still pretty easy to come by.

    Of course it is; it's from Real Ale.

    Had one a few months ago.

    Needs more age IMHO.
