    I'm sure its pretty early to start this thread, and possibly will end up being salt in the wound of my not scoring a bottle, but I wanted to open this up to all SE MI peeps to share their wisdom or sightings of 2015 BA Bigfoot. Maybe @Holiday1072 can chime in, as he's the best industry insider in the area. I know that production doubled over the last release, but that doesn't mean we'll see more than a few cases statewide. Anyone with shareable info, please do so.

    Oakland/Macomb will start seeing BA Bigfoot in early March, along with Hop Hunter. Cannot comment on other counties.

    Many thanks to @wintbs379 for the tip - a true advocate!

    Now available in Ann Arbor/South Lyon/Brighton area. Will be enjoying as many as I can find!

    Looks like its in several spots in Ann Arbor. What's the going rate for this? I'm going to look around my area this weekend.

    Thanks for the info. That's what I figured. BA Narwhal was $25 around me, so I figured this would probably be the same.

    I hate this place so much. They always have what I want, but at rip off prices.

    Country Acres in South Lyon (10 Mile and Rushton) had four bottles on the shelf last night, $20 each. Canopy needs to go straight to hell.

    Agreed. But, a trip to AA would prob cost me more than the up charge.

    One of the places I go to regularly was selling it for 9.99 so I grabbed the last 2. I think they must have priced it wrong because its 18.99 and up everywhere else around here (far north Chicago suburbs)

    Maybe they only have what you want because they are selling them at rip off prices.

    fwiw, we did a side by side tasting with the 2013...We all thought 2013 was really in a weird place..I personally thought it was awful....2015 was quite good...A little hot, pretty hoppy...I dont know if I would age it if it ends up like the 2013

    Totally agree with this. I drank my last 2013 this past November, and it didn't hold up at all to how it was fresh. There was very little of the barrel flavor left, and there was hardly any character of the base beer - it was a muted mess. I'm going to drink my three 2015s in the next few months.

    Thanks for the tip. My first ba Bigfoot. So consensus is regular Bigfoot has some legs but BA does not?

    I'd say this is a correct statement.
