    Im not a big fan of Barleywines but look forward to fresh Bigfoot every year since it leans more towards a DIPA. But all I see on shelves now is 2014 bottles. Has the 15 not come out yet? Or is it being held due to 14 still being in warehouses? Any info appreciated.

    I literally just poured a bottle of 2015 into my snifter before logging on and seeing this. I'm in the northwest though, so I'm guessing distribution just hasn't made it's way to Connecticut yet. Keep and eye out.

    I've seen this in MA and RI so chances are it's in CT. Funny though I only like Bigfoot with at least a year age on it so that hops drops off. Different strokes for different folks

    I recently did a side by side, and the '14 still tasted hoppier than the '15 to me... I liked the '14 better and wish there was still more on the shelves here!

    I should get another bottle and age it. I agree, I'm not sure about American barley wines. They often have a stronger hop presence than I'd like. It was good, but I'd enjoy it better with less hoppyness.

    Where do you see '14 on the shelf? I don't think I've ever noticed a Bigfoot in CT.

    I am having the same issues. I have 2013 and 2014 at my house and woulld like the 2015 to do a vertical. Everywhere I go around here only has last years bigfoot. Seems to be a CT problem only...

    bought a 4 pack a couple of weeks ago at Cable Beverage in Rockland County NY. Fairgrounds in Danbury knew nothing about it, told me that they would ask salesman and then email me, havent heard yet.

    Plenty of 2015 in NY. Just drive over the border. Seems to be a CT issue.

    I haven't seen Bigfoot in regular bottles here. I did however see a barrel-aged version in a 750ml-like bottle for 2015. Hmm.

    I just bought a 2015 BA Bigfoot yesterday in CT. Regular should be coming around about now.
