    These are usually 2pp and $15 each, right?

    How fast does this sell? I was planning on being in Maine on Tuesday. I can be there Saturday if it increases my chances.

    Last time it went on sale it lasted about a week, but this was also in the middle of July (tourist season). Cerise this time last year lasted at a couple weeks.

    Anyone know if Golden Brett is still available?

    It lasted about two weeks last year. I'll be there next Friday, so I'm hoping there will be some left.

    Upped to four per on Red? Nice, hopefully that means there's plenty to stick around for a few weeks.

    IIRC, they do this (4pp limit) for the limited releases, and if it starts to fly off the shelves, they drop it to 2pp to make it last a bit longer. I didnt get red last year, but i did get resurgam and it was 4pp after a solid 2 weeks from release

    I bought a couple bottles this afternoon. The lady working the front desk estimated that the Red will last until this Saturday, but will not last through Saturday. It is FLYING off the shelves. I was there 5 minutes and they must have sold almost 10 bottles.

    Maybe... I've asked with past releases and their estimates were always wrong. Usually the beers lasted longer than they've told me. Yes, a lot will likely sell Saturday but I wouldn't trust the counters estimates. My advice is to call the brewery before making a trip.

    About 200 or less bottles left at this point. Get yours now or next time.

    I was there about 2 and only about 45 left. Probably gone after today.

    Is this released yearly?
