    Unless you get to store within a hour of them putting it on shelf you cant get it around here. Just wondering if there would be anymore this year or if it has all come out?

    Ton of it available in SE Wisconsin. I bought two 6-packs this year and that was two too many.

    Just curious, what does a sixer go for? I saw one for $25 and thought it was too high

    My shops in NC have sold out and I was just wondering if there were going to be anymore shipments. Guess I am out of luck. Oh well, maybe next year.

    Saw a lot sitting on shelves in AZ for weeks after release, or at least available "in the back" for weeks after release. Unfortunately the bottles here weren't as good as draft again this year, IMO.

    Actually I know that our statewide (Ohio) distributor is sitting on 100+ cases. They were instructed to distribute it later this month. I assume it is that way in other states as well. It seems as though Bells is trying to stretch the availability instead of one massive dump in January.

    grr... isn't this what bell was trying to avoid by spreading it out over several batches? damn distributors - sometimes one can't help but feel as if 90% of the problems are caused by them...

    There were a few cases of 02/09/12 here in Asheville at the begining of last week, but it's long gone now.
    I'd bet that the next bottling will be in January 2013.

    Actually that is what they are doing. This is the third shipment to my distributor for the year.

    WE did have some here, but I passed it was to pricey this year for me, let others have it.
    Liked today Bell's porter here was $9.99 a six, I went for the SN at $6.49 a 6. I like Bell's but there beer is not worth that much extra money for the same ABV beer. Besides I like SN better.

    I call it my more beer for my buck plan.

    Got 2/2/12 from stores here in Raleigh two weeks ago, but a week prior to that I had 2/09/2012 at a restaurant, only 1 week old! I am actually Hopslammed out. I have maybe 8 left to drink, I will probably share with others.

    The last batch sent to Georgia was bottled 2/10/12 and that's it for us until next year...
