    Avery Brewing supposedly brews a limited edition stout every year called Uncle Jacobs Stout. Have any of you ever SEEN this beer at retail, much less been able to purchase it? I am able to get Mephistopheles Stout every year....have several years aging right now, but Uncle Jacobs?? Is Avery just jerking our chain?

    All over in CO when it comes out. Usually only lasts around 5 days.

    I scored a single bottle this year after searching for it for some time. It's good, it's very good. However, it is NOT excellent and definitely not worth the price I paid for it.

    At my store in Missouri we got 12 total bottles i believe? Even at $12 a bottle and a one 12 ounce bottle limit, they went in about an hour. Here in Columbia Missouri, we only get a total of 4 or 5 cases for the whole city of some of these special releases.

    Thank you gentlemen for clearing up my misconception. I think I'll just stick with the stouts I can get locally; Abyss, Ten Fidy, FBS, KBS, Stone RIS, Yeti, Brooklyn Black Chocolate, etc.

    Thank you,

    I've been seeing a bunch of this around MA lately, but couldn't get myself to grab for myself at $12 or more per bottle.

    If you're interested, give me a shout and I can grab one for you if they're still around! Imagine there's a chance.

    Try trading for it on here. Shouldn't be that hard to land one.

    Saw it in SoCal & Colorado recently, but it does tend to go fairly quick. Have never seen it in Michigan though.

    I love it...one of my favorite BA stouts.

    It made its way to DC/northern VA some weeks ago. It's an amazing beer, but most definitely pricey. Still, if you enjoy barrel aged beers, this is (in my opinion) one of the best.

    It's been easy to get and find in Seattle. I've seen it in gocery stores and big retailers like Total Wine and BevMo with no limits (in fact its been sitting there for weeks). At $14 a pop though, I'm not surprised folks aren't going crazy over this one.

    Uncle Jacob's is up there with BCBS. I think $14 is the highest price. Usually it's around $11.

    I got a bottle (2013 I think?) and still haven't drank it...BUT I recently had it at an event and it was delicious!!! Still, I think it's pricey. Enjoy!!

    I had the special version at Extreme Beer Fest. Outstanding. Definitely world class.

    Yes, Avery is jerking our chain and so are all the people who have posted reviews and traded for it.

    Seen it, bought it, drank it. IMHO it's like a better-balanced less-cloying version of a Dark Lord.

    Saw 6 bottles at a place yesterday. Passed for now, but good to know they are there and still kicking around if I want to snag a few bottles eventually.

    It is indeed one of the best, worth the hype, better than the rest, etc etc etc. Get it if you can, worth every penny.
