    Anyone know when, or if this beer comes around?
    I stumbled across it a year (maybe two) ago in TW just sitting on the shelf. A buddy up north just posted a pic that he found some, so wondering if it is getting distrod right now.

    Hmm, their facebook page says: Release News: Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XVI will be available on 2/1/2014

    I have never seen this in a store in South Florida. The only times I've ever gotten it were in other states. It does hit down here (a friend of mine who used to work for Total Boca confirmed they've had it before), but you have to really be on top of it. I have a XII and a XIII that I want to either open or trade at some point, but I can't bring myself to do it.

    Your best bet I'd think would be Stop n Shop and Sunset Corners down here.

    It sat at my local ABC store for a long time last year. I think the $22 price tag kept it on the shelves.

    Hmm, I found Sunset Corners, but what is this Stop n Shop you speak of?

    I found it shelf-turding around at shops up here last year (see also: Sam's note on price point.) If I see one this time around I'll hit you up.

    Stop n Shop is a dive gas station near UM that has an insane beer selection. You wouldn't believe the shit I've found there. Crazy bottles that aren't supposed to be down here and lots of Cigar City stuff nobody around got.

    Sounds like Gator Beverage near UF campus. You walk in expecting all the Natty Light your eyes could handle and instead it's wall to wall "WHAT?! How did they even GET this??" Who are these people....

    Yeah, an ex found it and took me there once. I was walking in and it's so ghetto. I didn't think they'd have shit. Even the pics on that URL don't do it justice. There are so many bombers, they don't even know what they had. I found a 2 year old Big Sound there about 6 months ago. They had 110Ks, Gentlemen's Club, tons of Bruery stuff like Smoking Wood and SITR, etc. It's an awesome store if you're looking for good trade bait.

    BX Beer Depot gets it every year, at least to my knowledge. I'd call them to see if they've got it.

    Ah damn, they are all like an hour south of me...
    BX isn't too far though, only a half hour north, I'll give them a ring.

    EDIT- Just called.
    Nothing yet at BX but they are expecting it sometime this year.

    you gotta watch out for price gouging at stop n shop. They had zhukov there for $34

    Damn...and I thought 67 was bad lol.

    Whoa, I haven't seen anything like that. Usually they are on the overpriced side, but not extreme. I never even thought they were 67 bad.

    Maybe they were selling year old ones? Regardless, it's so far from me I'll likely never make it down there unless I'm in Miami for some strange reason...

    pretty much anytime I've seen quick selling limited beers in that store the prices are nuts. Singles of hopslam about 3 years ago were I believe $8.

    It was in a lot of places in Orlando last year. Despite the price it's a pretty damn tasty beer. If you're in this neck of the woods ever, places like Pat's Liquor and Leaf by UCF unsurprisingly have it collecting dust in the back.

    Saw some at jan's wine and boos in carollwood (tampa) a few months back... grabbed one. Phenomenal. Worth the price.

    Not sure about the newest batch though... haven't seen any alerts. They always post when they get new stuff.
