    Couldn't agree more. Unlike many BA beers, this one drops off very quickly. I don't really like it after year.

    I'd guess more or stronger hops as there is still a lot of barrel present, but who knows?

    Its really delicious, but Wulver is really in a category by itself...and it has the price to prove it!!

    Hit AZ on Tuesday but it was a one four pack limit at the place I go. Hoping they get more. Pretty tasty this year IMO.

    I've seen it in four stores this week and only one had limits. It was behind the counter at a pretty small store and the guy claimed to have seven cases, selling it one 4-pk at a time.

    First Post but Longtime Lurker, just grabbed 2 four packs in Northwest Indiana for 13.99... Wow this is Damn good! I had a showdown with: 16' Central Waters BBSA ,15' Thirsty Dog Wulver , and 16' BB. IMO BB is the champion.

    This is the first year I've seen it so readily available in SE Michigan. Word is they made a ton of it this year. For the last several years I have been lucky to find a 4-pack on the shelf without timing it right. Many places would even have it broken down into singles. I feel like that's the case with a lot of limited stuff around here though.

    Agree about the price....can't discern much difference between the two in overall taste. I'll take Backwoods by the case, in that case:wink:

    Anyone know where to get BB in Chicago? Surprisingly, I've never seen it anywhere and have only been able to get it via trade. :/

    It tastes completely different to me this year. But not in a bad way its just a different beer. I have a few 2015s so I'll definitely have to do a little side by side.

    FWIW, the often grumpy older guy at Binny's Grand just told me they expect it tomorrow.
