    Has hit the Western burbs of Chicago as people have mentioned. Depending on the Binny's you go to, some have limit's, others do not. Picked up a case easily earlier in the week. Got a case discount as well :slight_smile: Cheers!

    Picked up a second 4-pack - $14.99 this time. Happy not to see price gouging at the two stores where I've found it!

    Got two 4 packs.

    I got big, big into craft beer a little after the release last year, so I totally missed it. Glad I was able to get some this year. I've labeled them and stuffed them in the stone basement to age. I plan on cracking one or two every year. Hopefully it's the beginning of my first multi-year vertical.

    Also, saw my first cases of these for sale in the KC area. $75 for the case. It's good, but I'll use that cash to stock up on some other, soon-to-be-released winter stuff :slight_smile:

    100% this! There are no world class, top notch barrel-aged Wee Heavies like this one! Especially for $14-15 a 4-pack.

    Correct, there are no other world class barrel-aged Wee Heavies at that price - Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale goes for $10-12 a 4-pack. :wink:

    There is still a bit of this hanging around Nashville. I have a few 4 packs in the cellar now!

    saw a bunch for ~ $91 a case. I have to pass on it this year. I remember paying $61 before tax for these two years ago.. 50% cost increase no thank you.

    Had my first one last night. Seems to have a little less bourbon punch than last years. Also was $1 higher than last year in Ohio $15.99/4.

    I picked up both in the same store and BB was $15.99 and CWBBSA was $17.99:confused:

    Yeah CW isn't that price around here. I paid $13.99 for BWB and I think the same $17.99 for CW (although different stores).

    That's a bummer. I live in MD (which doesn't get Central Waters) but travel to WI periodically and CW barrel-aged releases are generally around $10.

    Picked up a 4 pack at Warehouse Beverage in South Euclid for $15.99. They still had about 3 cases left.

    The fresh BA 4pks have not been below $12 anywhere in WI for some time, with most stores now at $12.99-$14.99. The bombers of Rye Barrel Chocolate Porter were under $10.
