    I will be traveling for work tomorrow on the West & South side of Detroit, MI. I am looking for Bells Oracle and am wondering what bottle shops to stop by to find it. Or just a great bottle shop in general in these areas.

    Cheers.

    If you're going to be in the city itself then you're out of luck. If 'in Detroit' also means the suburbs then your best bet is Merchants Fine Wine in Dearborn. (Park in th rear and go in that door.) http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2534/view=beerfly

    I don't know if this beer has hit the store shelves yet, so call ahead.

    Merchants seems to get their stuff Friday, but it doesn't seem like anyone's gotten this yet in the area anyways. Certainly no where I go.

    I don't think it's hitting shelves until next week. That's not for sure, but it just hit the Bell's General Store this week. Sometimes it takes a week or two for it to hit elsewhere.

    For those that hit up the general store somewhat frequently - how long do you think Oracle will last there? I'm thinking about making a trip that way either tomorrow night or saturday.

    It's not a trip-breaker, as I'm basically looking for an excuse to avoid the dream cruise. But would obviously like to snag some. Thanks!

    Depending on how far you'd be driving from, call them around closing time the night before to gauge whether the drive is worth it or not.

    2 more weeks? It's already 10 days old and super malt forward.

    This will for sure be available in Oakland County this week, if not already.

    It'll be here in IL fairly soon, and in short supply. Expect places to get 1-3 cases max.

    I left my name and number at a Cap'n Cork in Fort Wayne. Got the call yesterday so I now have a sixer. They told me they only got 1 case for all locations. Not sure if that's true.
