Bell's The Oracle

Hit stores around here on Thursday. I would expect to see it soon.

 

Roger's Park Fine Wine & Spirits on N. Clark in Chicago has about 3 six packs left being sold as singles.

They've also got a ton of Bolt Cutter, Love Child 3 and some other "rare" beers behind the counter.

 

Just found about 20 six packs at a local six pack shop here in Pittsburgh, just sitting on the floor in the corner. Untouched. $4.99/bottle. No bottle limit. Bought 2 sixers. Bottling date is 8/9/2013.

Anyone wants me to scoop some up for a trade let me know, they will be there for a while. I go back home to Michigan in a few weeks to see family.

 

@$4.99/bottle no wonder there's 20 6-packs sitting around and will continue to sit around for a long time. That's a fuckin rip!

 

Welcome to Pennsylvania. Where Dirty Bastard is $3.99/bottle, OBS is $4.99/bottle, and a 6 pack of Founders Porter is $14.99.

 

I think you better stock up while home. $9 6-packs out-the-door at the brewery, $10 for seasonal 4-packs, and $19 for specialty 4-packs.

 

Such a great beer. Better than the 'slam.

 

MN tomorrow according to this thread, so soon I'm guessing.

 

I cannot comment about release dates, I simply do not know, I do know that as of this weekend it was brewed and was waiting to package.

 

Black Note, now The Oracle? Minnesota has become the bellweather of Bell's limited releases

 

Not at the general store as of right now, just called out of curiosity.

 

Just stopped at the general store for bells and the guy at the store said that the Oracle is already packaged up. The typical runs for receiving beer is on Fridays but there has been times when they deliver a shipment during the week too.
Needless to say, expect to see The Oracle very soon!

 

What about Mars DIPA?

 

Last year Oracle was packaged on a Friday and at the store the following Monday, so maybe next week then?

 

PaulyB83, I believe that the guy at the store said that the Mars DIPA was getting ready for packaging, so I don't know how long that process takes but I can't imagine that it would take over a week to do that. I wouldn't be shocked if Mars and the Oracle came out at the same time or within a week of each other (but that's just my assumption).
