    Has this come and gone yet this year?
    Goose Island's release calendar says TBD, but I thought that I heard from my beer store that this was supposed to hit shelves awhile ago. But then I never saw it or thought about it again.

    Edit: Perhaps this would have been better to post under Beer Releases.

    I picked up a bottle almost 2months ago here in Michigan that I would have to assume is from this year?

    I don't think we've seen any from 2013 -- as mentioned, you can still find the 2012 without too much effort.

    At this point, I don't even know why Goose keeps its online release calendar going.

    oops. i thought the current batch was 2013. but i guess it was around late last year that they released it, along with night stalker.

    Hell... maybe Big John did come out this year? I literally have no idea and just assumed it came out at the end of last year.

    December 2012 is correct. Not sure about a 2013 batch.

    Thanks all. I knew it was brewed in late 2012, just wasn't sure if it ever hit shelves in 2013.

    Any one seen this in Ohio?

    I'll double check in the morning, but i'm pretty sure there is no 2013 batch yet.

    I picked up a single bottle at Weiland's around late December/early January. And I know World of Beer-Easton received some around then as well.
