    Doubtful - I had to bubblewrap last year's BB25 to take it on an airplane when I flew home (phila) so my buddy could try it.

    Out here, in the PNW, it stayed on the shelves for quite some time actually. I got some before my trip and loved it so much I ran right to Total Wine when I got off the plane and they were able to order another case for me - this was several weeks after the release. So my advice, make friends with some pacific northwesterns.

    Can't wait to get my hands on some of this - I flaked and missed out when Total Wine put the 25th on tap a few months ago:slight_frown:

    Mirror, Mirror is still on the shelf here, but at $18 for a 750 I just can't justify it. Hope XXVI is a bit more affordable, otherwise I'll stick with CW Brewers Reserve BA Barleywine Ale.

    Deschutes distributes to Jersey?
    I thought Pennsylvania was as far East as they distribute?

    No. You also sound like a pretentious A-hole when you talk about drinking beer brewed with pomegranate molasses and cocoa nibs.

    They just started distro to Wisconsin TODAY, but it looks like they didn't send anything but their mainline stuff. I was really hoping for some "new distro" goodies...

    14.99 here, and it's 22 oz. What you're "sticking with" is pretty damn good!

    There are cases on cases of this still at the store I frequent, but no sign of Black Butte XXVl. Not sure if it made it here or just flew off the shelf.

    Where do you still see Mirror? I could always use more. Also, I think Black Butte is circulating late based on the couple of places I have stopped/ talked to. Was released on a Friday and then the holiday week didn't help. Look for it next week.

    Thanks for the info. Marino's in Toledo still had plenty of Mirror Mirror last time I was in so check it out if you're not far away. I plan on grabbing more next time I stop in.

    If you're in the Dayton area, DLM Springboro and Earthfare both still have Mirror Mirror

    All of the Deschutes "reserve series" bottles area essentially shelf turds here in CO (except for Abyss) ... $16.99 price point doesn't help... there's tons of Mirror Mirror, Not the Stoic, and BB XXV just sitting on shelves at plenty of stores here... haven't seen the XXVI yet though

    They have two brewpubs and I've heard the food is really good. I'd imagine they put their menu items as pairing suggestions and that's probably why they are so specific lol.

    That's probably true, but they should just list the pairings on the brewpub menu in that case.
