    Looked for thread, couldn't find one on this beer release.

    So, who all saw distro of this beer. I heard only 50 cases landed here in Wisconsin. Is that the same for others? I was able to grab one bottle at my local spot (limit 1), going to fish around and try to find one to cellar. With the hype of Starkeller Peach, is this one that could see that type of hype? Wasn't able to land a Starkeller, but would have loved to do a side by side.

    Wisconsin only received 20 cases and one 1/4bbl. Less than 5K were bottled. Madison got around 10 cases and MKE 10. Should be able to find at Ray's, Discount and Sonoma Cellars Oconomowac if your looking to cellar one. WOB, Sir James and Draft and Vessel will have bottles as well.

    Grabbed one during the release in SLC. Only other Peach sour I tried was New Glarus Wild Peach. IMO the peaches in the Epic version is only noticeable while New Glarus Wild Peach is a peach bomb.

    It's $12.99-13.99 for 500ml or is it 375ml? Pretty steep price for a new beer.

    Very limited indeed, and I couldn't get it at the closest bottle shop to me. I asked an Epic rep at a tasting, and he apologized "for our first round of sour peaches being so small" and said they'll have some more in the winter. Not sure whether that means they'll simply release more or that it'll be easier to find. From how he said it, I interpreted it as the latter, but now I'm not so sure.

    By the way, he said even Colorado got only 45 cases.

    Looks to be a 375. That's a lot of money for a sour version of a base beer with minimal peach flavor and a rAvg of 3.56

    apparently it's a different base than the Belgian brainless.
