I saw on FW's facebook that they started shipping this to retailers on Monday the 12th. Also saw that Papago will be tapping this Nov 24th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. A little bummed since I will be out of town that weekend. I'm hoping this shows up on shelves before Thanksgiving so I can grab a couple bottles... their anniversary beers have always been a big hit with the family. If anybody sees 16 on the shelves this coming week, don't be a stranger and share the details here.
Bought a couple at Sun Devil (Mesa) last night. they are doing a two per person bottle limit. They have Dogfish 120 as well and also a bunch of this year's Bruery releases left over including White Oak, Oude Tart, Tart of Darkness and Fruet. My buiddy said they (FW 16 bottles) came and went at Papago already. I'm sure Whole Foods Chandler will get a ton.
Well y'all get Avery and Brooklyn and Victory and Boulevard right? So save up some Rumpkins and Mephistopheles; and Black Ops and Blanche de Brooklyns; and Storm Kings and Primas; and Saisons Brett and BBQ; and then maybe we can offer up some crap we get here....
Firewalker Anniv. is pretty much everywhere that will get it. Dogfish 120 & 75 minute at those places too. I only pulled the trigger on a minimal amount because the price is a bit of a stretch for my normal value sweet spot. Had a 120 today.
yemenmocha, where have you seen the FW 16? Im in Scottsdale and work in Phoenix... Also, Ive been looking for a 75 minute so where have you seen those?
topps got 4 (i believe) cases on thursday; TW Tempe got their 3 cases on Fri. No idea what the wknd did to the stock. $24.99 at topps, $18.99 at TW. 120 at TW, no 75 at TW. also, i believe case = 6 bottles b/c the beer is boxed, so less than a typical 12 per case, but i may be off.
TW Desert Ridge had the 75. I bought one per day starting last Friday. Interesting price difference you noted above. I'm sure the savings is insignificant
Papago sold out in a couple of hours, I'm told. Looked around at the 'hole on friday--none on the shelf. Asked Germaine who thought it had sold out. Not sure if he'd be the one to know best though. Luwak, do you recall Sun Devil's price on the Bruery stuff? Fruet seems to be obscen-er this year than the previous anniversaries.
Found a FW 16 at the AJ's on 44th & Camelback. Actually got the last bottle there that wasnt reserved... Also, talked with the Cellar Master Jonpol and signed up on his email Beer List. I would suggest it. Especially because he let me know that they should be getting Abyss next week and if you email him and ask for them to reserve one, they will depending on how much they get.
Thanks for the help everybody. I was able to snag some 16 and some 120. Missed the boat at Papago but got some at Tops
i still have some 14 and just drank one on saturday also just got some 16 as we speak putting into my cellar woohoo
Sun Devil had them on Friday...still 10 left after i left. WF Tempe has a case. WF Chandler said Friday.
