    Plenty in Marin County...$15
    About to get into the OG Abacus tonight to test the "fresh vs aged" debate.

    I say drink it now -- it's delicious and can't see how aging could improve this particular beer. And when you do drink it, you'll be like 'why didn't I buy the other two!' Cheers.

    Thanks for the input. I'm going to crack it now. I'll make sure to get there at 9am tomorrow when they open to buy at least one more to age. Maybe two if it really blows me away, as I expect.

    Got a bottle at bevmo in Santa Monica. Had to ask as they had it in the back. Should have bought two, but I think I will crack this one soon. I don't have a cellar, but my closet may work. I'd like to start cellaring.

    I would bet store calculated $8.99 price based on 12 bottles in the case and did not realize there were only 6. I've scored half-priced FW17 in that scenario. The store probably meant to charge you $17.99.

    Thanks. They fixed pricing to $14. All is well, as long as they hold it for me like they said they would

    One of the stores near me in the south suburbs of Chicago was selling it for $31.99. Huge price hike. No wonder there is still like 7-8 sitting on their shelf after almost a week.

    It was the one in Lincoln Park.

    You may also want to check West Lakeview Liquors, I'm not sure when they got theirs in, but I was in there last Wed. (day before I got Sucaba at Binny's), and they hadn't gotten it yet.

    For what it's worth, the Binny's near Merch Mart (on Grand) just got in like 12 bottles of Sucaba.
