    Hey, any of us can get a picture of an empty box and post it here. :wink:

    I'm getting really excited for this one - probably moreso than BCBS. I have loved every anniversary beer by FW that I've had, and I'm assuming this will not be any different.

    OK Northern California. Costco Danville had this last night for $17.99… I got the last one. I'm trying to figure out how to download the damn picture from my phone but I don't know how to do this on BA (if someone wanted to tell me how that'd be great). I had the manager there check on the computer and the other area Costco's have this on order and should be in any day so call them. The item number is 1115629.

    My local Costco had about 6 cases on the floor this morning. They are now a case lighter and my Xmas shopping is nearly done. Thanks Brian for the heads up.

    Awesome man. It's good for sure. I had it on tap at FW Last Supper (along with X, XI XII, XIII... I guess I'm saying it in a braggartly way).

    Hit NorCal today, got a case of XX for $145, also got a case of '16 §ucaba for $100. I assume those are the normal prices for everywhere other than Costco.

    I think that's a just touch high tbh on Abacus. When I see prop series in VA at wegmans, they're $13.99 (1/pp usually). I want to say anniversary beers at Whole Foods are about $21.99, def over 20, haven't seen them at wegmans.

    Not to put you down, I would have bought both also. FW could get away with msrp 19.99/24.99 and most would still call them fair deals, I would at least. (Maybe not Merkin that would should be in 6x12 cans).

    They definitely aren't $13.99 around here for Sucaba, Parabola, etc.

    And the anniversary beers are $22.99 at Binny's, but Whole Foods charged $24.99. I still bought 5 at those prices.

    I'm in northern CA - SF Bay Area and besides Costco, Bevmo had XX for $24 and I see parabola and sucaba here for $16-$18. I was at the brewery several months back and they had Parabola, Sucaba, Velvet Merkin and Stickee Monkee for $16.99 along with imperial walkers reserve for $24 and rye DDBA $30.

    It seemed to hit all the Binny's and Whole Foods last Friday, but I never saw any of the independent bottle shops post anything about having it (it's possible they just didn't post about it because it went quickly).

    It has been on the IG accounts of The Beer Temple (today) and The Open Bottle last week. I think it's still trickling in. My Binny's hasn't had it yet

    Apologies if bumping old threads is frowned upon, but I was reading through the insert that FW includes with the anniversary ales, and notice that they described Stickee Monkee as an "English Barley Wine".

    Does anybody here know if this was this merely a mistake in the description, or if the beer in the blend actually Sucaba?
