    I'm fortunate to know someone. Not sure how much I'll get but I'd say at least a 4 pack. I'll take what he gives me but I won't run around.

    Went from two bottle limit to one bottle limit and you had to by something else from Founders. One place made you spend $25 in the store for the privilege of purchasing a bottle, I passed. Getting ridiculous on LI.

    I don't know where he is in SC, but it's gone in a heartbeat in the. Myrtle area.

    A couple of stores will get one bottle limits. I got three last year, wasn't worth the effort.

    I have only been fortunate enough to have some at a couple bottle shares since it sells out so fast. Good thing I was able to score a ticket to the Saturday release this year. :wink:

    This. Someone somewhere else said something like it doesn't land here, it hovers for a second and disappears. I feel like it's a lot easier to find on tap and enjoy that way, but bottles are tougher to get than BCBS or other such releases.

    i called the grocery stores and to see if they would hold some for me. I like to call big stores because they typically charge at cost, none of this crazy upcharge the small places do.

    Same here. I'd love to get a hold of a few (I only need two.......) but I'm not going to swim through a sea of beard and mule sweat trying to do so. I may have to look forward to a pull of it somewhere instead of a few bottles.

    yeah it has gotten terrible in central nj. love the beer but its becoming not worth it to drive to five different stores and get 4 bottles. if you have a non stroking off relationship with a store manager then you may get 2-4 bottles in one stop.

    It's annoying in Indiana. Two or one bottle per person everywhere.

    No I would think they get it but you have to be one of those truck chasers or lucky enough to know people who will hold a few

    I guaranteed myself a four pack and I might be able to score another. So if anyone is looking for a trading partner....

    In years past, I had to tell my local store that it was coming so he could order it. He's gotten a single case the past few years. If I'm lucky, I'd get a couple four packs. Lately he seems to be hittin his inventory and I think he might have pissed off more than a dist. rep or two. If he gets anything (he said he couldnt get FIS) I think I'll be lucky to get any this year. Frankly, I'm pretty okay with that at this point. Im just not into working all that hard for it.
