    Fremont Brew 5000 (already! Yikes, good for them) went on sale on-line a couple days ago, but with a 2 per address limit, so my friend couldn't get me any. Magnums sold out instantly at (IIRC) $135. I'll be waiting to catch it in distro. Anybody score some?

    Wow! Wasn't the release yesterday?

    I went on their website yesterday and had no luck either. Hoping for the best, but it was extremely difficult obtaining the B4K last year.

    Uh, @John_M , can you change the title to 2021? I am, as usual, an idiot.

    Yeah, yesterday. Days have been blending together for the past year.

    Once it hit distro, I had no trouble getting a few bottle of B4K, enough that I even sent them out in BIF boxes.

    I got a magnum and 2 bottles. I sent my order in for the magnum at probably 12:00.30 and after I got my order confirmation, went back at it was sold out at 12:00.50. I got two bottles at 2:03 so those stayed around a little longer. They have confirmed distro for the 22oz bottles.

    Exactly! My normal shop just keeps stuff like this in the back and doesn't really even let people know about it, even the regulars, you gotta just ask and hope that not too many people have asked before you!

    For PDXers, Cheap Charlies out in Gresham is saying on Facebook they're getting it next Tuesday. I'm guessing if they're getting some then the usual suspects in the area should be getting drops as well.

    One of my favorite releases of the year and a beer I try to track down each time. Such an outstanding beer. Been on a win streak since 2K.

    What was the price of bottles from the brewery? I didn’t see it in the Instagram posts, just the limit. Thanks!

    John's on Powell has Brew 5000 right now for those interested. They had a decent amount but they're right up front so they might not be around long.

    That's not bad for John's. They pride themselves on having the highest bottle prices in town when it comes to limited, BA stuff.

    LOL!!! I was thinking about Apex when I posted my comment. I know they have beer to go (at predictable Apex prices), but I don't really think of them as a retail outlet for bottles.

    You're right though. I definitely should have done a better job qualifying my observation.
