    Wait, y'all still got bottles? It was here and gone instantly up here in the boonies.

    I've seen Jane's Beer Store in Mountainview hold back limited Fremont stuff for special events. Not sure about BxK bottles though. Happy hunting.

    Grabbed the last bottle of 4K from my local in Southern California in January. Last I checked they had a lot of B-Bomb and BADS but no 5K yet.

    Last "new" Fremont bottle I saw was B-Bomb Cinnamon Coconut, which is an insanely delicious beer. This is one for the ages for fans of coconut.

    That said, eagerly waiting on 5K, but no-go. No distro.

    4K long sold out. I really liked this one alot, and wish I had bought another bottle. Now that I know that we won't see 5K in Nor Cal, I regret it even more.

    Maybe no distro to CA, but it did see distro in WA and OR.

    And Colorado (I think it was @SFACRKnight mentioned he saw it in Denver) so it did get out of the NW.

    I was afraid that was the case. Tears 5000 for those hoping for CA distro. I’m tempted to dip my toes back into trading for B5K.

    Yes. Even at places that I never would have expected to even see them (NW Growlers, Capitol Hiway Deli, etc.).

    The grocery store by my house in Seattle still has bottles of B5K.

    Has anyone cracked a B5K yet? I’m sure it’s delicious but I’m curious what people think of it.

    I’ve found a couple spots in Long Beach that had B-Bomb and BA Dark Star variants so I’m hopeful I can find a B5K.

    Yeah, I cracked one with a buddy who didn't get one a few weeks ago. It's sweeter than in the past, noticeably so, but still damn tasty.

    B5K is on sale at my neighborhood grocery store. Discounted down to $26 from the initial $30 price tag.

    Still plenty of B5k here in PDX as well (though as far as I know, no one is offering a discount on it yet - it's not KBS after all!). Also, Arch Bridge currently has it on tap.

    NW Growlers still has a shelf full of bottles.

    Flew from Detroit to Seattle on Alaskan a few days ago and ordered an IPA on the plane. Was pleased to be handed a Lush IPA, and less than a month old. A very nice surprise.

    Having my first Brew 5k and this is awesome. Picked up 2 when I was out in Colorado. Not a huge fan of fremonts stouts but huge fan of this.

    Here's to hoping it somehow survives until my trip up there in a couple weeks.

    Although, I just realized your post is already over a month old....
