    It's been on tap at plenty of places in nyc so far. Pony Bar, Rye House, Dive Bar, 4th Ave Pub (Brooklyn)...etc. Looks like the only place that still has it on tap right now is Rye House though

    It's been all over Georgia, bars and growler fill stations. It's seriously delicious. Much, much better than regular Sofie. Well done, GI.

    Saw this on tap yesterday at Steam Haus Gastropub in Corona, CA and didn't try it. Wish I would've seem this thread beforehand!

    All you southern California Sofie fans, get over there!

    Had this the other day at my local bottle shop. Tasted like a perfect blend of saison and sour. So refreshing. So flavorful. So delicious.

    There will be plenty more tappings of Paradisi. You shouldn't have a problem finding it

    Had it on tap at JL Beers in Grand Forks, ND this past week. Very good beer, but not necessarily my style.

    Have there been any sightings of this on draft anywhere in Michigan?

    Had it at Pinocchio's in Media DelCo two weeks ago quite good and drinkable as well as refreshing.

    I hope Naja's Place has Sofie Paradisi on deck for the GI takeover.

    Judging from the comments in this thread, I am seriously disgusted with InBev and how they managed to ruin a craft beer legend.

    FYI, Acre on clark street will probably still have Sofie Paradisi tomorrow. They still had a lot left tonight when they closed.

    Had a glass (10 oz) at Whole Foods (Plymouth Mtg, PA) yesterday. Really nice. I'm not sure if grapefruit juice is just added or if it's brewed w/ grapefruit juice. Either way nice job.

    I've had this twice and it seemed like an incomplete beer to me. It has the brett character of an aged Sofie, and some pleasant grapefruit aromatics, but the taste is just replaced with a really stale cardboardish 2x4'ish barrel flavor.

    I think I'd rather have a normal Sofie hands down.

    Any sightings of this in CT? I know we got BCBS and the variants considerably later than NY/MA, so I'm still holding out hope for this one. Sounds like it would be up my alley.

    I had it at Spitzer's in Lower East Side, in NYC. My favorite saison so far.

    Had some of this at the Hackney's on Printer's Row this past weekend. I found it to be surprisingly very sweet. It had a lot of sourness and citrus fruit on the nose, but the palate came across unusually sweet.
