    Was wondering when we'd see this in Minnesota.

    I've seen on the Iowa distro thread that they got it last week. Some seem to be unhappy with the pricing.

    I was following this one a bit in the Pacific threads. It sounds like people are really dissapointed in this beer, and it is not even close to what it once was. I'm sure it's still good, but $20+ good? I don't know. Currently it is at a 4.02 on Untappd, which by no means indicates a bad beer, but a bit off from what I would want to see for the price.

    I typed in "silva stout" and it's the first of only two search results to come up on here. Has over 800 ratings.

    $20+ for Silva? Wow. Is it still in 12 oz bottles or did they move it into bomber format? Certainly hope so at that price point.

    For future reference, there's a search function on Twitter.
    Look for the magnifying glass and enter your key words.
    Works like a charm!

    This makes me sad, if true. I spent a week in San Diego on a beercation a couple years ago, and Silva was probably my favorite of the ~100 different beers I tried. Was super excited to see this hit local distro, and bought two yesterday...

    I say wait for Jim to follow you, then follow him back. Easy-peasy.

    I was reading a few people from San Diego say that is the 100% BA version blended with Mostra coffee and they thought it was awesome. Available on draft at the release apparently.

    They said it made the version that was bottled (55% BA, no coffee) that much more of a let down.

    Probably right as the bottle at retail says nothing of the Mostra coffee on the label the person that added this to the data base did copy most of what is on the current label in the comments

    False, it was one store that gouged. We otherwise paid $18~ which I was relatively okay with given expectations surrounding the beer's quality and pricing of SN's barrel aged 750s.

    Where did you get the 55% BA info from?

    My bottle says it was aged for 18 months in American Oak Bourbon Barrels with 10 gallons per barrel of Fresh in the Blend.
    Wouldn't that make this >80% BA?
