    I've seen it on draft a few places, but so far I have not run into any bottles in the outer Bay Area mainly - but I have stopped at a few places in San Francisco and Oakland. Am I just missing it, or has not not hit the shelves yet?

    I got a 4 pack a week and change ago at The Willow Tree Market in Menlo Park. So they exist, you must just be missing it.

    Whole Foods in the city carries it. So does Berkeley Bowl. Call some of the bottle shops if you're going to be in town and see if they have any.

    I've also had good luck at smaller liquor stores that carry good beer - they usually get SN and will have Hoptimum.

    Whole Foods out in Lafayette and Walnut Creek hadn't got it yet, or Jacksons - As I said I only tried a couple of places inner East Bay (Star Grocery being one that I thought was a cert for stcok). I'm heading into Berkeley for a meeting tomorrow and will swing by Berkley Bowl. Thanks

    Healthy Spirits has had it for the past few weeks. I was there Saturday and they still had plentiful 4-packs in the cooler.

    Checked Ales Unlimited today - they definitely have it.

    Also went by Portrero Hill Whole Foods (off 16th.) They literally had 50 4-packs stacked in a big mountain in their beer section. It was awesome.

    Well I guess I haven't managed to stop in for the last two weeks, planing on changing that this weekend.

    I know I am going to run into mountains of this stuff this week after asking if it was around - works everytime!
