    Any idea if this will make it to SA?

    And how much do these usually run?

    Me too. Maybe 008? They've got vanilla bean in something there, right?

    006 was about $14 at Kroger, but even at that price point I'll still buy a few, because it's local and that damn good.

    $15 is a good avg price for this beer. With that said, I'm hoping to score a couple of bottles myself.

    We can only hope. I would like to see an Espresso Hellfighter.

    A man can dream though right.

    But yeah they definitely have something in there with vanilla beans. God only knows what that is.


    I know most of these F.U.N. releases always ring 13.99 at both Kroger and HEB, with tax added you are looking at close to $15 dollars a bottle. I'm sure you guys in SA will get some, you also need to factor in transportation costs from Houston. So you are probably looking at 16 bucks a bottle over there.

    Well worth it though imo, I'll probably snag 3 bottles of 007 and watch some Bond while sipping on one.

    Only time will tell. I mean, they've only been open for what 2yrs? and already have multiple BBA offerings. In due time I believe we'll see some coffee and vanilla stuff. I hope.

    Most definitely man, they are definitely doing quite a bit. I'm sure they might have some awesome experiments in those barrels.

    I loved that stuff. I'm still kicking myself for only grabbing 2 bottles with a whole case on the shelf.

    Soooo how many people are going to complain about hunting another beer, complain about how certain stores release this, complain that it is not as good as before, but still...STILL go all over Houston to grab as much as possible?

    at the beginning of next year, they're gonna release both bourbon and wine barrel bodacious...

    this is what i was told at the brewery a few weeks ago. (hope its true!)

    wish they'd bottled the pro-am tripel. it was pretty tasty.

    has anyone heard any information on how long this one was in the barrels?

    003 was 5 months, and 005 was three months... right? Or was it the other way around.

    makes me feel silly for shipping off the bottle that was in my fridge for someone who did me a favor... guess i'll have to go grab another from the cellar...

    on a separate note - anyone had an 003 lately? I've still got 2 on stash, wondering if anyone's tried one lately and knows how their aging...
