    Tomorrow is the official release. Sightings and prices please...

    I'm scared to see what insane gouging and games we will see in CT. The BCBS release was an all new low.

    Happy Hunting!

    Harvest posted that they have it in today.

    On facebook they told me I'd find out what the limits are when I come in the store. Except no I won't because what's the big deal about posting the limits online?.

    I still enjoy this beer. Maybe it is because is one of the first one-off releases I ever chased. The same goes for DFH 120 minute. Put in a vacuum, I'm not sure I'd select either one in a taste test, but it does bring back some fond memories.

    called one store...asked if it was is in...they said yes...went and asked for...they handed me a 4-pack...walked up to register only to be told "we can't sell that until tomorrow. i'm sorry!" well, at least they're honoring founders wishes.

    Looks like all of the HDI distro went out today, but many places are holding onto it until the official release day tomorrow. Going to be a sh!tshow in CT.

    if my caLCulations are right, compared to last year case price went up by about $16 (to retailer), while $5-$6 would be great it'll probably be $7+ or $25 4pk at most store in CT

    Nikki's has a one limit on everything that's any good. I mean a one limit on Lunch? Really? So annoying.

    Annoying to you, lucky for the person who shows up a few hours later and gets a Lunch because people can't buy 3-4 at a time. I think Nikki's does a great job dealing with this sort of thing.
