    Anyone know when this will hit distro here in Seattle? It's been too long since I've had this beer and need a fix soon.

    Local alehouse here is Spokane just got a keg so I imagine Seattle will get it.

    We'll get it, I'm just impatient. This is one of my favorite beers of all time. I need it in my veins now.

    Yeah, misread your post. Read "if" instead of "when" for some reason.

    buddy of mine got two growlers of it for $15 each. Every so often, I'm really pleased to live in Spokane.

    Anyone see this around Seattle yet, or know when it's supposed to hit?

    It's on tap at Brouwers and on-deck at Uber, but I haven't seen any bottles in North Seattle.

    It's at JB's in Spokane if anyone cares. 7.99 per bottle. I picked up 4, but there was lots left.

    $7.99? I remember it being $15 last time.

    I think I paid around 8 last time, but I'm not sure. It was 3 years ago now. Either way, I was a little suprised at the price as well, because La Folie goes for 12 here and Le Terroir is so much better.

    They goofed on the UPC this year and accidentally priced it like their lower tier beers. It is supposed to be much higher priced!

    Beer Junction got it on Saturday, but haven't heard of anyone else yet.

    Really wish shops would start using more friendly websites. I'm guessing Beer Junction adds that to their stock on the computers, why not automatically update the website with added stock?

    They're actually one of the better stores in this regard. They don't update the site, but they send out a weekly email (every Thursday generally) with a list of new deliveries—although Le Terroir wasn't on the last email. I think they update their facebook even more regularly, but I don't facebook so not totally sure about that.

    Belmont Station sets the gold standard in terms of maintaining a real-time inventory on their website. I wish a shop in Seattle would do that.

    It was on Facebook and Twitter. Works for me.

    Hi all-- we do have plenty of the Le Terroir in stock currently. We update our website weekly with all the new arrivals.

    http://www.thebeerjunction.com/#New_Arrivals

    That generally occurs on Thursday when we send our weekly newsletter out. We got the Terroir in on Friday so that's why it isn't up on the website yet. With so many new arrivals each week we've found the once a week post has the most organized and easy to follow look to it (rather than having a post each day). We do post real time updates on FB and Twitter as well.

    We're always looking to improve though on getting info out in an organized and timely fashion, so I'm sure we'll keep tweaking our method for the better in the future.

    Cheers!
