    Anyone had this?

    @chukhell posted on Twitter that WFM Austin has it. Joey said Houston gets it in Feb.

    Maybe we'll finally get a decent "Berliner" even though it's a blend of soured and noon soured wheat beer. It's supposed to be year round from what I've read.

    I talked to a Houston Faust sales rep yesterday. They got a small amount of it, but none of the Spec's bought it, so I'm not sure where you'd get it.
    Early Feb sounds about right though, to see it next to the other New Belgium stuff daily.

    Btw, Saint Arnold is releasing a year-round Berliner in 22oz bottles in the coming months... Should be interesting.

    Was the Boiler Room confirmed as a regular release?

    Slight correction, @Chuk_Hell works at Central Market, not Whole Foods.

    Snapshot is a new year-rounder for New Belgium. We should begin to see it everywhere next month.

    This is barely tart and is nothing like a Berliner.

    They had bottles of Snapshot at the Yaga's beer fest in Galveston last weekend. My wife asked about it since we hadn't seen it before, and the New Beligium rep said it would be coming to stores in a few weeks.

    A group of us talked to Brock last week about this. It will not be a year round or any type of regular release.

    Brock was the guy that did that to us. I guess I'm just the guy that's letting you know what that piss punch tastes like.

    Sorry for the misinformation, I heard wrong, apparently.

    It's not bad, but not even close to a Berliner style as I was lead to believe (some how)

    I had it at Hay Merchant last week. Its more of a light hoppy wheat beer and it will be great for the summer. Not sour whatsoever.

    I drank a pint at Hay Merchant. Reminded me ever so slightly of a Berliner but heavy on the wheat mouthfeel and only a tiny bit tart.
