    De Dolle Oerbier Reserva is one of my favorite beers, but I'm having trouble finding a release schedule for it. Is it released every year? If so, what month and when can we expect find it in stores in USA (specifically California)?

    @Vav maybe be able to shed some light on general US distro, since I purchased the most recent release at his store months ago. Unfortunately Indiana hasn't gotten any in at least three years (we only got three cases total of SNR).

    Yes, it is released every year. I typically start seeing it in late Winter/early Spring. Can't speak to when it hits CA, but I would imagine it reaches everywhere at roughly the same time.

    It's got a window, which is usually between Sept and March. Otherwise, it's ready when it's ready.

    I got some this year at the beginning of the year, if that helps.

    Does anybody know when it is actually bottled and released? Because then I could plan to buy it online straight from Belgium.

    Online retailers don't always offer things on their release. I frequently see them hold beers like this back until after they've come and gone in the states, probably as a way to get more money for them.

    It varies from year to year, but it's typically released in Belgium in late October and makes it over to the states in December sometime, subject to typical variation. It's not quite every year -- there was no release in 2005 (would have been a 2004 vintage date) when the Dulle Teve Reserva came out and no release in 2012 (would have been a 2011 vintage date) when the most recent Stille Nacht Reserva came out.
