    I think they stopped distributing to Michigan in 2010. That being said, I think I've seen a few places with their IPAs still on the shelf.

    Ya Meijer is weird like that. The one by my house has a good selection of craft. Yet I drive down the street to a different one and almost totally different stock. Same at other ones I've seen...

    Great Divide was in MI at least as late as 2011. That was when I started exploring craft beyond the standard Bell's and SN fare. Yeti (the newer label) was one of my first bomber purchases.

    EDIT: Sorry Jon, did not see your post before I submitted mine.

    Yeah, I've run across a place near a Ford plant that has bottles of Great Divide that has been sitting. Also some BrewDog stuff that was dated 9/9/09, if I recall correctly. Odds are most of that stuff you're seeing are 2010, like the other comments mention.

    Nice, so the place that I previously mentioned I used to buy GD from is at 16/Groesbeck; Parkway Beverage.

    Yep, definitely a great spot! I still stop by from time to time when I'm over on that side of town.

    Napa Valley on Mound Rd. & 15 mile is also very nice. Not as big as Parkway but still very nice selection. Check it out when you can.

    Well since others have seen these laying around still, and now knowing that they can't be too OLD. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out and pick up what I can. Especially checking out little hole in the walls particularly. Thanks everybody for their input.
    Drink Pure Michigan,
    Cheers!
