    This one has started hitting Chicagoland shelves. Really hoping to get a hold of it.

    In typical fashion, Binny's on Grand tweeted they had it after I walked out of the store and was already at work.

    With there being only 2,500 bottles available, it seems like its being spread pretty thin.

    Grabbed mine at 10:30 yesterday. Seems as if not all the Binnys got them in.

    Has anyone actually had this yet or is everyone just super swept up in the hype?

    I split mine with a buddy and we both loved it.

    Drank mine yesterday. Very light a little tart easy drinking. I liked it a lot. If you're expecting a big sour beer, you will be disappointed. If your looking for a well made farmhouse beer you'll love it.

    Lakeview Binny's just got a bunch today. Good amount in the cooler and on the shelf. No limit (but please share).

    Plainfield Binnys had it and sold it with in a few hours. For those that have had it would you drink it fresh or hold on to it for a bit?

    I think that it tastes great right now. Not really sure what age would do to it.

    I'm hearing the opposite, that time will do this a favor. That's a lot coming from me that believes 98% of beer is best consumed fresh.

    Was shocked to see this on the shelf at LP Binny's yesterday with no bottle limit (granted, only a few bottles left). Figured this would have been sought after and gone a week ago. Go figure. Might sit on the bottle for a little while but excited to try.

    A word to the cellar junkies: be careful with the crown on your bottle. The one on mine is not capped level. I would think that the larger diameter crowns were used for these 750s but mine has the look of a homebrew bottle that was poorly capped by hand.

    I had the same issue. Figured it was a random mishap but guess not. A bit disappointing.
