    I've seen samaels, mephistopheles, and beast but haven't seen the rump. Anyone seen it or know if it will make its way to NYC?

    I asked one of the guys at a LI store that carries Avery and he said that one doesnt make it out here. I would assume if its not making it to LI, its not making it to NYC either.

    At best a few places may have it on draft. Good Life in Massapequa Park had it a couple weeks ago.

    Damn, can't believe I missed it. Then again I'm not a huge fan of paying like $11 a beer...

    It was $9 for about an 8oz pour. The novelty of it was great but I found it with more rum notes than pumpkin. I think the only reason good Life had it was because it was to be released last year when Hurricane Sandy struck, and they held it back for a year.

    Found it for $12 or $13 a bottle in the burbs of MA this weekend, so that sounds about right.

    I'd go there so much more if it wasn't for the pricing...

    Beermenus lists Astoria Beer and Cheese as $15.99. Chris, did you see it in the store for that price?

    It hit Good Beer last night, according to their Facebook. My friend went and told me he bought one for $16.

    Confirming the Good Beer sighting. Just picked one up for $15.99, they also have Old Jubilation at a fraction of that price...
