    Looks like it hit PDX - Belmont and Tin Bucket have it.

    Good to know. Maybe I'll luck out and happen upon it in town.

    Heard that Tin Bucket is already sold out, and would assume at this point it's gone at Belmont Station as well. My local MofC didn't have any when I stopped by today (the one on SW Terwilleger), but from past experience, I would have been surprised if they did (though they did still have bottles of HOTD maja and Apothecary La Tache and Sahalie for $29.99).

    Wife is in Seattle for the day, does it look like Rusty is still at the UBG?

    I know they still had bottles yesterday around 1pm. Haven't heard any updates since then.

    Picked up 2 bottles last night around 6:30. Seems to be plenty. Thanks to Fremont for having so many available as I was in California during the release.

    I really don't expect to see this hit distro in Salem, but does anybody else that's around Salem know why we don't seem to see Fremont at all? I've never seen any of their beer on tap around town at all, and I only know of one store that got bombers one time.

    I would check Liquor Outlet. I have no idea if they are getting any Rusty, but they typically have some Fremont offerings.

    Really? I'd never seen any there, but I stopped going in last year.

    If anybody sees a Tri-Cities drop, please hit me up... I'd be willing to make the drive.

    Thanks, Toby.

    I believe it is a relatively recent thing. I don't recall seeing any there before a few months ago. The last few times I've been in I've seen the typical Fremont lineup (they had Lush a little while back as well).

    That would make sense. That's around the first time I saw them at Capitol Market too, but I believe that was the only time and most of it is still sitting there.

    Got lucky and scored a bottle at Bier Stien in Eugene on Friday, so im guessing its popping up around PDX now or very soon. 2 bottle limit but I only bought one. share the luck! Still have one of my 2016, very much looking forward to trying it with 1 year of age on it.

    I think a lot of places here in town got their allocation this past Monday or Tuesday. A few places like John's, didn't get their allocation until Thursday (was told it sold out within an hour of hitting the shelf). I think most places are limiting purchases to a single bottle. Even Market of Choice has a one bottle limit, and this year they haven't put any bottles out on the shelf (you have to ask for it).

    I only got a single bottle myself. Would have liked to pick up a couple more, but I guess I'll have to make due with one. My wife volunteered to mule for me, in case I wanted more than a single bottle, but I thought that might be stretching our marriage vows a bit too far. :-)

    If I had a do-over, I would include some mention of my beer idiosyncrasies in our wedding vows, and would not hesitate to play that trump card whenever the situation called for it.

    On tap at the Red Hot at the moment.

    Little spendy (with tax, in the $13.75 range for a 10.5 ounce glass), but damn if isn't tasty this year. Might prefer it to last year's version, which is saying a lot.

    So, no Idaho sightings yet, and I just got this message from our local co-op's beer buyer:

    "Just found out that we will not be receiving any Rusty Nail. Crooked Fence Brewing in Boise is stopping them from selling it in Idaho because they have a beer with the same name."

    A whole state screwed again because of lawyer-eze. :slight_frown: And things had been going so well here recently when it came to Fremont releases...

    Help us, Obi-wan @Texwild...you're our only hope.

    Just found out I'll be able to buy a handful of bottles in leisurely fashion if I want. I guess I'll give this *yawn* year's version a sniff.

    This happened last year too. At least in Boise, can't speak for up north. Sucks considering I haven't bought a single Crooked Fence beer in at least 2 years.

    Any chance Rusty Nail will still be available in PDX tomorrow?
