    I was wrong... Looks like it hit PDX 6 days ago.

    Gotta love living in Spokane. I got a couple bottles today pretty easily.

    Chance? Yes. But it will likely take a considerable hunt and probably an element of luck.

    Unless things have changed since last year, I think most (if not all) places that received RN, only got a single case. Pretty much any place that put it out on the shelf, likely sold out within a few hours. Some places (I think pretty much all of the Market of Choice stores that received allocation for example), did not put it out on the floor. You had to ask if it was available, and then typically you would be allowed to buy a single bottle. Some of those stores MAY still have it available. However, I can't point you to a specific store, as to be honest, if I knew of a store that still had bottles available, I would have already grabbed them myself.


    Good luck!

    :slight_frown: Seriously? This is the 2nd year in a row? I just figured the reason I couldn't find any last year in my state (or at all, without a serious hunt...really lucked out with that Spokane Growler Guys pour!) was because of relative scarcity. Fremont has dealt with these conflicts n the past by changing the name. And I'm quite sure I read somewhere that RN was getting "full distribution" this year...

    Welp, guess it's back to putting a couple hundred more miles on my car and praying I get lucky, like the good ol' days. :rolling_eyes:

    @Texwild any chance the tri-cities will get some? I've checked the usual suspects around town. Nothing yet. However, bottles of BBDS have reappeared (consolation prize? A nice one I admit).

    dont bother with any of the known bottle shops. a random Whole Foods, MofC, or maybe a shop on the outskirts (arch bridge??) may still have some.

    good news is that if you strike out, there are still some awesome beers sitting on shelves all over town. just picked up a Parabola from New Seasons in SW PDX

    Arch Bridge is unlikely. I think last year they sold out of it the day they got it in. As a result, I didn't even bother to check to see if they still had some.

    I called them later on the night they got it in, and it was already gone.

    It'll be on tap this weekend at the Washington Brewers Festival.

    Saturday at 3pm and I think maybe again Sunday.

    There were exactly 6 sitting low-key on the shelf at Hollywood Bev in PDX just a few hours ago.

    There are a couple bottles left at a taproom/bottle shop within shouting distance of Providence Park.

    Sorry to report, but we are now sold out on Rusty.

    But the good news - keep a watch for a Fremont IPA Collaboration with 10 of my fellow bottle shops. It'll be called Instant Karma- 16oz 4 pack cans and draft will be hitting our shelves and the other stores (see list below) hopefully late next week. Stay tuned!
