    Wasn't this supposed to become a year-round offering? According to the SA website, it was supposed to be available year round beginning March of this year. Despite this, I have yet to see it aside from it being in the summer mix pack. Anyone know anything about this? This is one of my favorite Sam Adams offerings—I want to drink it this summer!

    I've been able to find it in all the bottle shops and a good amount of supermarkets around me, for the past couple months. Maybe try talking your local bottle shops beer guy, or call up the SA distro in your area.

    I live in WA and it wasn't around me until May even though it was year round in March. Check with your local stores and ask if they will get it in.

    It recently started showing up more in the north-eastern area of Illinois. Slowly, but surely.

    Don't forget that, other than the mixed summer pack, it's six-packs only.

    Thanks for the responses. I'll have to expand my search, but it is good to hear that it has been showing up in at least some places.

    I spotted this for the first time this year in a Wal-Mart in Greensburg, Indiana. I think it was $8.49 a 6'er

    I agree with the OP 100%. Love this beer but now that it's a "year rounder" I never see it. Sounds like it's showing up in the mid-west, but not one state away from where it is brewed. Ouch.

    Not that one's geographical location compared to the brewery's is usually the primary factor in beer availability or distribution, but BBC's Samuel Adams' beers are brewed and bottled in Cincinnati OH and outside Allentown, PA.

    The webpage in the OP has a zip code based Beer Finder "Locate It" application. They usually work for BBC's beers when I'm looking for them- are they not accurate in other regions?

    Didn't know that it was brewed in Cincy/Allentown, thanks for the info.

    SA distribution, unlike Sierra Nevada, usually moves into most markets at roughly the same time (of course I could very well be wrong, but it seems this way). I'm surprised that you haven't seen it. That said, I haven't seen it in 12 packs, like others have mentioned, and was under the impression it would be sixers only. That said too, I've been through 2 sixers and I,m no longer a believer that its that great. I'm enjoying Summerfest more, as an American option.

    My grocery stores have it, and the specialty stores. Sorry don't know why you're being shorted.

    I know here in Central NC, they (SN and SA) use the same distributor, which probably explains why they enter at the same time.
