    Where did you find these (what part of the country) and, if not Wisconsin, are they/will they be available in Wisconsin?

    SN Gift Shop.

    But the reason I said that it was "on shelves" is because they usually ship big releases out of Chico before they throw it in the giftshop.

    I'll have to keep my eyes peeled I guess. I'd really like to get my hands on that. Believe it or not, I just started drinking Sierra Nevada. I've been drinking craft beer for four years and just now caught on to how consistent their beer is. I'm currently enjoying the excellent 2012 Bigfoot (which I cannot wait to drink in a year+ after it's been aged).

    From the bottle:

    Front label: "...this remarkable ale is the only one of its kind."
    Back label: "...and one of the few estate-made ales produced anywhere in the world!"

    Get your stories straight, SN!

    Drinking right now. Beautiful clear dark golden color. Nice and hoppy. Like a muted Hoptimum. Can't smell so good, so you'll have to judge that for yourself!
