    Sierra's site says it's available all over the St. Louis area. It didn't say it last week. Hoping it's right.

    What a shitty name for a brewery. I would have went with something much cooler....like Narwhal

    I almost bought one of those from TW b/c I knew Norm's in Vienna had 2013 Narwhal, so I figured what TW had on display was 2013. However, upon further investigation I noticed they were 2012.

    I don't know if I made the right call by not picking up the 2012. Has anyone had both 2012 & 2013 for comparison? Or at the very least, does the 2012 age well?

    I have a few RIS in my cellar, so if Narwhal isn't anything special I don't know if I'll pick it up.
