    So we won't be getting the 12 pack here?

    We will definitely be getting it according to their FAQs....

    OK, I’m bananas over this 12-pack. Where do I find it?
    We’re sending the 12-packs nationwide through our 50-state distribution network, so chances are you’ll come across it at craft-centric stores and some grocery outlets, albeit for a very brief period of time. Your best bet is to call ahead to your favorite shops and ask if they plan to stock the 12-packs. Then set up your tent outside their doors. No, don’t do that. This isn’t Black Friday.

    If you're asking about the tour, as posted above it is not coming here. The 12-packs will be, though, and they look pretty wonderful!

    Sorry folks, I was referring to the 12 packs not the tour. Hope to see it soon!

    Allocation. Very interesting. I thought that the 4 IPA thing was also supposed to be very limited and now you can buy it at a discount at Sam's Club.

    Wait... Are you really comparing the longevity of the allocation of POINT'S IPA 4 pack to the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp? Is this real life?

    I think they are debuting these in a big deal at three squares in Maple Grove this week some time...sounds like they'll have a band playing for the festivities.....not sure if they will have them on draft or in bottles though...didn't check as i won't be in town..

    The 4 Way IPA pack he was referring to was a Sierra Nevada product. With Blindfold IPA, Torpedo, Nooner and Snow Wit.

    Certainly the allocation of Beer camp will be less than that of the four way IPA packs. However, if someone is unaware of this, sharing this observation doesn't seem like a stretch. Fact-finding, sharing of information, and even speculation is what makes this forum fun.

    Even the Sierra Nevada 4 IPA pack is not nearly on the same level as the Beer Camp one. With such low allocation, it is HIGHLY unlikely Beer Camp will ever be around long enough anywhere to sit on the shelf and get discounted.

    Beer Camp came in to Princeton's 30 min ago. I tell you all this only because I can't get there in time...

    I picked up a 12 pack at liquor barrel. Happened to walk in at the right time of the day. They only got 10 12pks in, so it looks like this is going to be fairly limited. Expect to pay around $25 (well worth it for what's all in it imo).
