    Went Saturday morning to Specs on Smith.. was on a mission for a couple of beers. Ryan, the guy working beer, noticed my frustration of not finding what I wanted.. in return after talking for a little bit he made my inconvenience and travels worth it. He hooked me up with 2 2012 Uncle Jacob 12oz bottles.

    Goes to show that there are still genuine people out there. Thanks Ryan!

    Just to make sure I dont procure a mass hysteria at Specs in the morning.. this was from a personal stash, not at the physical location.

    Anybody in Houston with 2 extra Uncle Jacobs? I would trade 2 bottles of Ross's's Melange in person.

    It taste more like champagne than beer to me, give the avery bugs some time(one, two, three, four, five years) and it will change you can count on it. Give it to a wine drinker right now and you will blow their minds that this is a beer.

    You need to shotgun them both immediately and then video the results just because...

    Heard Total Wine in Dallas got one case in, not sure what is left, so you should call before you go.

    Total wine had a few left. Just picked up two. Specs should have them after lunch. He was in the parking lot of Specs as I left
