    I think it's out of the brewer's hands at the retail level. They obviously got it to distributors already so now it's down to the distributor and retailer working out delivery

    Agreed, but the distributor would be somewhat local so I would think that the closest retailers get stock first, right?

    That's too logical, distributors seem to work under some different procedures that none of us understand. :wink:

    I think that very few, if any, retailers prioritize beer freshness above all other considerations. Most retailers probably just have a single shelf slot/sku for any given brewers seasonal so they won't order/ put out Celebration until the oktoberfest is depleted

    One of my all time favorites and one of the only beers that I must revisit ever release.

    Also remains probably the single easiest drinking double digit ABV beer I’ve ever had.

    My local had literally two pallets this afternoon when I visited here in Northern Indiana.

    And two 6ers of Born Yesterday.

    I’m enjoying a couple of bottles of Born Yesterday this evening, but the Hopslam shall be mine tomorrow. Can. Not. Wait.

    I'll jot this down on my May calendar, when it usually shows up here.

    I just ordered a 6-pack at the Northgate (Seattle) Total Wine. So the answer is yes. $20 seems a bit steep but worth it to try it one more time (or six).

    You can use Bell’s Beer Finder if you’re interested to see if it’s anywhere near you.
