    At least I haven't seen anything new in the last year in the Detroit Area. This is one of my favorites out there (and very underrated) and I know they had a 2011 vintage, but nothing. Still get all the other Fyling Dog stuff, but not this. Anyone have the scoop, or been able to get some? I frequent a variety of stores so though I would have seen it somewhere.

    FD has really cut back the special offerings to Michigan. Total bummer as I love BA Gonzo.

    Many of MI distributors tend to run around with their thumbs up their asses which happens to turn off a lot of out of state breweries.

    I could have sworn I saw two bottles of this at a gas station in Holly. Is it in 12oz?

    It was right next to the bottle of Black Ops that was going for $39.99 so I bought my redbull and walked out.

    That place is called Alex's and is a ripoff. Hence why two bottles of BA Gonzo were still there along with the Black Ops.

    Yeah, I stop there for gas a lot to and from work, their gas prices are reasonable. I go in everytime, thinking just maybe i'll find something they forgot to mark up.

    What did they want for to gonzo ? 20 bucks?
    That place is literally on my way home and I drive out of my way to avoid it. Yes for whatever reason if they have a beer that is any way limited they think its gold. That bottle of Black Ops has been there for a while now.

    Its been a while since I've been in there but they should still have a case or so of Liberator because they want 20 a six pack for it. I saw 2 bottles of DFH 120 minute in there for 20 dollars each and they got KBS and wanted 20 a piece for those as well. That was pretty much the end of my patronage there. They can take advantage of someone else and I will continue to tell others to avoid it as well.

    So yeah, looking for it at a reasonable price. I think they usually go for around $7/12oz.

    That's a shame, there's plenty on the shelf in Chicago (or was recently). Honestly it's too oaky for my taste anyway...

    They have a large bottle of BA 12 Dogs of Christmas that I would love to scoop up but there's no way I'm shelling out the $100 asking price.

    Pretty sure the bottles are Gonzo were $7-8 there.
