    Strange, we don't even have in in Portland yet. As for price, it is part of the brothers reserve series, so probably $12/22oz, give or take

    Would love to hear your take on it... I've seen it hanging out on the shelf but I'm rather apprehensive about Widmer's stuff.

    will do, maybe I will save one for a tasting, or a small get together of BAs.

    I know it's in California. My guess is it'll be everywhere that gets Widmer.

    No kidding? I could be wrong but I think I saw it at my local Fred Meyer in Vancouver.

    Also bought one in MN, $12.99. Wouldn't have done it, except that I've really been digging Widmer lately, & I'd never given them a passing thought before. Their O'Ryelly Ale was excellent, & I hope they brew it up again.

    Definitely in Texas for a couple weeks now maybe...haven't picked one up as I already have way too much beer and Widmer has left me wanting on several occasions. Think it's priced around $11-$12...

    In my opinion, Widmer has done a solid job of reinventing themselves. The Rotater Series has been real solid, and the Pitch Black is my favorite dark IPA that I have had. They are a lot more than the hefe brand.

    We had Sixtel of it on at our Thrillist Event with Widmer Brothers last night. One of the reps told us it was a New York exclusive. Everyone seemed to be loving it and it disappeared quickly. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted.

    Yeah, I really have to give them credit as well. Just a couple years ago I'd go to the taproom and think "man, is this it?" Now, I'll actually consider buying their beer. I've always thought the hefe was a decent session brew but the others were sort of behind the times. They seem to be kicking up their efforts.

    Bummer, I was hoping it would be in 12 oz. bottles.

    Does Widmer distribute to Michigan? It's an unfamiliar brand, and I can't quite find out on their website.
