    Pretty sure I saw a case sitting on the floor (so, just delivered) yesterday at Cranbury BuyRite, so it's in NJ (via statewide distributor Hunterdon).

    Yeah it's out, the only place I've seen it by the bottles around here was at Capone's. I'm sure other accounts are getting soon or have already received it.

    What's the opinion of people that have tasted this years beer? Supposedly less acetic than 2010, but is it actually more complex? How does it compare to Rapture?

    Pretty sure it was a brewery only release. Maybe some bottles wound up at places like Capone's in PA but I'm not sure

    Correct. It was brewery only. Weyerbacher did not send any out. If a bottle shop picked up a case and resold it, that's the only time you'd see it elsewhere.

    Found a bottle for $18.99. Anybody else who has seen this have a price check. Just checking to see if this is on the high end of what it's been going for.
    just an aside also found a bottle of Maharaja for $8.99 how's that for the going rate?

    thanks

    I think we got the same email...

    Riserva price at the brewery was $17 at release. Maharaja price is fair

    Supposed to be arriving in Howard county, MD tomorrow. I really enjoyed the uber sour 2010 (?) vintage. Most of my friends found it to be too much though. Hopefully this is a little more balanced, for their sake.
