I can't find it anywhere. I have to ask my guy to see if he can order some.

The 2 top triples are Karmeliet and Westmalle. So he should be selling both.

Rochefort could be more difficult.

You and I seem to have the same tastes. I posted this one a while back you should like as well and probably just as hard to find (though Flushing Jet had a 4-pack so I'm sure you can find it somewhere).

If you can find a Bistro 55 anywhere they have awesome beers on tap every week.

I found Maredsous at Wine Country on Rt. US 46 in Clifton NJ, but I saw a better selection of it at Wegman's in Malvern PA the other day.

I found it a little too spicy-clove flavored but that was the Tripel. I bet I'd like the Blonde.

I gave the other 3 of the 4 pack to co-workers, one downed 2 in about 10 minutes he didn't realize how strong they were

Yeah, you can get a buzz pretty quick.

Really outstanding and worthy of all the buzz. Not the tropical juice hops of Heady Topper, but a true hop head might prefer this one. Nicely balanced and fresh. I was concerned about it spending a week on a Fed Ex truck but it tastes like it came right out of a fresh tap. Well done Russian River Brewing.

I'll be up in Healdsburg this weekend for Mum in Law Day. I will surround myself with Pliny swag and place the photo on JI in a Stokes-ian fashion, to generate envy!

You will envy!

I must break you.

I'm finding that f*cking beer and I'm going to out-Stokes you.

You will be disappoint.

Edit: Yeah, I'm not getting that beer.

I am disappoint.

And I will envy.

You're throwing in the towel that quick? Is it that hard to find?

Yup. Nobody in my area sells it--my best beer shoppe doesn't even carry it.

Have to order it, I'd guess.

I'm going to keep digging.

Try ebay - I'd be shocked if you couldn't find it there. Of course, it'll be 4x the retail price, but if you're just looking for a taste....

There's plenty of Pappy on there too....at 3x retail.

neonleon29 · 05-09-2012, 05:48 PM

Trying this witbier for the first time. Its retired on Beer Advocate so its no longer brewed but it has excellent reviews.

Has anyone tried this?

First of all

I got two yesterday and they are gone. I could get more in a week or so. It's a really nice beer but not THAT nice. You have such high expectations I think you'd be massively disappointed.

I think Alchemist is better, at least for my taste. I received some Three Floyds Zobie Dust too, almost as critically acclaimed -disappointed.

For fifty bucks you'd be better off having me send you a growler of Hill Farmstead Ephraim next time it's released.

Whole Foods carries it (my nephew works at one) and it goes for $225 on eBay. Guys wait for it so they can sell it online; the buzz can't last, right?

WestCoastOffensive · 05-09-2012, 08:24 PM

Heh heh ALMOST $225
