Yeah, last year it was out in october and I was thinking it was annual at that time. Went and asked about it then and they had none. Actually, the Cub Foods liquor store by my house had it last year as well. Blue Max trip is definitely on the agenda for today.:tu

The 2010 release (which I think was the first) was pretty easy to get in this area. It sat on shelves for a week. I just kept going around town picking it up. I didn't think anything of it since the 09 bourbon county was out for a full year bombers and 12oz. Never knew it was that limited. So when Vanilla and Rare hit it was impossible to grab a bottle. Even the Bourbon counties after the 09 got hard to get. I do think since Goose Island got bought AB increased the amout they ship and distribute which has caused the beers harder to get.

Yeah BCS would sit on shelves for a while pre 2010. Now the stuff just vanishes as soon as the truck drops of the beer....

Woodchuck Farmhouse Select Original 91

I didn't buy it, and it was f*cking terrible.

No head, no carbonation...99% sure it was a complete dud. Nevertheless I drank it.

Looked on ratebeer, apparently that is how it's supposed to taste :sh

BLEH :pu

Is it even a beer Bill? I thought Woodchuck was hard cider.

I don't know, I didn't buy it.

It was apparently sold with the beer. Bottled like beer....on Ratebeer.

But to me, no it does not count as beer. It was awful.

It tasted like flat sh*tty Riesling wine with water :pu

woodchuck is cider.
we have a local orchard that makes cider - 4 or 5 different versions from dry to sweet. not too bad, but more like champagne than beer.

Bill like a couple people said that woodchuck is definitly a hard cider.My wife likes it. Not a big fan of it myself alittle to sweet. Thats why you got that reisling like flavor.
As for me i had Ottercreek 20th anniversary ale, Southern Tier 2x stout and Saranac White IPA last night.
