I've never seen it in a store. For a while it was the strongest (or second strongest) beer in the world along with the DFH 120, but BrewDog in Scotland (w00t) has since smashed that.

Tried a bottle of the Red Hook Eiselbock couple weeks ago. This is the first Eiselbock I've tried and I was pleasantly surprised. It was really smooth and a more mellow flavor than I would have expected with bock in the name and the 11% alcohol.

Oh, and IIRC, no growler fills of PtY.

Yes, the Elder. Younger will be out in a few weeks though! Russian River is doing something new this year. PtY will have a daily allotment at the pub in Santa Rosa.... Meaning if they run out one day, they'll have more the next! It'll be on tap for 2 weeks. I-club trip? We MUST have a 100% sober driver for each car traveling to the pub.

From what I heard, they are not filling growlers anymore because people were selling them on ebay and Russian River would have none of that.
I am sad once again this year because I am leaving for vacation on the 3rd and coming back on the 12th, so there will be little to no way I will make it up there for the last day.

Sonoma County, Marin County and a couple places in SF that I knew of. You used to be able to find Blind Pig and Elder at a few places in San Mateo County and Santa Clara County, but those places are dried up. They have become much more popular in the past couple years, so since they do not want to expand their brewery, they decided to bring their distribution closer back to home. Lameness I say.
