3 HEB's 2 Kroger's 1 Spec's liquor 0 Pumpkinators One manager told me, not which day, but that on the day they'll be gone in minutes of opening. Then at one of the Kroger's, a guy there wanted to take my name & number to contact me & make sure I get a couple when they come in, but I got the impression he wanted some compensation for it. That's reasonable, I just didn't know how to play it. Guess I should have given him a twenty or something when I gave him my number. I'm thinking more like a ten if & when I get a couple. Oh well. Guess if I want to try it bad enough, I can buy some from one of the hoarders peddling it on craigslist.
A 96 "world class" beer advocate rating (no bros subscore?), you really didn't like it? Groupthink situation, or just not your style?
I have 4. I'll check out in Cypress where I work tomorrow, if I come across some and anyone is still looking I'll probably let them go for $11 a piece, the collector bottles that is.
So what's the markup value for this crap? I'm willing to go stores in the barrio and see if they have this. I'm sure stores in the barrio will have it. The ese's only drink Corona and Bud Light.

Yeah, I tried that one recently, too. The pumpkin flavor was overwhelming. It was as if Starbucks made a pumpkin-spiced beer.
Pumpkinator release day makes me happy, because it marks the advent season for Christmas Ale. I'm in deep reflection now, stealing away moments of solitude and quiet before the big day.
Picked up 2 more this morning from the HEB @ Buffalo Speedway. Looks like they only have 10-15 bottles left on the shelves. Didn't see anymore cases out.
