This beer should stay what it is as a seasonal beer. The way I had to get this beer was funny, it wasn't on the shelves and I had to asked a worker to get it. Then I had to meet him in the the alley and was only allowed one sixer (LOL). I felt a little robbed, because I paid $15.99 for a sixer. I don't believe this beer deserves all the hype it gets, it is what it is a mediocre beer. This was the first time I tried this beer and I had a decent experience with it.
