Same. Costco of all places, but I will happily snag it for $8

Are you the only person in California that has Einstock Winter ale in stock?

Finally found this beer here. Had one yesterday and really enjoyed it.

Looks like St Bernardus X-mas (750s, 330ml bottles, and cans) seem to be all over the Mid-Atlantic but now.

We got an Einstock porter drop earlier this year, but it was gone before I could buy any.

Picked up a 4-pack of St. Bernardus Xmas in cans in WI, the price was right. $13 and change.

Still nothing at the store here.

Timers in Racine also had Gouden Carolus Xmas, but I think that was it. Pretty slim pickins.

I haven’t seen gouden carolous in years. Miss it so

Wife drank the whole 4-pack of St. B cans while i was locked away in quarantine.

So I picked up a 750 of St.B plus single bottles of Tsjeeses Reserva and Nice Chouffe yesterday. I’ll get into them closer to Christmas.

Local place still has bottles of 2010, might pick one up for old times sake. Used to like T'Smisje Kerst also, wonder if they have any of that stashed somewhere.

Picked up a can of St. Bernardus X-Mas. Looks like more of the Belgian stuff is arriving on the selves around here. But no Corsendonk yet.

Local shop said they were expecting to get some of the Shelton catalog back in the next couple weeks, may include some Belgian Xmas beers...

Picked up some Scaldis at Costco yesterday.

Found another four pack of St. B cans. It is fantastic.

Drinking Delerium at my parents. My annual tradition.

So... I did not see Corsendonk anywhere this year. Confirmation from elsewhere around the country?

I haven't Corsendonk here in many years now.

It doesn't last long enough here to get old, if I don't buy on sight it's gone in a week or two. Can't say if it was leftover stock from the distributor, but I doubt it.
