I seriously am getting frustrated by attempting to find this.

It's supposed to be back in Michigan and says it shipped but when I go to the retail store finder and contact everybody that supposedly has it most of the workers don't even know what Enjoy By is and the few that do didn't realize they were supposed to be getting a new batch.

A few of the retailers said they would call me if it comes in so hopefully they will.

It was the same way with Ruin 10 as well. I don't know if it is Stone or if it's the distributor in this region that is making everything all confused.

I've had that frustration in the past, too. I don't think it is Stone or the distributor. I think it's the retailers. When you call or go in, ask to speak to the person who buys the beer - they generally know what's up.

And it doesn't hurt to bring them a homebrew or two when you go in (assuming you find the right person). It ensures they call you in the future :whistle:

Definitely find out who the distributor is in the area and contact them and ask which retailer in your area is carrying it. If you have a Whole Foods, give them a call.
I can say that it has sometimes taken 2 weeks to get to shelves even after it physically arrived in our area.

"Whole Foods" is where I went to obtain mine. Pretty nice place I must say. The one right around the corner from me even has a small bar with many of the local brews and others on tap so you can sample before you buy. Never saw a bar inside a grocery store before.

Whole Foods almost makes you want to spend money. I fight that urge when I'm there.
Never go to a grocery store hungry.

I've found that while Whole Foods may not get them fast, they seem to have them in stock and enough to share. It may be a few cents more a bottle but for that quality, I'm not fighting over a few cents.

And I'm really REALLY spoiled by having Enjoy By and Ruin Ten at the same time. I'm saving a few (just one or two) for past the date just because I'm a rebel :) and I really can't wait for it to come back again. These 2 are my favorite Stone beers by a lot.

Someone really should send me one of these so I can see just what I'm missing. I will gladly pay for a couple of them and shipping.

Whole Foods seems to have the most confusion in my area. They were one of the first places I checked. I will give them a break though because they are a good source for a constantly rotating selection of beer and they usually know what's going on.

I am totally ashamed to say I forgot to check the Wine Cellar which was where I used to get all my beer when I worked on that side of town but since I don't get over there much any more it slipped my mind. The owner said they should be arriving sometime either today or tomorrow and he is going to put a couple of bottles aside.
