Faithfull Ale - Cleveland Oh

I am from Columbus, the beer is not within 100 miles (so I'm being told by local stores). The Paul's Beverage in Elyria has 11 bottles available for $12.70. I was expecting a 4 pack, not a single bottle, nor $12!! I guess I should have read more about this.

Is this a standard cost for this, or did I get ripped off. I'm chilling it now in hopes it'll be cold for the OSU kickoff. If I like it, I'll get more.

Go Bucks!

    The price at Dogfish Head in Rehoboth was $12.50 so you're fine. And that really isn't a terrible price for a limited edition beer from a microbrew in a 750ml bottle.

    I'm from Columbus too and...
    That's a good price!!!
    I've been able to pick up quite a few bottles of
    "FAITHFULL ALE"...
    10 altogether for gifts and personal consumption!!!!

    The prices have ranged between $11.99 (in Newark, DE & at Gentile's here in Columbus)
    to $15.00 per bottle (also in Newark, DE)

    Also got a few bottles of "BITCHES BREW" same size bottle (and MUCH BETTER BEER!!) and these were between $8.99 & $12.99 per bottle!!

    I picked up 2 bottles at Gentile's in Grandview,
    1 bottle at The Grandview Carryout, (corner of 3rd & Grandview Aves.)
    and 2 bottles (1 Faithfull Ale & 1 Bitches Brew) at The Beverage Source out in Newark, OH (They MAY be getting another case of Faithfull Ale on Tuesday)
    I also picked up 6 bottles in Newark, Delaware last week on my way to NYC for a video shoot!! :ugeek:

    I found it at Anderson's on Sawmill & Blacklick wine & spirits. Also found out my sister-in-law thought no one was gonna get it and found it online & I'm getting 1 for Christmas, haha!

    LOVE seeing all the Columbus Pearl Jam fans!! Now LETS GO BUCKS!!!!

    The beer is ok. I was able to get 2 at the Grandview Carryout because I am a regular there. It's like drinking a European lager, dry, with a grape kick at the finish. I'm saving the other bottle for when PJ comes through the midwest again, and hopefully I'll be able to share it with other fans (my girlfriend thought it was the worst Dogfish beer she's ever had, and has sworn off it).
    Please drink something better for the OSU game. Try something from Great Lakes, Columbus Brewing, Thirsty Dog, or Founders. That beer is probably best when spinning some PJ vinyl, not a football game.

    Love the Bitches Brew from DFH...
    "Faithfull Ale" is just average for me, but it's definitely drinkable!!
    Also working on my 2nd "sixer" of Great Lakes "Christmas Ale"
    & even had a draft of it last night at Skully's during the Wet Darlings show!!!
    It's a really good beer!!!
    I'm gonna take your advice and pick up some Founders too!!!
    Haven't had any of their beers in a while (but I've LOVED them when I've tried their beers!!!) and time to pick up some for the holiday!!! :ugeek:

    Palmer's Beverage Center on Indianola Ave (a hop skip and a jump from Studio 35 where PJ20 was shown) has a box in the back. They said they aren't putting them out because they want to keep them for the Pearl Jam fans who are looking for them. He only brought me one up to the counter but after asking he allowed me to get two. I don't know how many they have left but they are open until 11 o'clock tonight.

    Those bastards. I called them weeks ago and asked them about ordering it. They said they'd call me when it arrived. :evil:

    The store I bought it from in Cincinnati didn't bother to call me like they said they were going to either. I still managed to get 2 bottles from them though.

    A box arrived at Weinland's in Clintonville yesterday, per their tweet. $11.99. Not sure how many are left as I had to have a friend pick me up 2 this morning.
