Had it this year at Jungle Jim's Beerfest. At that time you couldn't find it in Ohio. I heard Jungle Jim's might have some now, so I checked Friday at Pint Nite. Didn't find any, so it must be at thier Eastgate store. I might have to drive there and get a bottle or two.

It was the best sour that I had at the beerfest. I loved it and want moar !!!

I suggest trying one. Tart cherries/raspberries. Some wood and wine flavors. Damn good !!! Rates a 4.3 on Untappd which is really good.

In the beer section I went over to a small end rack where I've been finding lots of nice bottles lately and I see one bottle of The Oracle just sitting there. Last one on the shelf, I double checked in the Bell's area and nothing. Been wanting to try this forever, can't wait to drink it later.
I just saw on twitter where a beer store in Loveland Ohio will be getting 1 case of The Oracle. Only 120 Cases were released in Ohio.

That sounds very interesting. Other than the Abita, they should all be good

$25 through livingsocial. The samples are only 3 or 4oz nothing huge but it's only a couple miles from my work so worth checking it out.
