Help me find a beer! Not just any beer...

So I stopped into Bierkraft in January and grabbed a case worth of interesting beers. One of the liter bottles rang up around $32, but I snatched it up anyway thinking I have to try it. It was a Brooklyn Brewery Black Ops (Russian Imperial Stout). This may be the greatest beer I have ever had. To the point I have cause to celebrate this week and I would love to track down a bottle. Apparently it was a limited run so I'm having some trouble finding one. If anyone knows where I might be able to score one I would be appreciative.

    Might be an obvious question, but did you try calling the brewery yet?

    Good idea, I'm so used to dealing with faceless corporations and their endless automated phone systems I didn't even consider it.

    Try a Polish grocery store called "Eagle Provisions" at 5 ave. and 18th street. They have the largest old world beer selection in Brooklyn.

    They have it at the beer place on Washington and Bergen. My husband was just there and saw it. I *think* it's up above the fridge cases on the left when you walk in -- by the Local 1 and 2.
