Most likely until the last week of February. Most liquor stores change right when the White Ale comes out for spring in March, but some bars just keep the stock until it runs out. If you’re lucky, your local pub will not get rid of their winter stock and maybe you can buy the rest off them for a discount price. I’m sure the manager would be happy to get rid of extra winter beers in March!
It really depends on the store and how fast they move it. Last month I noticed a local store I went into had the summer ale and winter ale which shouldnt happen but does. If its not bought it usually sits till someone does.
I would assume the spring beer shouldnt start to be seen till early march

The Beerman Sez: They replace it with White Ale around the end of Feb. Their old Spring Ale was great but it’s been gone for five or six years.
BTW Try their Honey Porter.
