    THIS exactly, grand rapids is perhaps the best beer city in america so why not make a trip around the release. you get 8 bottles of KBS and a kick ass beer trip. take the drive to oddside and get as much BA mayan mocha as you want.

    p.s. 8 bottles equals 4 bombers dont people drive from ALL OVER THE COUNTRY for 3 bottles of high price Dark Lord???

    Come on kevin, really? How do you percieve my question as either whining, crying, or bashing? I was simply asking why they announced details about the release but left that part out.

    #mulemom is a legit running 'joke' between some friends and me, as we have three of them in our circle. We FIBs pull out all the stops.

    No, I do, I just think we have different definitions of what "special" means. 8 bottles, with the convenience of picking them up without waiting in line, a full 10 or so days before it hits shelves is plenty special for me.

    I'll say this if you're from Chicagoland, you could take a day off to go buy a guaranteed 8 bottles, maybe sample some Founders brews, and stop at local bottle shops for interesting brews like Shorts OR you could take a day off to spend just as long truckchasing to pay significantly higher 1 bottle limit prices and end up with less KBS. I got two bottles last year because I don't truck chase, but I still had to take an extended lunch break to get those two, go to two different stores, and get charged $9 for a single bottle at one of them. If I am able to get a ticket, I'll be happy to take a day trip to get 8 of some of my favorite beer.

    Not going to drive up there for 8 bottles, but I'm also not going to bitch about it on the internet.

    Just hoping more makes it into distro or in kegs. Cheers!

    I am assuming if they are going to announce something like that, it wouldnt be on the eventbrite page.

    I wonder if they are going to check IDs, to keep the super secret something special from getting to outsiders. If they do, I hope they announce it in advance, so there is enough time to get a fake ID.

    Considering it just won the Best Beer in America by another beer site, I'll take that bet.

    People don't actually like regular Dark Lord. It's about the taps.

    This response is as stupid and tired as "the brewery burned down."

    I'm just upset that I will be off the grid camping in the backwoods of the UP when the sale goes live.

    agreed, and what happened to them increasing production by 3 fold on this but lowering the allocations?
