    Anyone having luck finding this? I've heard Strong Liquors in Minnetonka and Four Firkins in SLP had some but ran out quickly :slight_frown:

    No idea how we have it here in MN, if you look at the Beer release thread, it has yet to be released in Bell's General Store, or anywhere in MI for that matter

    I was very surprised as well...had heard nothing about this prior to Princeton's tweet and still nothing about it showing up anywhere but here!

    I was talking to the beer guy at my local shop about KBS and he had mentioned he saw Black note had been shipped to distributors, I cant imagine anyone thought it would be out this fast

    It was pretty easy to get this past release here in the cities. Stores started with bottle limits, then a week or 2 later sold it at any quantity, Lake and Wine had it for well over a month

    Were these just a second release of the last bottling of the Black Note 12 oz. bottles or are these actually Black Note '14? Is there anywhere on the bottles that would indicate the year?

    I just looked at an empty and it was a 2012 bottling date. Do these have a newer bottling date. Might go downstairs and check the bottle I traded for recently but I think that was about a month ago so probably the older stuff for me if there is a new batch.

    Anybody got a date on the released bottles? Both bottles I got at different times, one recently, were 12/28/12

    I guess I saw the new bottles. Definitely a new batch.

    North Loop had some behind the counter, 2 btl limit, $7.99, rang up as 6.99 and the person behind the counter immediately stated it was actually 7.99 and changed the price. Maybe I got the classic "twitter chaser" price.

    Black note is delicious, but F stores for making this a $16 bomber when it should be a $18 4 pack. Ahhh the good old days when you could actually buy a 4 pack of KBS, blacknote, BCBS ect for retail... they're forever gone I fear.
