Bell's Black Note (2013)

its hit very sporadically over the last few weeks. what part of Michigan are you in?

 

2 stores that i know of got a very limited amount in IA yesterday. Sold within the hour. I called 4-5 other stores that all said they didn't get anything.

 

One store in Southern Illinois had it yesterday, 1 case received-2 bottle limit. $5.99 per.

 

You must have been asleep at the wheel man. It came and went from stores here a while back. All stores seemed to put it up on Facebook. Don't you Facebook?

 

One store in AZ, that I know of, got a single case today and sold out withing 3 hours. Glad I had already traded for some, because I definitely missed out haha.

 

Anyone know any places near downtown chicago or bucktown area that has any?

 

I had to struggle to get 6 bottles in South East Michigan, I probably could have gotten closer to 10 if my mules cooperated, but it was a pain in the ass regardless. I'd argue it's worth it since I think the beer is better than KBS and BCBS, but the amount of driving I had to do around my county was beyond annoying.

I don't think Bell's is subject to make a massive amount more of the beer than they currently do. However, it would be nice if all of Michigan got a little more than we did, since most stores in SE Michigan got 1 case only (KBS was delivered at a rate of 4-6x this amount, and I thought that was insanely limited, but hey, atleast I got a KBS Day ticket, vs having no idea Black Note was on sale at Bell's preventing me from driving to grab a case).

 

Morakaton,
Welcome to the club,I get a kick out of people
who complain when there home state brewery
doesn't save them enough beer. In Minnesota
you couldn't drive anywhere besides Michigan
and get more than a bottle or two. The same thing
happened this year in Minnesota when they shipped
Darkness to Chicago. Everyone was pissed off.

 

Ann Arbor

 

I live in Ann Arbor and all the stores I buy my craft beer from have not received any. At my main bottle store, the owner had never even heard of it!

 

Hmmm... Sorry to hear that man. Some local BAs on here may be able to help you out to at least know where to go next year... In the mean time it looks like you'll have to hit up some trades.

 

It's ok, I have some KBS so that will suffice me for now. Mainly I just wanted to do a comparison between them since everyone is saying BN is better, would have been nice to see if that is true or not. Oh well there's always next year, no biggie

 

if you ever make it out to the Clarkston area let me know. i can help you out.

 

Never heard of it? Might be time to find a new beer store.

 

Just drive to Kzoo for a case next time.

 

And of course the day I posted that, store calls me and says the Black Note came in and I have my bottle waiting

So I have my bottle of BN to try alongside of KBS, can't wait to give them a go!

 

That is awesome! I didn't mean to make it sound like I was being a dick either.
