    Anyone know if we are only going to see a one time drop or if it'll be spread out a little better

    I thought it was mentioned before that it was expected to have more than just one drop, but I think that was based on prior year's as opposed to any confirmation from Surly for this year.

    I picked up my 4-pack tonight at Beer Temple - since I'm out of town next week, I didn't want to risk missing out. I'll be cracking one open very shortly here.

    Same with Schaumburg. The one Thursday I don't go and see what they had delivered. Dammit. Oh well, I'm sure we will see more shipments.

    I picked up a 4 pack yesterday. Guy said that this week was a small shipment and there will be a larger one next week.

    I wasn't able to get any around NW burbs either...everyone I talked to said it was gone in minutes and only got 1-2 cases. Luckily though was able to find several 4 packs in Dekalb. Same thing there, each place had only 1 case and no one knew if they would get another delivery.

    I was able to grab a 4-pack at the Whole Foods in Oak Park. Apparently the binnys a mile or two up the road in Elmwood park didn't receive it yet (or at least not as of 10 am).

    Hopefully there's a bigger distro coming next week.

    Surly is planning on brewing/canning this beer into January, so it should be very plentiful this time around.

    I could very well be alone on this but Abrasive doesn't seem as good as it was last winter. Doesn't have the bold hop bitterness upfront and the oatmeal aspect is more present. Is it just me?
