    Yes, I am guessing the "small amount" is whatever is left unclaimed from Mug Club.

    Interesting note: The Rue The Crown bottles have a TGB seal on top, presumably to prevent re-waxing.

    Like heaven I'd hope haha. Wish us small folk could've got a chance at it. (a realistic chance, aside from the silent drop of probably 1 case maybe)

    Assuming no word of the silent drop since no mention in here?

    Correct. No silent drop.

    I would guess you won't see any until the time frame for mug club members to pick theirs up expires.

    Personally, Naughty Temple drank like a glorious BA English Barleywine to me.

    Well my apologies, I just couldn't see a 7% being a close to a big juicy barleywine but it sounds like the a lot of people agree. I guess I have another beer to try lol.

    I think a big 15% old ale has to resemble a barleywine right?
