    Guessing they've got the one guy who clears rack space for it, and he's not in until 5:00?

    Yes, in a MN facebook group one of the brewers said this years batch is 4x as big as last years.

    So probably 1/2 as good.

    I wasn't sure how the math worked out, but it seems accurate :wink:

    Take out the hype & it was only half as good in the first place.

    Has anybody heard about Double Barrel Jesus this year? I'm pretty sure it was out in August last year so I've been hoping to see it soon.

    Anywhere in the TC do singles of EMJ, Founders Breakfast Stout, ten fidy, buffalo sweat, or other typical 4-pack stout offerings?

    Not sure, but probably worth checking with Elevated... they break up quite a few packs that others don't

    Pretty much any 4- or 6-pack at Ale Jail can be broken up. Zipps and Elevated have a great mix/match selection, too.
