    It's been a while since I've been on, so maybe I'm out of the loop, but was Dark Night released/hard to find/good? Any around still?

    On tap yes....its pretty good, I would say slightly above your average barrel aged stout and its been known to be quite expensive...will be released in cans in a month or two

    Is there any BA Matrise around? I know I've seen the BA Libertine a bunch but don't recall any Matrise.

    If you're on the west side, Tonka Bottle Shop had a bunch of 4 packs as of last Friday.

    Eden Prairie Liquor near Cub Foods had an abundance on Wednesday. It didn't seem to be moving fast at $23

    Dennis Brothers Liquors in Cottage Grove is one of the best beer stores in Minnesota. Go there.

    Thanks!

    Definitely will try and check out some of these stores.

    Sounds like I should be looking for this, Rum King, and TG bombers at the least. Part of me is hoping to find a bottle of Darkness lying around, but that may be a pipe dream unless the brewery is still selling bottles to go, if they do...

    They don't sell bottles at the brewery. Your best option would be to set up a trade

    If you go to their Brewer's Table restaurant, you can buy bottles for dine-in purposes. I'm kind of surprised it's already kicked at the brewery (at least for now). Last year it was on tap there from Darkness Day through New Years.

    It's no longer listed as being on tap on the Beer Hall's website, but perhaps they just aren't advertising it.

    Did Maple Jesus finally drop in the cities? Been hearing rumors of it around.
