    Barleywine aged in Apple Brandy barrel for 3 yrs on tap at Balmoral. Absolute perfection.

    Is there a reason that beer is in a 16oz can when HA and Rev both seem to have fully shifted to 12oz for all other BA beers

    Probably because it's going to be so freaking awesome that they knew we all needed an extra 16 oz of it.

    I was hoping for 12 oz cans too, but I’m guessing because On and On part 1 and 2 were 16 oz , they wanted to keep with the theme.

    Yes, they were going to put them into 12ozs but the beer went On and On.

    Probably. I too wanted the On & On part 3 to be 12oz cans as well.

    Matt Gordon's artwork on a 12 oz label. Are you all mad?

    Was just in there, looks like everything was still in the cooler to me including 2×4. I grabbed 2 2packs with no guilt knowing there's plenty more.

    Full details this week, but I’d imagine similar to other releases. Starting day of release then continuing for a week plus minus the days they are closed.

    What Robert Redford said above, all they had up 3 days ago was "full details next week" but the day of release would be my guess.

    Benthic on the shelf at Bottles & Cans on Lincoln Ave too, so it seems distro is happening in Chicago.

    If this was common knowledge, my apologies.

    Orin too.
