Bell's Black Note (2013)

MN should be getting this soon. I hope they release 4 packs of BA Batch 9000. That would be epic!

 

Sounds like most places in MI will be getting a pretty small allotment and most will be selling single bottles only.

 

still have stacks of cases at the brewery as of a hour ago - say they have enough to make the weekend possibly

 

Any signs of this in NEPA?

 

International Beverage (Richi) said he will get his shipment in around 2pm today.

 

My local shop (Falls in MPLS) told me Bell's was not clear on MN shipments. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Friend in Grand Rapids just secured me two 12oz bottles. The shop recieved them today and were only allowing two 12oz bottles per person at $8.xx per bottle. He was told they may recieve more on Thursday and if they do they would be selling the entire 4-packs at that point.

 

There was one or two layers left of the pallet last night at around 8:30. The fridge was fully stocked. Unless they get another pallet, I don't see it lasting more than today.

 

There's a perpetual black note pallet

 

Was there 45 minutes ago, and I'd say they are down to their last 10 cases or so. I asked the dude who rang me up if that was the last of it and he said it was. I'd get there soon if you want it..

 

They were probably down to their last 10 cases or so that they know of, and are present in the store. I don't think the people in the General Store have any idea if another pallet might show up tomorrow or in a few days from the production facility.

This happened with the 750's it sold out in a couple of days, and then all of a sudden a few days later they had a ton again, and it lasted for almost 3 weeks on the shelves if I recall correctly. For that matter the same thing happened with the 4 packs of Black Note, and may happen again.

 

Scored 6 bottles in Indy. Only 24 cases came to the whole state. Better than BCBS

 

I'm interested to see if this makes it out to the western 'burbs of Chicago. I know if it makes it out my way, it will likely be held by the employees for themselves or friends. I've resigned myself to trying to find beers whenever I'm on the road in Indiana rather than bother with my local Binny's. They can't keep one six pack of any kind of 3 Floyd's on the shelf, let alone something this rare. Hoping I find a single bottle this weekend to pair with Baller Stout and AleSmith Speedway Stout when I have my buddies over for a tasting next month.

 

Available tomorrow night at the Birch in Norfolk, VA as part of dark fest (and steal the glass night). Details in South Atlantic forum.

 

Pardon me, 2011 Black Note. (Also 2003 Aventinus on tap. Yowzah.)

 

My buddy picked up 2 4-packs for me at the brewery and I'd be happy to send you a bottle when he brings them to me if you have not found any. Boilers gotta stick together.

 

24 cases is definitely more than I expected, but Indiana received way more than 24 cases of BCBS for the state. There was 4 unopened cases at a small bottle shop in southern Indy 2 weeks ago. Maybe Indiana got 24 cases of Coffee/Cherry.

 

I appreciate it. I'm headed down for the West Virginia game on Saturday, and I was able to reserve a bottle at one of my old stand-by liquor stores from college days. I should be set. Thanks for looking out. Boiler Up!
