    Seems to be Thursday it's usually around. I'd leave reeeal early in the a.m. to get there earlier on a Thursday so you're guaranteed it won't run out if they have it. Good luck.

    If ZD is that important you may just want to ask nicely and see if you can get someone to grab an extra case for you to guarantee you get what you want. Believe it or not some of us are nice like that. :wink:

    I haven't seen dust last more than a day and a half in a loooooong time. Usually the day after it goes on sale the hordes come out to scoop it up the next morning.

    FFF just released a new batch of Permanent Funeral today. If you strike out on ZD this is a more than adequate consolation prize.

    That would be awesome, but I cannot come until next week sometime. I'm sure it will be gone by then. Anyone that lives south of Munster willing to pick me up some ZD and PF? I will pay cash and through in a 6 pack of Westbrook Gose (and maybe some of my own homebrew. I bought the Gose this fall when I went to SC. I have tried a couple of sours since then and figured out I am not a fan sours/gose beers.

    Here's your best bet, put up a IP trade post. Find a BA local to FFF to pick up some ZD when they have it in stock and then pick up the beers directly from him/her. Pay 'em some cash, through in some extras for their work, end with a ZJ.

    I actually made the drive today from Cleveland to FFF. Made it there about 20 mins after kiosk opened and I was one of about 20+ people already waiting in line. Luckily, I was able to walk away with some zombie dust. The Permanent Funeral bombers popped up on the website shortly after I left.

    The website is very accurate and they keep up to date pretty well. Coming from 7 hours away, you'd probably have to leave as soon as you saw it pop up on site. And even then it's still a crapshoot as some others have posted.

    And yes, two case limit for anything. Hope is helps.

    Thank you all for your help. Crossing my fingers for some ZD to go back in stock.

    Fine, if no one else will tee you up, I will:

    sigh... what's a ZJ?

    I just figured that is what your wife gives you after she drinks too much zombie dust.

    Local place gets occasional Dreadnaught and just got lucky with 12 on the shelves. I didn't buy all 12, but bought quite a few.

    The last time they released permanent funeral, they did the same shit. They didn't release it right away, but started selling it around 1 or 2 o'clock after I already left. I've never seen them do this with any other beer and it pisses me off

    God forbid they don't release their beer based on your schedule.

    Has anyone else had an infected bottle of 2014 Conquistador de Muerte. When I cracked mine, it erupted like a volcano and smelled like a nasty dish rag. Taste was extremely sour like spoiled milk. I noticed some other people on untapd had similar results.

    I can't speak to bottles, but the Conquistador de Muerte that was on at FOBAB (or, to be precise, the third session of FOBAB) last weekend both smelled and tasted heavily of acetone, to my mind. I wasn't the only one who had an extremely unpleasant experience with that beer.
