    If memory serves they normally do timed releases... Like every hour or two hours they tap a keg until it runs out or whatever.

    Edit: I should add that if you really are just wanting pours of darkness lots of places will have it on tap very soon too. Stubb and herbs also usually taps it on DDay eve.

    I'll be doing it just as a give-away type of deal, walking up and down the line handing them out until they are gone. I really enjoy the brewery and have a few friends that work for them so spreading the love is something I have no problem with. Plus I love handing out free shit to people:wink:

    I will have some 515 offerings (for sure OJ IPA and Passe if they will fill a growler) to trade for sips of goodness as. Really looking forward to this whole event!

    I'll just have to find you then. Actually, heading to Des Moines in November, so hope to hit up both of these breweries.

    Depending on how it goes, based on recent info, I'm going to guess very little BA.

    Probably the wrong place to ask but I don't see another thread on the first page and I haven't bee on BA in awhile. Anyone know when bottles are hitting? I have a vertical planned for Halloween and need a 2015 bottle to finish it off...getting a little nervous I won't get one in Rochester, thanks in advance if you reply!

    Since we haven't heard anything from Surly, I'm starting to think it will have a different release date all together. I hope I'm wrong but as far as I know the only evidence we have that it's even being bottled is finding the label online.

    I should be able to help you out if it doesn't hit Roch by then.

    I heard something in the news about Highway 100 being closed somewhere this weekend. Will this affect me coming from East 94 through 394 W and 100 North?

    Hey beer bros/gals - Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I'll be bring some of my None More Black homebrew again since it went over well last year. This year's batch hit 30.5% abv. I'll be bringing a howler of the straight 30.5% version (its bourbon barrel aged on three french oak chars, with vanilla beans, cacao nibs, and Mostra coconut cold brew), and 2 blends: NMB blended 60/40 with my Bluebs! blueberry lambic and NMB + raspberries (a strawberry vodka + raspberry maceration).

    Come find me near the front and I'll be glad to share!

    Not unless something changes. I live in GV and the closure lately has been the entrances and exits from hwy 55 to hwy 100. You should be fine on the 394 to 100 exchanges.
