    Hy-vee Eagan - $19.99 Limit 1
    Total Wine Eagan $19.99 Limit 1

    Both had 2016 at the same price too.

    Stopped in Bigtop Eagan and they said they didn't get it yet.

    The hunt continues!

    That's way too cheap for MGM! Did you mean Total Wine Maple Grove?

    Dang, auto correct got me when I typed just MG for Maple Grove.

    Also I believe the MGM in Maple Grove has pretty reasonable prices compared to some of the other mgm's out there. At least I seem to remember, I haven't bought Darkness there in a while.

    What gluttonous POS needs 14 or even 12 bottles? Seriously? Not like it's a fucking one off. Hoarding bastards. All I need is my one and I am glad I got it.

    The Ale Jail and Scott's in Mac Groveland have it. Scott's also just pulled out another case of 2016 Darkness. Came to just over $22.00.

    Traders. Folks who age beer. People with friends out of state who enjoy Darkness. Folks shopping for holiday gifts/holiday party beverages.

    Not that I'm disagreeing.

    Looked like there were 4+ cases in the walk-in cooler at Lunds & Byerlys on Hennepin downtown. $21.99. Nothing posted about limits, but I didn't try to buy 14 bottles...

    You asked. I answered.

    There will be plenty out there for everyone. Look at how much '16 is still sitting on shelves.

    At least they are not buying it to sell online anymore, a nice side effect of it becoming more available and Surly's reputation declining with the beer nerds.
