    Was it only Wednesday, or are they still around? Might be able to drive by on Sunday, curse these familial obligations!

    It's still there and plenty of it. I'm driving over Sunday with zero apprehension. Source? My NG rep who was at the brewery today.

    There is

    Yup 2 bottles per release per person

    Also Sour Porter

    Yep

    Still around

    I stopped by today & there were pallets of Vintage '15 and '16, Pommier, Champ, Sour Porter and Golden Ale available along with all of the regular stuff (no strawberry rhubarb though =( )
    All R&D were 2 bottles per person per release & a 2 four pk limit on Raspberry Tart but no limit on 750s of Belgian Red or Serendipity

    I really don't understand this way of doing R&D. Why not put out extra bottles on the Sunday or release weekend? If you're going to put them out later why put them out all at once? Makes me feel like a fool for taking off work and waiting in line all those times.

    It is frustrating when you have to revolve your schedule around these things and then find out they release them to the masses days later. I'm only 2 hours away so driving up tomorrow to grab many R/D's isn't all that bad but I hear where you're coming from.

    Just bought a full 12pk (2pp limit) of all 6 R&Ds mentioned above. Priced at the $15 per bottle. Absolutely insane. At least 2/3 full pallets of all 6 beers and it looks like they were filling back up. No need to rush here if interested.

    There was some bottles of Enigma at the Shell gas station next to Humbird Cheese Mart in Tomah, WI.

    Personally, I think the 4-packs are a game changer. 1) I usually don't want to drink an entire 750mL of beer in one sitting (especially a sweet one) and 2) I no longer either have to buy multiple big bottles or save the one I've got for the "right time" (I'm only in WI every couple weeks). Having 4 chances to drink a smaller amount of the beer is perfect for me.

    Also, how are people liking Cherry Stout? It wasn't exactly what I expected (I'm conditioned to read stout as "big, thick, high ABV beer"), but I'll be damned if it's not delicious nonetheless. Dan's fruited beers are ridiculously consistent.

    I thought it was decent, but "less thick Wisconsin Belgian Red" is what popped into my head when I drank it, not "cherry stout". Probably a testament to how much cherry they used in the beer.

    Yeah, I could see that. I got a lot of chocolate in mine (almost a tootsie roll flavor), which was what I really like about the "stout" aspect. It's definitely more of a fruit beer than I expected.

    I believe I read somewhere in this thread that bottle sharing is not allowed anymore at the R&D releases. Could someone please expand on that? I was really looking forward to doing so at this next release.

    Beer garden sharing, verboten. Line sharing, yes (for now). Peruse this thread page for some more details.

    Last release it was acceptable in parking lot prior to event. Not sure how long it will take for people to screw that up too.

    What about that newly renovated wooded area with the green picnic tables and whatnot? Along that new path they paved.
