    Per their FB:

    One of our most frequently asked about beers is here! Well, almost...

    Tickets to hold a bottle will go on sale at noon on Monday, December 14th in our tasting room and bottles can be picked up Monday, December 28th.

    Madagascar is our Imperial Milk Stout aged in bourbon barrels with vanilla beans. Truly a pleasure for your palate!

    Anyone know if there is there any chance for an out-of-towner who will be in STL on 12-28 to get a ticket to the release before hand?

    They are allowing proxy for ticket pickup. Check their Facebook and you will find out everything. Cheers.

    If I can get away from work for a bit I'll be there. If not, this should be seeing distro anyway

    Tickets need to be purchased in person though. No over the phone or online ticket sales.

    Not sure how fast but Madagascar didn't seem to be too well know nationally until after EBF.

    Anyone know if there will be any bottles available to walk-up customers? Looks like there's no way I'll get tickets beforehand.

    You mean tickets, right? 1,000 tickets would be enough for 167 people assuming everyone purchased the limit. That sure doesn't sound like great odds given the weather condition. Anybody have any idea how deep the line was or when it started forming (by forming, I mean more than 30 people)?

    I was 30th in line and arrived around 10:45. My friend arrived right at 12:00, went to the back of the line, and received the allocation.

    It'll be on shelves at Schnucks and other stores most likely, at least it was last year.
