    Does anyone know if this will be/is available? Nice to see Surly make its way out here but patiently waiting for the big dog to make an appearance.... thanks!

    As far as I know it hasn't showed up. I've been keeping an eye out. I would love to see it down here, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Keeping my eyes open. I'm sure we'll get some.

    Would certainly seem strange to me that we'd get darkness but not abrasive...so I'm hoping it shows up here

    "Starting the week of January 20, a very limited shipment of Darkness 2013 bottles will be going out to craft beer/liquor stores around the Twin Cities, and for the first time into the Chicagoland area too. It's a smaller batch than in October, but we've also been able to ship kegs of Darkness out to a number of bars in both metro areas. So if you're not able to find a bottle, there'll still be plenty of places to grab a Darkness, again.

    As always, if you see bottles in stock or Darkness on tap, let Surly Nation know via Twitter using the #surlydarkness hashtag.

    Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I stopped following that thread assuming we just weren't getting it. Maybe that was a little premature.

    Any source on why you feel this way or are you just speculating? Surly cans Abrasive into March so there's still time. It is, however, tasting as delicious as it always has. Working on taking down my 4th 4pack.

    I've got a few cans of Abrasive if anyone is looking to IP trade 1/27. I will be in/around Joliet.

    Just got 8 cans today (via trade), guess I got tired of waiting for it to reach Chicago.

    Just speaking with the beers stores, no one has said they know they will get it in. Multiple ones have been looking out for it but no one has heard if it will be available in the area
