    I want Creeper again just for another Pelican release show. And because I missed out on what I'm going to assume was the best Kuma's burger ever released in honor of Pelican the same week.

    You have a bottle of this?

    It's the only photo tick I'm missing from them.
    Did you ever order the beer, or was it just on the menu? My friends and I tried many times to order one, and we were always told they had them, but not on site, so come back and try again next time, and maybe they'll have restocked it.

    Bait and switch! :rolling_eyes:

    Pretty sure Scrumtralecent got one there a couple years ago. I know he paid good money though.

    I bought a bottle twice, and it was maybe $55. Once was after DLD 2011 and the other just a few months prior to that.

    Glad I was able to try this on draft back in ~2006 or so.

    Yeah what is the story with Twisted Spoke? I saw it listed on Beer Menus as recently as a few weeks go, looks like it is gone again. I've also seen them list Dark Lords there.

    edit: someone send me their empty, I want that label :slight_smile:

    I was able to try this last year at DLD. If you are out there, thanks to the guy that shared! I've had a bottle sitting in my cellar. I think I'm going to bring mine to DLD this year to share in line.

    I stand corrected. Three bottles I do not have (apparently I should add that I am aware of).

    Plan on cracking one this weekend for a friends birthday. I'll make sure and report back on how it's holding up.

    Opened up one tonight and it's still drinking great. Huge thanks to my friend Matt (stxss07) for this gem.

    I've got a Fantabulous Resplendence XI I was thinking on taking to DLD...probably tastes like wine by now. That and the FFF poppa skull.

    Wasn't XI an IPA? X was the strong ale. I'd be curious to see hear how the 7% IPA held up for 5 years.

    I tried my hardest to trade mine away last year....i thought it would go in a flash, but since it was made long before the hype started, i had it on the trade block for almost a year.... Finally got a ddg for it thanks to a great trading buddy

    What does it take to land a bottle now trade wise. This is one I'm missing for my 3Floyds bottle collection.

    Swapped a Murda'd Out Stout for the last one I picked up (as a surprise for Chris ^^ up there).
