    Was in there a little bit earlier and they said "next week". Not sure how accurate that is. Might just stop in tomorrow and see.

    Silly me for suggesting this might be a little easier to find this year since it wasn't at Darkness Day!

    ISO: BA Darkness

    PM for ratios.

    Best wife ever randomly stopped in orland park Binnys today and scored us one! Just very lucky timing I'm sure.

    I like this idea, make it a Minnesota only release!

    They already did that, and then a few years back realized that they also wanted Chicago money. :stuck_out_tongue:

    I'm fine with that. You guys just have to line-up 3 days in advance and camp out in Feb. to get it. :grinning:

    Now we just need more Chicago beer here in return. :wink:

    The good thing is, there seems to be a bunch more BA Darkness this year, at least here in the cities. Reports of stores getting a lot more than last year, so hopefully that is true of all other markets as well.

    Feburary is warm, so that is no problem. Besides, we line up for Town Hall Barrel Age week and we even have an outdoor beer fest in Janurary/Feburary, doesn't phase us. :sunglasses:

    It seems like guys like Half Acre are really trying to increase their distro footprint, so you may get lucky soon enough.

    Also, I'm wondering if the 3 month thing allowed Surly to brew a CRAPLOAD of Darkness, pop it in barrels after Darkness Day, and get a bunch of it out as BA. Either way, it seems like a lot of people are getting bottles, so I'm happy for everyone's luck this year. It seemed like a lot of people were striking out in 2015.

    Hope everyone's luck continues next week!

    At LP and they have it. Didn't quite trust them...I think it's gone just since I've been here.
