Bells Black Note (2014)

Wisconsin getting any this year?

 

Anyone see this floating around NYC yet by any chance?

 

That's because they probably got it today. Hope you got some!

 

Oh, I thought this was some random guy giving us the lowdown, until I read your name.

Go Sox!

 

Roswell/Alpharetta area near Atlanta

 

I asked one of the local (savannah) beer sellers about it today, and he said Atlanta got everything and kept it (again)

 

Same here. Nobody seems to know anything. My store owner asked his distributor who also said he knows nothing.

 

Iowa got 1 keg... total.

 

That seems to be the way Bells wants it. I said it before
there is no hype they know they will sell every bottle. They kind of use the it will get there when it gets there approach with no advanced warning.

 

Beestin, unless Iowa is a craft beer graveyard I should think you will get more. In Minnesota last year I had BN on tap 6 different times all the way into the summer time. They must keg a lot of it for Bells tap takeovers.

 

For the most part its come and gone in the city... all the Whole Foods got a case and sold out in 20 minutes or so, but I've heard a rumor that more will show up next week

 

I got a bottle at Eastern District in Greenpoint a couple of weeks ago. They got one case and sold out in a day.

 

Can someone help this newb. I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of this and was wondering if I should age this at all. Any recommendations?

 

Has anyone seen this is Metro Detroit? Funny that West Michigan, Virginia, DC, NY get it before the rest of MI...

 

Snagged one at Rattle N' Hum near Penn Station, paid a premium but it is what it is

 

You have Toppling Goliath readily available I don't wanna hear it

 

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out.

 

True! Although I wouldn't call it readily available. We get bottles of whatever they decide maybe 1x/mo and the shops limit to 2 bottles mostly. They don't even put it on the shelf and it's gone the same day. Pseudo Sue is almost always included but something like their Sosus has only been bottled a few times in the past full year. They have some amazing stuff though.

 

Beestin,
Have been able to try King Sue yet? They had it on tap in Hudson a while back it was amazing.

 

Sweet. The Ploughman in Brooklyn just got a case in; most of it left. They also have several KBSs. The proprietress said that she got exactly 1 of the exactly 15 cases received in NYC.
