    It's a Stout, right? Suck it up! :wink:

    (if it's a brewery only release, gotta wonder if they'll pour 20 ounces for you. :wink:)

    That’s if they brew enough to make it out of Kalamazoo. I’d like to think they put more into this release than Black Note which is distributed far and wide.

    @PapaGoose03 stated that the 40th anniversary Expedition is already available.
    Not sure if I can get there before the weekend.

    Assuming it ends up on the beer finder (for draft), it is not there yet. Hope it does, or there won’t be a way to even hope to track it down without getting lucky.

    I can confirm it is on draft and there are a ton of 4 packs available in the store. $20/4 and it is a steal. The stout itself is definitely more modern (thiccc) than traditional Expo but it is still very well done.
