    If this is the same beer that they poured back at Belgianfest, this is a beer you should go get. In the running for best beer I've had this year. I've gotta work, if anybody goes, and can grab me a couple, you will be properly rewarded and reimbursed. From FB:

    Bottle Release: Time Capsule August 2008! July 23rd at 1pm!

    Their Time Capsule beers are really good, but they also always seem to hit distribution.

    I've noticed this as well. I've only had one Time Capsule beer and liked it, but not to the degree that I'm going to drive across the state for it. I'll keep an eye out for bottles of it, though.

    Well, like I said, if this the beer they were pouring at Belgianfest, it's awesome. And, off top of my head, I can't recall Big Al ever doing a limited release like this before, so maybe there's such a limited amount that they think it will all sell at the brewery, so none for distro? Whatevs, this is about my limit for FOMO (I'm really more psyched for this than I ever was for RN), and I'd really like a couple bottles, but if not, so be it.

    They did something similar for a previous Time Capsule release a couple years ago. I picked one up at the brewery and then started seeing them all over place.

    Yeah, I've seen the bottles up here, just hadn't heard of them doing a ticketed release type deal before.
