    Hmmm. At 4 per, there’s probably a lot of it I’m assuming?

    Might make the drive out there.

    Last year, it came out on all stouts day. I got mine Tuesday morning. It lasted at least a day or two after that.

    I still have six bottles from the last release. I am passing on this one in an effort to keep my cellar reasonable. To further that effort I also cracked one those 2016's this evening. Sooooooo goood. Almost makes me change my mind about this years release. Almost.

    Guy behind the counter said they made a TON of this batch and that it should last well into the week. Had it on draft at the ROTB event, it's really good on draft. Hoping for the same from the bottles. Sounds like a nice time to do a side-by-side-by-side with last year's releases.

    I was told there would be distro by the guy working at the general store. Doubtful he is the true authority so take it fwiw. He mentioned larger, long standing accounts, etc. I suspect if you saw 2016 BN, you will see 2017 BN.

    The leftovers from Roll out the Barrel are rapidly disappearing from the cafe, but there seems to be plenty of black note in the general store. They've got some bottles of upper hand brews in the store right now too.

    Super chill release. Literally no line. Tasted great on tap, too. And I got a Secret Society tee!

    Gonna. E in the area Friday. Assuming it won’t last, but hoping against hope.

    You're from Illinois so there must have been some false pretenses for that to occur. :wink:

    Or maybe the approach here is to say, "Post a pic or it didn't happen."

    Really liked the 2017 over 2016b1 and 2016b2. 2017 seemed a little smoother, sweeter, and with less roast (which was to my liking).

    Still available, as of noon. Got six four packs between my wife and I, didn't sound like they would be running out soon.
