    It's on the carry out list today so it stands to reason that it'll still be there. I'd bet it will last into the weekend. I was surprised how many people weren't buying it when I grabbed mine last night.

    Still available. Long line moving very slow though. Also had cimmerian sabertooth berzerker bottles available.

    For future reference, when you call that number and the cute sounding girl on the recording starts talking just hit #3 on your phone and it'll take you to the beer to-go list (updated every day).

    How much were the Berzerker bottles and any limit? Love that beer! Glad to see it getting bottled.

    The automated phone list didn't have chevalier on it but the online one did so I went for it. Berzerker was $10 no limit. Bottle date is today so super fresh.

    They were writing it on the board a few people ahead of me around 2. I'm mad I only bought 1. Just drank it and really really liked it.

    Cimmerian was on tap back in April/May...solid DIPA...heard it wasn't going to be bottled until I saw the label online and then obviously on the "Beers To Go" list today. Picked up a couple bottles of Chevalier and as previous posts have said, shocking if all of it sells out in two days, considering BA Behemoth lasted more than that, I would hope this will last longer.

    Sunday=Beer Camp Tour until 2-3PM and then back to Floyds for more bottles of Chevalier (if available).

    FYI-if you're in the area, highly suggest you get your shit together and drive 20 minutes to Gangster Gary and pick up a bottle of Grapefruit Dead from 18th street...if you're that bullheaded not to, then I am confident you will spend some time in purgatory watching the rest of us drink it...

    Grapefruit Dead is fantastic. Well worth the quick drive over to sip a snifter of Hunter and take a GD to go.

    Sorry to say grapefruit dead is NOT fantastic. Over hyped and over priced. 3.75 at best and that's pushing it. I expected better from the maker of deal with the devil. Now that beer is a 4.5 ALL DAY. Too bad they haven't made it in awhile.

    I'll admit that I was disappointed with the bottle I cracked yesterday. Had it on tap Thursday and it tasted way different than what was bottled. I've felt that way with some beers before and this was one of them. I still thought it was good, but I'll agree - it's not $15 good nor worthy of the hype.

    Agree that the tap tasted better than the bottles. I wasn't that disappointed with the $15 price point considering some of the P Dubs stuff that comes out and is in the $10-11 range that I end up drain pouring after a couple sips.

    On another note, Floyd's still has Chevalier bottles, and it's dope...
