    Is all the Darkness being sold this year barrel aged or only some? I got a beer served rare email months ago but it didn't mention if all the Darkness would be BA. Thanks for you help y'all.

    I guess they have some that is not barrel aged, but it is only available at Darkness Day (and maybe tap room or special events around the cities). It will not hit distro. I am interested in trying them side by side at Darkness Day.

    Word on the street is Darkness was BA this year so they had tank space to continue to supply their regular beers to the Twin Cities and Chicago. Also the reason there was no wet this year, no tank space.

    Will it hit stores like last year or since its barrel aged they only brewed enough for Darkness Day?

    It will hit stores. 30,000 bottles total this year with about 9,000 if that for Darkness Day.

    Last years release was about 20,000 for the first batch and 10,000 for the second.
