Yes! Coming back to MSP at just the right time!

 

Has surly confirmed Monday?

 

It is on their website and stores are confirming they will have it next week.

 

Where is the info on the website? I have looked through every tab and can't find anything.

 

Anybody have an idea what this is going to cost?

 

Was 2014 Darkness not barrel-aged?!

 

I like to call it barrelly-aged. 2nd or 3rd use depending on how you think of it. 2015 is a completely different beer.

 

14 was barrel aged in that it was put in barrels to transport it with the opening of the new brewery. It was not meant to be aged from the beginning.

I'm quite excited for this release, and I hope it isn't too hard to come by. This has been a rough few months on my savings account...

 

1500 barrel aged darkness for distro and its hitting Wisconsin...gonna be hard to find for sure

 

Where did you hear that? Todd said on some podcast they made over 100 barrels worth so that would translate to LOTS of bottles.

 

The initial speculation way back when was 3000 total. 1500 at DDAY and 1500 for distro. I'm led to believe this isn't the case, and that there will be at least 3 times as much. I've heard anywhere from 5000 to 10,000 multiple times. I guess we'll see when it happens.

 

Found it. Start at the 43:30 mark or so. Todd said 120 barrels worth in whiskey barrels. Converting 120 barrels right to 750ml bottles would be almost 40,000. Obviously some will go into kegs though. Regardless....lots.

I heard the 3000 bottle count, could be more...Either way I bet most is going to be put into kegs....we shall see though
