    Not when you include tax, but I agree that is a very reasonable price given their reputation.

    Price check at Blue Max is $23 including tax, limit 1 as mentioned above.

    It was ~$40/btl either last year or the year before @ Surdyk's. So yeah that's progress...

    Top Valu (Columbia heights Muni) has it $23.99, same price as Tower in Roseville. St. Anthony had it as well for a buck or so cheaper.

    Downtown Haskells is releasing it Thursday morning.
    I'm so busy today I don't know if I'll be able to pick up some. Unless 44th and France manages to hold on some til 7:00.

    Darkness bottles were about the same this year as they were last. Right around 25,000 bottles.

    Last time I checked, nobody here is including the tax.
    Also FF gives you a discount when you pay in cash - I believe 5%

    Who else does that?

    The only reputation they have, that I know of, is that they run out of everything quick.
    Please elaborate on this reputation you refer to, as I'm curious to what it is.

    Thanks in advance...

    I think the poster was referring to prices being often higher at Four Firkins than other stores. I often find the same beer at the Liquor Barrel in SLP a few miles away cheaper than at 4F.

    Typical Andy's response. They will get it the same time everyone else does in Rochester. As for Apollo, I hope you get called, I've been on the list the past 2 years and never got called. Just kept checking in person.

    My apologies for the Segue, but I was wondering how long one can expect to see this on tap around town in the twin cities. In particular, I was wondering if anyone has any idea how long it might be on tap over at the tasting room.

    I'll be out over Thanksgiving, and always love to try draft darkness, if I can find it. Thanks. Cheers!

    Depends on the location. Some places put it on sooner, others later. I imagine somewhere around town could have it on tap around Thanksgiving.

    Last year it was on almost constantly somewhere or another until Christmas, or thereabouts. Seems like there was a ton more on tap to go around last year than previously.
