Darkness bottles Liquor Stores

They probably did, However, the last time I recall seeing any available (cask only) was back in 2011. Todd tweeted out a picture of him drinking a BA Darkness last year, so my assumptions are it stays close to the brewers and staff.

 

My memory could be wrong but I think there was BA Darkness at Winterfest last year.

 

I thought Bryant Lake (maybe it was another place) had a keg earlier this year or late 2012. I missed out then and at 2011 Darkness Day. Hopefully one of these days I will get a chance to try it!

 

That was Oak Aged Vanilla Bean Darkness, not BA.

 

Yes, you are right. I remember it now. The Oak Aged Vanilla Bean Darkness was delicious.

 

Elite in Woodbury next to Aldi had some, believe it was the going rate at 19.99. I instead bought...Saga!

If Im going to spend 20 bucks on an Imp. Stout, might as well head to Hudson and get a growler of Speedway.

 

Any droppings in the South or SouthWest metro today? Only interested in places selling it for $20.

 

Check a Cub, two of my friends have scored some there and it is $19. My one friend lives in Prior Lake and got some and said 2 were left at the Cub out that way.

 

Cub in Bloomington had some for $24.99.

 

Any sightings in the St Louis Park area?

 

Four Firkins and Liquor Barrel in SLP had some on Monday, but it's long gone now. Not sure if other stores are getting later distrobution.

 

I am headed out of town today travelling 169 south towards mankato. Any stores that would be around the west or southwest metro that I could drop by?

 

Cellars in Eagan still had some last night. $20.79, 1 per

 

We just got more at Vinifera in Plymouth. $20.99

 

Ok - Johnny come really lately - any still around. I am a MORON and did not pay attention. South Metro???

 

I'll be in Minneapolis and St. Cloud today and tomorrow. Is there anything still on shelves?

 

I'm willing to bet there are still bottles at Plymouth Liquor off 55 and 73. They were selling for $30 though, hence there may still be some in stock. They had BBQ the last time I was there also.

 

I looked around at several places and eventually got suckered into dropping $30 on a bottle at Plymouth. He said he sold the first 18 for about $20 and then jacked the price on the last six to see what the market would bear. He had one left after mine, so I guess I am not the only sucker. The guy talked my ear off and has a serious ax to grind with Surly and how limited the releases of wet, surly fest, and darkness are. He specifically called out a customer named Nate who he thinks called the distributor on him. Also, calling him to ask him if he has something is a sure way to get him to increase the price.


I also managed to pick up a 4 pack of abrasive in St Cloud and I had considerable sticker shock on that one as well. I'm looking forward to getting some furious on tap at home starting Nov 18th! I hope you guys get more bourbon county this year, that would be some real beer karma. Thanks!

 

Was this at Plymouth Liquor? Because he lied to you about when he jacked up the price. It was $30 from the beginning because I stopped in when they had 22 bottles and gave it the ol' "fuck that." I know the guy you're talking about and am not a fan. He also uses the same dad jokes every time (edit: not that there's anything wrong with dad jokes, this guy is just sad). And why would he tell you he marked up the price? That's so arrogant!

But that all depends on if this was at Plymouth Liquor....

 

Still a pile of bottles at Andy's in Roch. $25.99 per
