    While I'm hoping to find Darkness still on tap at the airport tomorrow has anyone seen it anywhere in St. Paul? How about over near Woodbury?

    Also, this might be a dumb question, but has there been any Abrasive (tap or cans) sightings near those areas? Thanks.

    AH sweet, I love 8th St Grill, especially when I have no idea what to order I just have em spin the wheel :slight_smile: I know the owner quite well and I credit him on their beer selection all the time. Good to hear they got the Darkness, bummer it'll likely be gone by the next time I'm down there (possibly next Thursday)

    Yes, it was at ABR, I want to say two falls ago, on cask if memory serves. It was bloody awful. I took three sips trying to convince myself it wasn't & poured the rest out. The '06 BA Darkness, on the other hand, was sublime.

    I came in to post about it being at MSP airport, but see I was beat to the punch. Not sure if I was just lucky or it's standard but I got a full pint as my pour. 16oz. of Darkness for only $1.50 more than a Leinie's or Amstel Light. I win. This'll make the flight just fly by!

    hopefully I can find some Darkness at the airport. I will be staying a Hilton in Bloomington, MN. Any chance to find it around that area?

    Rochester: The Tap House tonight, 11/12/13, 1800 hrs. Tap House has two kegs. It's unclear if they will tap both but I would have to assume they will due to the overwhelming demand at Whislte Binkies last week.

    Apparently Wildwoods in Rochester is tapping a keg tomorrow at 5. Never been there so I have no idea what it's like.

    10.99$ per 12 oz. Way over priced.

    that's the same price (or cheaper, in some cases) than a bottle at the store

    The thing is there are so few places in Rochester that get quality releases so it's easy to compare. 10.99/12 oz is way overpriced compared to $5/12 oz at both Whistle Binkies.

    Edit: Thanks ShawnP for the heads up since pricing can be an issue at The Tap House whereas Whistle Binkies consistently any limited draft at $4/$5 a pour.
