    Any word on when this might land in the Twin Cities? I've heard everything from possibly this week through the end of the month.

    Draft release is next Thursday at Pracna. Not sure if metro bottles will be released sooner or later.

    I heard next week as well. Does anyone know if they did more than 1 bottling date. If I'm not mistaken the first date was 10/2 which if next week is the case would have been about 3 weeks ago.... so faded already :wink:

    Like a couple years ago, I'm hoping this doesn't hit our market until it's had a chance to mature about a month in the bottle. Don't want to drink this one too fresh.

    Considering that it was bottled on 10/2, you won't have an issue with it being a month old... It hit Madison today.

    Yeah, three or four days short of a month is much fresher.

    My source tells me middle of November.

    But that's only because i want it all to myself. Local metro sales rep seems to think a week or two or from 10/17 when I asked.

    I assume with the draft release thur at Pracna we'll see it within a week

    Stinson Wine and spirits said delivery was delayed a week, not sure why.

    Could just be using new caps. I noticed my FBS caps were plain, too.

    Weird, when I got there I found one lone 4 pack on top of the Centennial IPA display and the beer guy said it was a one four pack limit.

    I pretty much arrived when the shipment did. It was buried under the centen when I was there. May have not had a limit established yet
