    First of all, I'll want to apologize to all of the people who clicked this thinking there was probably release information.

    I'm trying to find out from perhaps the locals if anything has been said about this years release? I've typically been working in Cleveland during this release and as it's coming up, I've heard nothing about an event. I checked the website and combed through the forums and saw nothing.

    Anyone have any ideas or heard anything?

    I heard sometime this year, but I'm not a local so take it with a grain of salt.

    Given the views and the lack of replies, perhaps the Ohio residents are taking a page from the book of the "Black Note Secret Society" and not talking about it.

    There hasn't been an official announcement yet by GLBC. When it's official, people will definitely know. It came out mid-Jan last year, but I have no idea how it's going down this year, if, or when.

    No I thought it was normal. That one went fast too. There are people on Untappd drinking it so it might have snuck out

    Release party is Jan. 21st. Tickets on sale soon.

    By the way, that's a Monday so I definitely can't make it. Anyone going from Columbus wanna pick me up some?

    Those are likely folks drinking last year's batch or possibly the non-BA version.

    Well would you look at that! I guess I won't have to work after all.
    I can never keep up with Holidays.

    Just curious though, where did you find that date? I just quickly scoped the GL website and couldn't find it. Not doubting at all (as it was the same weekend last year), merely curious.

    I had emailed the brewery about it a week ago and they got back to me this morning. She did say "planning" on having it on the 21st, so I suppose it could change.
