    Just looking for advice on what not to miss trying while I'm here. I'll be up here for the next three weeks. I would like to get my hands on some Darkness, if there is any left to be had. I am bringing a few things up with me: '12 Dark Lord, '12 KBS, '12 Big Hugs, '12 Bourbon County Coffee, and a couple New Glarus offerings. If any one is interested in a trade or maybe a tasting, please just send me a message.

    Surly Abrasive is around. Pizza Luce in Saint Paul and Republic in Minneapolis are good spots for beer/food..

    I sent you a BM as well.

    There is Darkness (as of 11am today) @ Surdyk's in NE, but they priced it at 27$, you might be better off trading.

    Other places that got more were putting it at $19-$20. Surdyk's - $27. One more reason to support that wonderful establishment.

    Ridiculous, it shouldn't be more than $20

    Hey, that's a $10 discount from last year! The "same half-dozen guys, beer people that have nothing to do, apparently, but drive around looking for beer" (http://blogs.citypages.com/food/201...rms_over_price_gouging_for_surly_darkness.php) must have had an effect on Jimmy. :wink:

    Maybe next year his prices will be in line with the rest of the stores... I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

    I have a bottle of Darkness 2012 for trade. I am interested in the KBS or Dark Lord. How many KBS's would you trade for a Darkness?

    If I were you I'd check out the Indeed Brewing Taproom & Dangerous Man Brewing Tap Room in NE Minneapolis, and the Fulton Tap Room in DT Minneapolis. All are great.

    I really appreciate how awesome all the Twin City BAs have been. Thank you to everyone that I traded with. I'm heading back to Chicago, but look forward to the next time I'm in Minneapolis
