    Rum King release!
    Oct 11.


    GEAR UP FOR HULLABALOO 2014 Back for a third year is Hullabaloo on Saturday, October 11th, bringing a line-up of rootsy music and flowing craft beer to our parking lot in Northeast and celebrating all things harvest. This year we’re looking forward to the possible addition of a traveling “cask wagon,” Mr. Sweet Yamma Jamma Head craft stations, and the release of Rum King, an Imperial Stout we’ve been aging in Jamaican rum barrels. This is an all-day, zero-waste event.

    I know they did said they will have more rum king this year, but I wonder how much more and how early you will have to get into line to get one.

    I really want a bottle this year, but can't camp out overnight.

    Does anyone know what the bottle quantity was like last year, and how fast they sold out?

    Never tried Rum King yet, hoping to get a shot at it!

    Some other BAs I talked to confirmed that bottles will be released at Hullabaloo, but I wasn't able to dig up info on the web, Twitter or Facebook.

    Anybody see any confirmation?

    Last January it was 360 bottles, sold out in approx 2.5 hours, but not at Hullabaloo. It was a separate event.

    Wish the Rum King event was a separate event - will be much more crowded now.

    it was not hard to get last year if you were down there when it went onsale but it did sell out fast. they announced like the day before too, though, so that helped.

    Hey Troy! Looks like it starts at 12pm according to City Pages, but who knows if that is correct. That's a long day! http://www.citypages.com/events/hullabaloo-2014-3456017/

    Someone on Twitter just asked and it appears as though the plan is to sell bottles at the event.

    Thank you! No one quotes sources anymore... Looking forward to this! It will be cool to get bottles, but mostly I just want to try this beer finally.

    As an aside, "rootsy" music sounds much better than whatever happens at Darkness Day normally, but that's just me.

    Would you imagine they will be available as soon as the event starts that day, or would it be something more towards the end?

    Congrats in advance. Don't worry, there's some good folk here. I'm sure someone would crack a bottle with ya (if nothing else to celebrate that engagement!). I'd be happy to if I get a bottle.

    Thanks, I really appreciate it (my wallet might not, but I do), and yeah I'm sure I know of maybe a few people that may pop one open when I am around.

    So if anyone picks up more than one and would be willing to part with it hit me up for a trade!
