    I was just told that it was released early (July?) this year. Is there any still around MSP? Looking forward to Warlock also but I know that's not until Sept.

    I haven't seen it yet, but I have seen last years still around at places.

    Where? I'll call ahead then go grab a few bottles. I'm especially interested in Warlock but either/or.

    I thought I saw Warlock at Falls Liquor relatively recently. Also at Hudson's in Casanova. You'd need to call to confirm at both places though.

    If they follow suit with last year, which was also released early... it will be readily available in multiple batches through to October/November.

    I can't remember specifically since the stores become blur, but I usually hit the west metro in Hopkins, Minnetonka, Golden Valley (specifically the few on 55), Maple Grove (mostly Princeton's) and Albertville/St Michael.

    I don't recall seeing any left over Warlock, but Pumpking for sure with in at least the past few months.

    Saw about three cases of Pumking at Casanova last week. $7.99/bottle.

    IIRC, the bottle label is different this year, so I believe everything I have seen in MSP recently is leftovers.

    More than a week ago, I picked up new Pumking (new label) and Warlock at Premier Wines & Spirits in Osseo. Then, last Saturday, I picked up more :slight_smile: It should be everywhere by now.

    I can confirm that Premiere has this years Pumking and Warlock. Cleaned them out though, so...

    FT: Pumking and Warlock ISO: Assassin, VSB, VSP or Saga.

    Hmmm. Southern Tier's own site says Sept. for Warlock.

    Not sure what/where you mean.

    Same as above. How is Warlock even available yet?

    Neither yet at France 44, Surdyk's, MGM Calhoun, Liquor Barrel, Hum's, Lowry Hill, or Kowalski's Uptown. I'm currently restricted to the Metro Transit so I can't get very far out of the immediate area although I can get Summit Saga quite easily at several places.

    That is odd, but I checked the born on date and it was this year. The person that checked me out was surprised it was in already, but did comment on the distributor for ST being all over the place and not very good for craft beer. Not sure how that gets it us early unless they were suppose to hold on to it until Sept.

    Pumking and Warlock will both be available in "The Metro" next week is what I meant.

    I have heard mixed reviews on aging Pumking and Warlock, but if anyone is interested. Westside Liqours in Albertville has a few of last years Warlock (bod 10/13). They also already have this years Pumking.
