    The only possible way I could get more chub from this photo is if Natalie Portman were standing on those barrels. Indeed really needs to rethink its marketing strategy to incorporate more Natalie Portman.

    Lots of barrels there, should be be enough for everyone if most are acceptable for the blend.

    Don't think Minneapolis will allow an overnight bottle share (like Darkness Day), but i might get in line.... sometime in September.

    It will be interesting to see on this the turnout is like. While I know BA folks will show in large numbers Rum King is still a little known quantity for the masses especially when you compare it to Darkness. Was at the B&B on Tuesday drinking Rum King and a couple next to us notice that Darkness was being poured he made mentioned that it was a big deal, and he order Darkness but never made mention of Rum King. Also look at other releases last year that could/should have been packed and sold out: TH barrel age week you could still but growlers days after, BA Silhouette the online tickets of 500-600? took weeks to sell out. Might not be the same level for me but you could pick up bottles of before the dawn for a few days. I know it will be busy and I think it will be dependent on the bottle count and limit as far as making the masses happy. I had no problem last year with the limit of 3.

    They've got a lot of nerve doing this on a weekend that some guys are out of town.
