    Seems like it should be right around now. Not on facebook so not sure if they have posted anything on there or not. Thanks if you have any insight.

    Rave salesman told me they have no date, January 18 is the expected, nothing is 100%. But I've seen places already setting up events

    My go-to store said they didn't have the date yet but between the 15th and 20th.

    On the Bell's website there is a listing for a release at Binny's LP on 3 Feb so I suspect the Chicago area will not see it until the week of 1 Feb. I believe it was the first week of Feb last year too.

    My untappd is showing that I first checked in the 2015 version back on 1/14 and I would have cracked it open the same night I bought it:grinning:

    1/18 that a couple have mentioned doesn't sound too far off that date so it seems like they are roughly on schedule. Can't wait to try the canned version...

    Sheffields is doing their Hopslam event on Jan 26th. I assume that last week of January it hits Chicago area.

    It's a week late this year. My Untappd shows I had my first one on Jan 11 the last 2 years, and Jan 9 the year before that.

    Bell's just posted an update in the last hour that stated they recently received the cans. They still have to fill and send out for distro so your request is not looking good being that it's already Wednesday afternoon.

    Yeah, I heard from a good source that cans weren't shipping from Bell's to distributors until Monday at the earliest
