    I figured people would be looking for where it's on tap. Post here where you find it and the cost so we can all complain about it together.

    Valley Tap House on the 14th at 4PM. The prices for beer at the Tap House have veered from perfectly reasonable to WTF in the past, so who knows where this one will fall.

    I'll be there, probably with clothes on, & a wife who is much nicer than I am.

    Valley tap House has a Groupon or living social deal, don't remember which. Bit this will make those prices a bit more bearable

    Does this taste like sweet repute? If not any comparisons?

    $8 for 8 ounces at Buffalo Tap in Savage - bartender expected it to last maybe 2-3 days (tapped Nov. 11). I was impressed with the quality of the beer (especially compared to last two years of anniversary beers from Surly)

    Weird... I've had Surly Eight 4 days in a row at Dakota Jazz, loved the beer. Today i tried a bottle and totally different experience... Slightly sour, not as sweet, and oddly brett character?

    Anyone else notice this?

    I hope it's not infected! I assumed this beer in the bottle would be the same as on tap...

    youd think it'd be okay. I am gonna try to find it on tap this weekend. I figured more kegs would PPP up. Might have to crack a bottle too compare.

    Try at the Dakota Jazz, no cover before 7PM. Cheapest price around at $6.50 a 10oz pour and was told yesterday they had another full keg they'll put on once their current keg kicks. I'll be going back tomorrow for a comparison at 4PM.

    Tasted fine to me after waxing some bottles a few weeks ago.

    I cracked one open last night. It was a little thin (just like those who attended ABR said). Other than that, it was fantastic; not one sign of infection.
