    It's just my opinion, no need to freak out...

    I think it depends where you are. I've seen multiple posts on here about it being available in Maple Grove, but I have not found it anywhere in Minneapolis in or around Downtown or the North Loop. Stinson told me they're getting it next week.

    Has anyone heard/seen anything different?

    Original reports were the 16th for release so it was a bit odd seeing it.

    MG seems to get things about 2-3 days ahead of time always, probably near the distributors warehouses.

    I'm guessing if Stinson gets it next week, the rest of the metro gets it then too. I haven't seen any Twitter posts or other places reporting it. Falls liquor down by me has been on the ball with releases (Twitter) when they come in lately, so they haven't gotten it yet

    I went to TW Roseville yesterday hoping they would have Rum King but was told that only MG TW had it right now. Seems odd.

    Strange. MG must have had 40 cases in the cooler

    I need that face again. Defs not a freak out. Just thought your opinion was misguided.

    FYI, I’m raffling off (chances to buy) Perennial Abraxas at Scott’s Liquor. No purchase necessary, just sign up in the store.

    Bumping this one. Anyone seen it? I know distribution is weird with these sometimes. I saw Tidal Disruption in WI a couple of weeks before it hit shelves in the cities

    I actually like pumpkin beers and haven't been able to find any. Both Ale Jail and the Midway Target liquor store (expected, I suppose) had none and it's just mid October. Granted, that's only 2 liquor stores I've tried so maybe others have some but perhaps I needed to buy them in August? Anyone seen any recently? I like North Gate's Pumpion quite a bit.

    I did pick up a pick-6 from Ale Jail that included some from The Brewing Projekt that I'm excited to try.

    Per Brooklyn Center Liquor's tweetism:

    "BC liquor announces its 1st ever @surlybrewing week of #darkness Mon 2012 Tues 2013 Wed 2014 Thur 2015 and Fri 2016 will be released st1 9am"

    Be interesting to see the price tag on the older bottles.

    That's because they all came out in July

    brewing project has some GOOD stuff. Wait until their seasonal single hop series hits here. I was drinking it all summer at the cabin in WI

    I went to one of their rare beer release Sundays in July and I can't remember exact prices on Darkness but both me and the person I was with weren't biting.

    Foggy Geezer with 10/5 canning date at SLL. Taste reminds me of Hooey

    Picked up some Rum King from Top Ten Andover. Also grabbed some fresh Hooey and Blissful. Great selection!
