    I heard it's not as good as the first batch, and no longer hazy :rolling_eyes:

    I think it has to do with the running joke that the new batch or current years release is never as good as the last batch or last years release.

    Edina has no limits on Darkness, but I was a little disappointed in the cake eater price of $23 per bottle.

    Jeez, and I heard about it the old fashioned way by asking the beertender (and then pinky swearing not to tell...)

    I must say Darkness 17 at least on tap Saturday was really good. I have only had 11-17 but I would say 12 is my or 15.

    I wish I would have found some more Drekker Nightman cometh though! They have me sucked in after tasting the Ectogasm.

    Also good to know the Spirit Foul is making a return I need to taste this!

    I’m not sure how many of each will be available, but Barrel Theory will have Crowlers of every pale ale and stout they currently have on tap today.

    For anyone curious they had their coolers completely full but most people were grabbing around 4-6 crowlers per person with a line of about 15-20 right after the doors opened don't know how long they will last especially Rain Drops. I think they were $9 for all of them except rain drops was $10.

    anyone see Great Divides fresh hop around? If so, what price are you seeing? Looks like 6 pack cans this year. It's never the best, but it's always solid IMO.
