    Hey, I was all hyped up to go with a few other BA's from Michigan to FFF and get some Zombie Dust tomorrow. Now the trip is looking like a wash... The Brew Pub is out and doesn't sound like they will be putting any out till Monday or later. Any of you Chicago Land BA's know of any bottle shops that I can score at least a few 6'ers of it? It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive for me and I'd be willing to drive to the brew pub and some other bottle shops if I think I can at least get a little bit of that elusive dust among some other goodies. If not, I'll wait until maybe Monday/Tues.
    Any shop names? Addy's/links would help as well, and I can punch it into my GPS and get there with ease. THANKS!

    This is going to be a fruitless quest. It sells out of stores even faster than at the brewery. If you can get to a store on distribution day, you can sometimes pick up a 6er, but that's really hard.

    Take the trip anyway. Alpha King is better. :slight_smile:
    When they reload ZD, they'll have a ton of it again... it's really only a "rare" beer at bottle shops.

    Man, that sucks. If you end up going this weekend, give serious consideration to "just" getting Alpha King. It's a helluva beer. (and yeah, if you're still going this weekend I'd absolutely take some AK from you).

    Damn. I'm swingin' by FFF this afternoon. Was hoping to pick up a case of ZD for the 4th. I'm going to respectfully disagree with all of those that compare Alpha King to ZD. Alpha King was great as my first FFF offering and is still a great beer. However, ZD changed the game and took it up a notch. It's so damn drinkable, balanced, and delicious. We had a "if you could have one beer for the rest of your life" conversation the other day. Zombie Dust was the winner.

    You aren't lying, coming from someone in Ohio. FFFs beer is good, Zombie Dust is really good. Worth driving 2 to 3 hours for?? Maybe. I'm a 5 to 6 hour drive from FFFs, so NO WAY for me. I occasionally pick up Dreadnaught if I see it around, really really good beer. If I had the choice of Dreadnaught or Zombie Dust, it's Dreadnaught 9 of 10 times (I know I know they are not the same style or anything, just a flavor preference).

    Never went to Michigan to buy beer, but I've heard it's a great state to be in for craft beer. Plenty of top notch breweries to represent.

    Good luck on the Zombie Dust search, if/when you decide to pursue it.

    I agree on the "Michigan beer is better" though, but it was still a ton of fun and definitely worth the drive. :slight_smile: I'd go again in a heartbeat.
