Angry Orchard has some good different flavors as well. I like strongbow the best.

I was pretty suprised to find some Ovila dubbel tonight, I picked up a couple bottles for the wife. Also picked up some New Belgium Frambozen to try.

Also going to be trading a Darkness for a couple bottles of Goose Island Bourbon County soon!

I found a bottle of darkness tonight for 30 dollars... wondering if I should get it? Not really interested in a bottle for that much. Any of you want it?

$30 is on the higher end, but still normal. I paid anywhere from $22.50 to $30 for each of the 6 I bought.

I was also wondering this today. I haven't seen anything from Surly about it or it at the stores.... It says its a November release on their website... I would think its gotta be soon.

I stopped in to one place and they said their computer showed December but "said" they had no date to give me.

If anyone is interested in a desert beer, I would recommend Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout. I've been disappointed in the past before by chocolate stouts but this one is what I imagine a chocolate stout should be like.

Had some nitro beer for the first time. I dunno if I like it. It was an IPA, don't remember the name.

Is that a decent place to buy online? Are there any decent places to buy online?!

Letspour doesn't ship to MN from what I remember. I've ordered from there and had to have it shipped to my folks place in IA.

Surly announced that the Smoke release party is next Monday, so I'm guessing it will hit stores next week.

I drank the Boubon County Stout last night. That was tasty, has a stronger bourbon flavor that others I've had, also had a really nice smooth finish.

Yay!! Last 4 pack at TC craft

[Jaei Sun]

Hahah! Yeah Chok. Stout! Xmas came early when I went past the Craft section!

There are two 4 packs at a store by me. I'm thinking about buying one.

[rose0529]

Do it! What store is that?

[Trogdor]

Northgate liquors in Blaine.

I already have 2 bottles that I got from Haskell's in North Oaks, and I'm getting a couple more in a week on trade for a Darkness. Not sure I want to spend $21 for another 4.

I enjoy drinking these beers and really tired of some people buying them up just to sell them or collect them, it's beer. Drink it.

I have now been in two stores asking about some items, like Darkness, and been grilled about if I was buying or looking to re-sell. Also told by one place they don't allow a waiting list. Only to come back and ask someone else if they had any Darkness in stock and was told they have two, but they are waiting to be picked up from the waiting/hold list. I'm about ready to go back to Busch Light.
