Simply delicious. If any of you all get to the Triad of North Carolina, Foothills has some awesome beers. Their Sexual Chocolate is also great.

Getting warmer here in Chicago. Think I'll spend some quality time with a few of these before the week is done.

They say that they only run small batches and then allocate a little to each state they deliver to. The one store I went to said they received just two cases last year.

Please tell me this is BS.

nope. it's the truth. most stores will be lucky to get a case. every store around me is getting it tomorrow (weird since i'm in MI, two hours away from the brewery). you have to get lucky to find a place. i went to the release that had 500+ people in line and only 275 cases were sold. a lot of stores by me will have 4pack limits on buying or even bottle limits. the biggest store (the one that gets the most) is already pre-sold out. it's tough to come by

Wow that is depressing. I can't believe they did not even have enough for the people waiting in line at the brewery of all places.
