I wish...Bell's isn't currently distributed in NJ. Makes looking for this, or any other Bell's offering (HopSlam!) tough.

Ah, my bad...

Yep, and only about 400 bottles released as well. Super limited beer.

I tried Black Note at the Great Taste last year in Madison. Pretty damn good.

Never had this beer, so this post made me pick up a 6 pack tonight at the store. Was a bit expensive, but I know from browsing it's the only place in town that has it.

It was clearly dated 2012 on the bottle. So I imagine this is a beer that could possibly get aged? What's a good length of age for these? I tried one fresh and wasn't very impressed.

These get better with age. A year is good, but longer is even better!

Sadly I started aging in 2008:-)

$10 a 6pk is a great deal for an awsome barleywine. $10 a 4pk is still worth it.
But it makes me want to buy a 2nd case of 2012 to put away so I can even have more to age. I never drink it until it has been a year old, and once I start I cant keep my hands off of it, to last any longer!

Fortunately a six pack is $7.96 here!

A four pack will probably remain the same price as the six pack.

If prices keep going up, I may have to redouble my efforts on tunneling to the brewery (I live less than four miles away)!:-)

Lagunitas is opening a second brewery in Chicago:

This news actually broke about about a month ago, but it all happened so fast that it seems to have flown under most people's radar.

This is great for Chicago:-)
