And released only on one day.
It's Russian River's equivalent to Dark Lord Day, and they had a similar experience as did 3 Floyds - on the day that they were releasing it (this is a few years back) they had lines out the door for miles. A total clusterphcuk beyond epic proportions, where regular patrons were squeezed out by beer Ahabs just chasing a whale. The owners almost cancelled doing it ever again, but tried to modify how they did it, so they now reserve kegs for the bar and for loyal beer bars (like Toronado in San Francisco and San Diego), and limit how much they sell the day of.
Now that I have your attention....I owe you a box. I was going to ship it a weekish or two ago, but you were showing Mrs O a good time in Vegas, and I didn't want this languishing in the brutal heat of a Minnesota spring. Or letting Little O get his hands on it. Either way - I gots busy, and then started navel staring or sumtin....Anywho - look for something sweet on your beer horizon....
