Game of Thrones Beers - Ommegang

Has anyone seen/found/had "Take the Black Stout" yet? Ommegang's site "says" you can look for where it's distributing, but it never works for me. I know it started in September and is going state by state (where it distributes, and it DOES distribute to Michigan).

Gah; I missed the Iron Throne Lager which was supposed to be great; I don't want to miss this one!

    They had it at my usual liquor store last weekend. I didn't get any though.

    I'm going back tomorrow. I'll see if they still have any.

    I think I saw it at one of my local beer-stops. Don't know if there's a limit. Almost bought one. Should I? And if so, where do you live? I may be able to ship you one?

    Wow, you found it that recently? I did manage to find one--I swear it was probably the last one in the Metro-Detroit area. You should probably definitely pick it up; it's very limited, and a pretty prized element on the beer trade market.

    If you'd like to trade something, I might not be adverse to getting another! I haven't tried it yet (we're saving it until the first "snow"... ha), but I'm definitely looking to acquire some Three Floyd's in beer trading and a GoT beer might make me stand out a little.

    I'll have to stop by and see what Game of Thrones one it is. I know it's a GoT beer, just not sure if it is the Black or not. I swear it was. I'll call and see. If you want to trade, I might be able to do that. What Three Floyd's are you looking for? I have friends that head down towards Chicago quite often, and may be able to score you some TF.

    You're making me tingle with all of these offers! If it was actually the Iron Throne lager, YES, I WILL TRADE YOU FOR IT. For Three Floyd's, Zombie Dust in particular, but pretty much open to anything by them. I'm hoping to get some, honestly, for my husband's Christmas gift since he's perhaps more entranced by them than I.

    Zombie Dust is stellar. I actually do my own version of it. It's pretty good.

    I'll look in to it and see what I can get.

    Well, I went to the local shop, and they had sold the last bottle of Take the Black Stout the day before I went there. I was pretty sad. Sorry!!!

    Haha, it's okay! I wasn't too confident--that beer is like the rarest baseball card.

    I've seen it plenty (and it's fabulous!). If you're still looking I'd consider a trade.
