UPDATE: Here’s another pic via drewba on Beer Advocate. Looks like it was released in 4-packs (for those that wanted all four).

UPDATE 2: Here’s the BA thread on the event. Similar sentiments in the RateBeer thread.

(Munster, IN) – I didn’t attend (let’s face it, I never attend) but here were some random tweets that I plucked from today’s XV Baller Stout release party revelers…
