If the meek shall inherit the earth, the unemployed shall inherit the Divine Reserve.

Or so it usually goes come DR day, when, while most of us are stuck at the office, the out-of-work or seriously devoted are lining up to take home cases of Saint Arnold's annual limited release.

This year, the DR is an ultra-hoppy Double IPA. The smell permeates as soon as you've popped the top, and people are loving it, though some suggest it'll be at its best in a year or two, if you can hang onto it that long.

We set out just after the earliest lines had dissipated to update you fine folk about who still had the hook up and where you might expect to score a six-pack later in the week (those distributors can be tricky — just ask the beverage manager at the Shepherd Randall's).

If you plan to go on the hunt, you should note that most grocery stores don't put the DR out for the plebeian masses. It's usually in the back, and some stores have a wait list to make sure their loyal customers get their share. If you make nice, though, you can usually leave with a six pack — just ask!

And beware the DR hoarders. There are those — like the couple who was at the first three stops I made — who go from store to store buying up their limit (usually two six-packs per person) at each stop. Have they no love for the hard-working masses?

For those of you who tried last year's Divine Reserve, a much sweeter English barleywine with much milder hops, tell us — how does #DR11 compare? Do you love it like we do?
