    A couple more options:
    Downtown - Haskell's (literally in the middle of downtown and completely walkable)
    Edina - Edina Liquor Store (3 locations, could find the one closest to where she will be)

    Also Four Firkins and SLP Liquor Barrel are pretty close to Edina, depending on where she will be.

    MGM Eagan on Pilot Knob Rd and Diffley.

    The owner has gone out of his way to create a really nice place for craft beer in the 'burbs. Great staff too!

    Drinking it now...it's more malt forward than last year...if memory serves.

    It's delicious!

    Abrasive has always been a massive grapefruit bomb! Once you cracked a can, it was like squeezing a grapefruit into your nose! I'd be bummed it that characteristic wasn't present this year.

    It's present, no need to worry. Seems exactly the same this year as it always has been, amazing.

    Completely agree. I sure hope its not more malt forward. Will have it on tap at the release this afternoon so wishing its as hoppy as ever.

    I snagged a couple 4 packs. Now I gotta try and not break my no beer during the week rule.

    Oh, the grapefruit is definitely there...but it IS more malt forward this year.

    That does not detract from how great this beer is...it's just a bit different from last year, YMMV.

    LOL...I doubt much of anything. Just calling it how my palate perceives it!

    Nothing I've said should be taken negatively...really.
