    Does anyone know the last date they canned this on? The most recent date I have seen is 02/08/13. P.S. what places still have Abrasive in stock? I'd love to pick up another 4 pack before it's too late.

    Liqour Barrel (Golden Valley) - 2/15 @ $15.49
    Four Firkins - 2/15 @ $16.99
    Sids Discount in Plymouth - 2/8 (didn't get price)

    I'm not 100% sure about those prices, but I know that LBGV was at least a buck cheaper than 4F on Saturday.

    Thanks those are all very close to me and LBGV is usually my go-to spot. Cheers

    Todd tweeted "See you in 8 months old friend," along with a picture of Abrasive coming off the canning line.

    I have enjoyed many 4 packs during this 4 month run, I will have to grab one or 2 more before they go away.

    Yeah, I'm finding a few locations with the 02/04/13 date stamp. Definitely want to find a 03/04/13 date IMMEDIATELY! Want to taste a fresh Abrasive Ale for the last time in 2013. Anybody?

    Glad to have helped.
    But that's too far a drive for me - anyone seen 3/4 cans north or west of Plymouth?
    Thanks

    Four Firkins has the batch without the date code (in between 2/15 & 3/4) in their coolers but....
    wait for it.......

    Ask for the beer they got in today, that's in the back - 3/4/13!
