    Any recent sightings of Pentagram? Preferably in Maple Grove or Eden Prairie?

    A bit father away, but MGM and Big Discount Liquors in Eagan both had it on Monday. On the shelf at MGM, behind the counter at Big Discount. Both with a one bottle limit.

    I know Pentagram demands a premium due to the time spent aging but the price point above $20 is unacceptable. Higher price points may turn Surly bombers into shelf turds.

    I spoke to Jim at Blue Max when Pentagram first landed and he said he was expecting a few more shipments and the distributor had a warehouse full. I don't know if warehouse full means 100 cases or 1000 cases.

    Interesting. A guy new to trading asked me for a case last night, told him they didn't exactly sell it by the case, but they may be able too. I also informed him how much it was, he promptly said forget it.

    The St. Anthony Village muni (the smaller store near Cub, not the bigger one on Cty Rd. 88) had several cases of Pentagram yesterday for $19.99. The clerk said it's just not selling this year.

    Noted. I will leave my Pentagrams at home in the cellar when I come to Minneapolis for bottle shares. :slight_smile:

    I'd be OK with Surly sending some of those bottles of Pentagram collecting dust up there in the Twin Cities down to Des Moines. I can guarantee they'll fly off shelves here, regardless of price!

    I've never had to wait as long as 2 weeks; I've got shipments in as little as 5 days. If you don't need bulk, just go in with friends. This isn't really directed at you but just what I tell people in general (I've "shared" etre and biab with lots of people). Cheers!

    Pentagram: $18.99, Love Child #4: $8:39 = no brainer.

    Love Child is only $8.39 there (that's half of what it costs most places)? And you are finding #4 already???
