So I am heading from IL to MN next weekend going through WI. We take 94 all the way up through the WI Dells, etc. Want to know if any places near or on the highway heading up through there might have TG. Any help is appreciated!
Let me know if you want to work out an IP trade on your way through I can meet you at a park and ride right off 94. I'm looking for some half acre/pipeworks.
Liquor Central, just off Exit 92, is one of TG's regular stops for bottles, and the Showboat Saloon in the Dells often has TG available in growlers.
The Coffee Grounds in Eau Claire is another place that gets TG beer, and is just a dam good bottle shop in general. Casanova's as of last week had just gotten a ton of Zeelander, had some Golden Nugget left (doubt they have any at this point), and got a shipment earlier this week of Dorthy's which is their only beer that doesn't fly off the shelves. I would call ahead before your trip because it is very likely some stores will have something others might not given how limited their distribution is and how fast it flies off the shelf.
this is a quick stop right off 94. if you don't see it on the shelves, ask. sometimes they'll leave it in the back.
Thanks all. I think this gives me a bunch of places to check out on my trip. FYI., if anyone has King Sue, I am looking for some so BM me and/or check out my FT post. Thanks again, much appreciated.
I am driving this route tomorrow so I am going to stop at all these places and scoop up all the TG ahead of you in classic FIB style!!! Just kidding (obviously, I hope)
If you're looking for another stop along I-94 (exit 28 in WI - about a 1/2 hour from the WI/MN border) on your IL-MN trip, the BrewFarm is open this weekend (9/20-21) and the following week (9/27-28) from 2-8 p.m. each of those days. I've got eight unique rotating drafts and liters for take-away.
