Twin Cities Bottle Hunt

according to Lagunitas, they expect it to hit shelves within 1 to 2 days of bottling.

 

Great to hear Alpine is in the Twin Cities.

Now, is there any chance we'll ever see Russian River distributed in MN?

Please...pretty please...with a cherry on top...

 

Yes. That appears to be Imperial Stout X - Tart Cherry.

 

Yes it is...

 

Russian River pulled back distribution from Washington and Oregon. One of the beer shop owners said that they were teetering on bankruptcy. I don't know how that is possible, but I will say that I was in San Diego, Portland, and Seattle this summer and saw none in stores.

 

Wow. If valid, that's rather disappointing news. Thanks for the info, however.

 

I got to think bankruptcy would be hard to believe...

"the brewery has reached the absolute limits of its capacity, around 14,100 barrels per year, or about 437,100 gallons...

Vinnie Cilurzo have no plans to expand the brewery. They have nearly paid off their initial investment, she said, and they have been gradually buying out the original investors to consolidate the privately-held company in their own hands.

"People can't understand why we don't want to grow our brewery," she said, "That's the American way."

But there are other things that are more important, Vinnie Cilurzo said, like a good quality of life and not digging themselves into a financial hole."

Looks like Flight of the Angry Beast is at Zipps. If anyone sees it in the north suburbs, I've been dying to try it.

 

Has anyone seen any Bells 30th Anniversary this week, while Darkness hunting? Thanks!

 

Yes, now just trying to remember where...

I think TW Woodbury had some as of last week.

 

Downtown Lunds.

 

I'd hate to see this happen, but this article is over two years old. A lot could have happened in that time, espically with the water shortage.

 

Liquor Barrel New Brighton had one six pack yesterday (10/26).

 

Born yesterday and more Castle Danger mosaic fresh hop at south lyndale. They also had clown shoes coffee pecan pie porter, which I skipped. Maybe someone else would be interested in that.

 

TW Roseville had single bottles for sale on Monday.

 

born yesterday at liquor barrel golden valley, ale jail, heritage, falls, and princetons.

 

Liquor Boy has a whole row of singles for the incredibly low price of $5.99! WOOOOOOWOWOWOOWOWW!

 

MGM has LTD Sleep Walker triple IPA. I didn't know they bottled. They also had BBA templeton double bastard.

 

BA Rasputin on the shelf at Princetons. Plenty of Castle Danger Mosaic but no Backwoods left.

 

hopefully thats better than their night mare bottles. those were pretty horrendous.
