Twin Cities Bottle Hunt

Grabbed some Death by Coconut at the Nova. I think they only received a single case.

 

F44 has at least 5 cases as of last night

 

Costco Maple Grove is out of Utopias TW in MG had 2 left @ 199 45 minutes ago. Also TW had 4 pks of Backwoods Bastard no limit.

 

Costco St. Louis Park did not have Abrasive, which made me sad. They do, however, have a Boulevard 750ml 3 pack for $23.99, which includes Tank 7, Rye on Rye, and Imperial Stout.

 

Sounds like their may have been some allocation shenanigans and/or errors with some places getting lots and some places getting almost none.

 

According to one of my locals that's exactly what happened...many stores who had Thursday deliveries were shorted

 

Schram has bottles in stores now. Mocha Monkey and Blonde Ale so far. They are $9.99 per 750ml.

 

$9.99 for a 750ml of Blonde Ale? Ouch...good luck with that.

 

I agree. It is not like it is anything special anyway. The Mocha Monkey Coffee Ale is a good beer otherwise. Never had anything from their bottles however.

 

Not sure why new breweries would want to price themselves out of the market before they even get started, but hey...what do I know?

 

Haskells MG has NH Dragons Milk Reserve with coffee and chocolate added. 3.99 a bottle

 

And no one would of expected Excelsior Brewing would out sell their production capacity. But here we are.

 

Big heads with all the publicity from Taste of Minnesota maybe...but as stated ...a blonde in a bomber...even the people who like Excelsior can't fall for this...

 

For some reason Blue Max always gets screwed on the limited Founders runs, has happened for years. Generally at some point they get a second shipment, but they never know. It is more of a distributor issue than anything else because they do sell a fair amount of all the Founders beers. If they are limiting it like that they got no more than two cases

 

ISO Toppling Goliath's P-sue. I'm sending a friend a care package and wouldn't mind finding some to round out the package. If it's available anywhere??

 

I've seen it at Total Wine Roseville, Haskells WBL and Forest Lake MGM, just to name a few in the past week.

 

picked up some fresh sue at haskells in ridgedale on friday.

princetons also posted it up last week.

 

Sue at Lakeridge Liquors, Vadnais Heights

 

Anyone know if Minnesota will get TG XHops Gamma? Perhaps I missed it...
