    Not the twin cities but Cognac and Rye Abyss hit Rochester this morning.

    Thanks for the tip, that bottle is now mine.

    Thanks to the others that posted locations as well.

    Did this with a '10-'13 right before '14 came out and pretty much it went '10 > '12 > '13 > '11. I have one more vert uh now '10-'14 and didn't bother with anything else after trying '14 on tap (after buying my bottle) and was saddened. $4$ it's not that great, but I did stumble across a Rye the other day when I was going to just grab my annual 4 pack of Bigfoot to continue that vert (now that's a beer that ages magically).

    Random one. I thought I saw this one at Lunds yesterday but I just called and they were out. Looking for Clown Shoes Bill vs. the Mosquitoes.

    Edit: Yes I know this is an old IPA.

    Stumbled on some 12/10 Abrasive at the EP Muni on Den Rd. They also had Dosvidanya and Rye Dosvidanya.

    Total Wine in Maple Grove still has a ton of Abrasive in the cooler. But, make sure you check dates. The Oct cans are right next to the Dec cans. Didn't find any Jan cans.

    Might try giving Vintage out in Chanhassen a call. Could've sworn I saw this in their cooler the other day but not 100% certain.

    This must be a very recent religious conversion since, like, Black Friday. Although those weren't bombers... :wink:

    I just do it so I can share $25 shelf turds with my neighbors. They have a stockpile of great beers, so I show up with Abyss turds and enjoy their beers!
    They are difficult to deal with otherwise, one is a Bears fan too. That helps.

    I got a buddy heading up to the metro area. Anyone have an idea of the last abyss variants sighting?
