    TL;DR

    South Lyndale, France 44, Zipps, Stinson Wine Beer and Spirits, and Blue Max are a handful that are normally named.

    This. Although I will buy beer there when I'm stocking up on my wife's favorite wine, which is $10.97 vs. $17.99 at AV#3 (which is probably less than half the size of TW Burnsville, but probably has more than twice the cooler space).

    On topic: is there any chance of finding a bottle of Xocoveza Charred this late?

    Before I tell you all about the humble origins of my billion dollar revenue employer, anyone's thought on Surly Blakkr. For some reason I feel like I've saw this sit on the shelves even in the summer.

    Why is january abrasive first hitting shelves in feb? Wouldn't it make sense to make less beer and sell it and then make more fresh beer so people who like fresh beer buy the fresh beer? I thought surly was brewed in MN, so shouldn't we be getting week old abrasive or something like that? :astonished:

    I have a feeling Abrasive sales are slower as more and more competitors enter the market. I'm curious to see how long we'll see Hopslam sitting around as well. Abrasive is just one of many options that are at better price points.

    Just called nova to see if they had any sump left...they do not for anyone wanting to make the drive for that bottle. Figured it sold out pretty quick but you never know with assassin, SR71 and KBBS hanging around for multiple days

    Maybe if they start making it year round and it drops to 9.99/4 pack, it will start flying off the shelves. I'd buy a couple a week at that price if it was fresh.

    I feel $13/4pk is manageable if it's fresh. $10 and I'm there all day.

    Mini cellar sale at South lyndale. 2011 and 2012 stone old guardian, alaskan smoked porter, alaskan barley wine, alaskan perseverance imperial stout. I grabbed the last 6 of 2012 Bigfoot. They also had a lot of "vintage" blushing monk...
