    They are laser stamped on the neck of the bottle, some easier to see than others.

    The Lightspeed has it printed (faintly) on the neck of the bottle. But I couldn't find a date on Pompeii

    Don't know how much Itasca Zipps got but shit was all gone by the time I got there today...

    They had a few cases of stone americano and maybe ten bottles of Gose Gone Wild. The also had three bottles left of Tilquin Oude Gueze, which I passed on for no apparent reason. They were priced at 12 bucks which IIRC is like 4 dollars cheaper than the last time I saw it...

    Elevated just sent out an email. I know these beers aren't really rare anymore though according to some people (@mothman)

    I suppose I might think about passing on Rullquin and yet I am still excited for Rullquin²

    Trust me, I'm as confused as you are...I think I was too crushed about not getting Itasca.

    Heritage had three bottles of Itasca Lunidragon left after I grabbed mine, limit one. They also have a few Omnipollo. I grabbed Symzonia, which appeared to be the last one, but I believe the clerk said they have some more. Plenty of 2/3/16 Lightspeed.

    TW Roseville has, what i'd guess, 20 four packs of BBBW behind their tasting table left, out of Itasca Lunidragon, and a fair amount of Lightspeed as well. de kleine dood from CW was in stock too.

    Edit: Called 1st Grand Liquors, and they said their Clown Shoes rep was in yesterday, and didn't even mention Itasca. Nothing yet. The new Cub liquor on White Bear Ave, right next to 694 thought they may get some next week.

    Itasca was allocated this time around, so the rep probably didn't mention it for a reason.

    So did the most recent batch of Pompeii make it to the metro? If so, where can it be found (preferably South Minneapolis area)?
