Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2016 Edition

maybe we need to start a TC Keg hunt thread.. (im kidding...) but i thought a few may be interested in this...

Heritage..

 

Damnit I need a kegerator

 

and on another note, Todd was canned today. hitting soon..

 

Can't wait for Todd!

 

Drop the price to $10 and it would sell.

 

I wonder how many cases of abrasive Johnson has still on hand.. Maybe I'll try to find out

 

I had my wife stop by there about a half hour ago and they supposedly sold out by 3:00.......but I know they like to stash

 

7pm tonight they were still tweeting people they had bottles.. Place is a joke as I stated before.

 

Rum River had Dragon's Milk Vanilla Chai and a few bottles of CW Brewhouse Coffee Stout.

All the Evil Twin bottles on the shelf had orange discount price stickers.

Also, stacks of TG Rover Truck, Golden Nugget and Dorothy bottles at reduced prices. First time I've seen TG beers on clearance like that.

 

I bit the bullet and picked up some 12/3/15 Abrasive (against the friendly advice from a Minnesotan, mind you) on a whim. Not a wise decision. I thought Abrasive held up well, but this stuff was a complete shell of what it should be. Anywho, looking forward to Todd!!!

 

Way to take one for the team. If we all commit to buying a 4-pack of Abrasive it'll be Todd/cabin season all that much quicker.

 

Any word on Hi Res or Tweak?

 

G-Will in Lino Lakes has some left on the shelf.

 

Thx beerdude!

 

A couple of years ago Blue Max had Abrasive just shy of $9.00 if I remember correctly...they had dozens of cases I grabbed a couple of 4 packs at that price. If they are sitting on it, they will drop a bomb on a few places and it will fly off the shelves

 

That's also when Abrasive would still taste great after several months. For some reason this year's Abrasive seems to fall off much faster than prior years Abrasive so I'm not as sure it would fly off the shelves this year if for example it is $9-10 and 4-5 months old.

 

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but it looks like Surly is canning #Merica!

Hi Res should be arriving at Clear River in a few weeks, the truck to MN keeps getting delayed.
Haven't heard yet about Tweak.

 

While Hi-res is a great beer - Hop Forest is such an excellent tropical DIPA representation that should tide you over until the Sixpoint shipment arrives. Grabbed 4 at TW Bloomington last night. Kudos to Bent Paddle on this one!

 

I had 2 cans last night, pretty tasty stuff. $11.99 for 4-12oz cans is a little tough to swallow though
