    I still, for some reason, have Saga from summer of '13. I bought a ton of it for a trip to Brainard with my friends and didn't drink it all. Ended up forgetting it in the cooler and not finding it until late fall.

    Tempted to start bringing it to tastings for shits and giggles, or just dropping it all off on @mothman 's porch.

    I am all for a clean slate, but I think monthly threads for both tap and bottle hunting is excessive. There is always a crappy transitional period at the end of the month.

    I sometimes feel bad for the people in the rest of the Midwest, since the Twin Cities dominates this forum, but then I remember how much better we are than them.

    re: Fulton 300
    Now we will hear endless posts about where is the latest batch of 300 if they even bottle date. What is the format and price point?

    It is a fine beer and all, but I much preferred Lift Bridge 300 to Fulton's.

    I would love to see Lift Bridge's batch 800 come back.

    Oh, I though you were actually talking about their batch 300. I never had it, but they have seemed to do special batches for numbers like that.

    Honestly don't recall the price as I had several things purchased at the same time.

    There is some printing at the bottom edge of the bottle, but it's not legible, so we wont have to deal with people looking for the freshest batch posts most likely.

    Not sure why, but Fulton dates the cases, not the bottles.

    Grabbed a case from my local liquor store (Mendota Liquor) cause of the hype. I thought it was solid..

    We have 300 at Thomas. Pretty sure the case said 3/24
