Surly: Todd the Axeman

Would be empty by the end of the night

 

Just don't forget your Chipotlaway

 

Had a 3/22 Todd , Thought this batch was more Citra Forward lighter in color and so tasty, finish was less bitter. Good stuff.

 

I'm visiting Minneapolis this weekend for a wedding and was thinking of searching for some beer to take home, think there will be any of this left anywhere or is a definite "No way in hell"?

I've never had it before, and don't know much about the release schedule so pardon my ignorance.

Though, while on the subject, what cans or bottles should I seek out? Will be visiting Stillwater and downtown Minneapolis with 1 day of free time.

 

Todd will be around, old will be the question.

If you have a free day, I say hit Surly to get it fresh.

Bent Paddle has some good stuff in cans, Hoo Forest and Cold Press if you like coffee.

You can also get Toppling Goliath here now.

When in Stillwater, go to Lift Bridge if you can. Fresh Hop Dish is good and can be found in cans.

There are many others, I am sure others will fill you in.

 

I'll also plug this thread for bottle shop advice

Thanks guys

Edit - Just realized my day free will be a Sunday...

 

You can still buy growlers at breweries on Sundays.

 

You'll be in town all weekend for a wedding and you only have Sunday "free". Are you the one getting married????
You make yourself free to go on a beer run!! Accidentally miss your Stillwater exit and turn around in Hudson, http://www.casanovaliquor.com/nova/index.php/contact/
Problem solved for most things right there.
Otherwise, Wisconsin sells all on Sundays too.

 

Wait, what? You're supposed to be able to "plan ahead."

 

Wifes friend, so I'm the +1... suppose I could go for a really, really long walk... (wedding is on Saturday, maybe there's time in the morning) will have to find out what's available in Stillwater then.

 

Hike up the skirt and hit up a beer store!
Anyway, almost anywhere you are in Stillwater will have some decent MN beers including Surly. Even better if you can sneak over to Hudson to hit up Toppling Goliath bombers that MN doesn't see.
Uber from Stillwater to Hudson to Casinova, you won't be disappointed. People will understand... maybe not your wife though.

 

I'd also add that you could sneak over to Somerset and hit up Oliphant.

 

In case you can't find any fresh cans of Todd (unlikely), it just so happens the Nova posted it yesterday on their growler list. Again, this is just a short trip across the river into Hudson, WI from Stillwater and it's open on Sunday.

 

Oh nice! Can bottles/cans be purchased in WI on Sunday or is it limited to on-premise growler only sales like MN?

 

Wisconsin allows sales of bottles/cans on Sunday.

I am not really sure Wisconsin has any laws around alcohol.

 

Words of wisdom, bring your own growlers to fill at Casanovas. They charge quite a bit for their own glassware, or at least they did last time I was there.

 

And also they, along with the other liquor stores in Hudson, close at 9PM.

 

Have not had cans of Todd in a few weeks because of the older brew dates. Just picked up a growler from the Fleur Hyvee in Des Moines. Such a great beer fresh and on tap.

 

Drinking a 4/13 can right now and its awesome. Better than another other IPA on the shelves in MN right now.
