    I found 4/26 at Total Wine Bloomington. Had to go in the cooler and dig into the stacked cases as all they had was 4/12 out on display. 4/12 was my favorite when fresh, super dank batch IMO.

    What is with the lack of carbonation in Todd cans? And dang seems about a month out the floaties and sediment fall out from it fast! Abrasive had decent carb and no floaties even after 4-5 months old!

    Anyone know of any 5/18 (or the most recent) Todd in the west metro Twin Cities area? Going out of town and wanna bring some fresh ones for a buddy.

    Just found some of the 5/18 batch and trying one now. It's more carbonated than previous batches.

    Is 5/18 the last canning run for the year?

    It's going from once a year to something more than that. Last released in August, it came back in March and has been canned for 2 months. Not sure if it will stay on as a flagship or not. I hope so but if it becomes a 12 month beer it won't sustain both the price and the freshness. It would need to come down to $12 to do that ( ala Ninja vs Unicorn)

    I was under the impression they were switching between Todd and Abrasive every few months, or was that just a rumor?

    Todd is listed as a "Year Round" beer. While Abrasive is listed as "Seasonal." Exactly what that means, I have no idea. But their website, seem to imply Todd is a flagship.

    My Artisan rep has told me numerous times that Todd will be brewed until early fall, and then will make way for Abrasive. I consider him a trustworthy source. However, Surly has thrown wrenches at Artisan before. So...

    Top Ten in Blaine. 5/something is in the cooler, but if you ask, they might grab the June stuff in back

    Anyone see June dated Todd closer to Minneapolis proper?
