    Huh strange, did you see them on display?? I didn't, but I was in a hurry. I originally walked in and walked to the cooler to see how many they had left and if there was a limit. When I called they said they had a few and he would hang on to one for me at the counter. So after not seeing anything on display, I went to the counter and he pulled the Galaxay Sue out. I then asked if there was a a limit and he concurred. I then asked if they had NugMo and he said yes, I said I will take 1 and he reached under the counter and grabbed it. So I assumed it was all at the counter since I never mentioned anything on the phone about NugMo and didn't see anything on display.

    But thanks for the info!

    Yeah, they were all in the fridge section with the other TG bombers (Smoove, Light Speed, Pompeii etc.) and that's where I grabbed all of them from. Didn't ask about anything at the counter. Like I said though, I only saw one bottle of the DDH left in the fridge, not sure of anything behind the counter. So I'd definitely call first.

    MGM Eagan had both NugMo and Galaxy Sue as of about 30 minutes ago. Limit one of each.

    Thanks man, I was feeling kind of lazy and didn't want to go back.. But I gave them a call and they still had it. Asked them to hold it for me and just got back home with it. Yus!

    I got an Alpine Mandarin something or other at Apple Valley #3 yesterday. I don't recommend seeking it out, however. Very little carbonation. Or flavor. Your mileage may vary.

    If you're talking about Mandarin Nectar, I totally agree. I was disappointed with that one too

    That's it - Mandarin Nectar. Doesn't that sound delicious?

    Question, Fulton 300.. Is there a bottling date on the bottles or package that I am missing? Picked up a 6er and I think it tastes great and pretty fresh(thankfully). But I could not see a date anywhere on the bottle or package. I would like to avoid gambling if possible..

    I believe they only put dates on the cases, which seems pointless, unless you are buying the whole case.

    Yeah as @jera1350 said think its only on the box. Wish Fulton would put a BO date on the bottle. 300 since year round has been so good.

    Ugh, that sucks. Well hopefully demand gives this one relatively decent turnover. I like it, very enjoyable. A little more heft to it than Mosaic Promise. Big Axe brewing in Nisswa had a really good Mosaic IPA when we were up there 2 weeks ago. I think it was very comparable to Pompeii. Anyway, always nice to find another single hopped Mosaic IPA worth buying.
