    Did you have to dig for the 6/15 at Costco? I only saw 5/18 and older. I'm just curious how they went from fresher stuff to older stuff. Redistribution perhaps? Gratefully the 5/18 stuff is drinking fantastically!

    6/22 Todd is fine but even is abrasive coming back!?

    I am assuming Abrasive will be November maybe a little earlier

    According to what I heard, this will be the case.

    Does MN have growler stations? A few HyVees in Des Moines have had $14.99 64oz Todd for weeks now.

    Nope, only growlers you'll find is from the brewery itself and Surly's too big to do growlers. You won't ever find Todd the Axe Man dispensed in a growler in the state of Minnesota unless the laws change and frankly, we're struggling like mad to get that Sunday Sales one changed first before we focus on growler stations.

    I'd be all for growler stations and selling them on Sunday. I love Hyvee and beer and I'd take some Surly in a growler on a Sunday if I had to. Great idea!!!
    Plus, 64oz of Todd at whatever store for $15, probably fresher than cans... point me in the right direction!

    Here we are on 7/12 and I find Todd cans from 7/6 in suburban Chicago in a Binny's cooler! Freshest I can recall having in the area as we also tend to get them at 2-3 weeks post canning.

    Consider your self lucky. I just saw some cans dated 4/16 in the cooler at the big top in Eagan. Pass.

    I inadvertently picked up some April cans at Apple Valley #1, because I didn't bring my damn cheaters with me!
    Lesson learned. #old

    When will the last canning of Todd be? Sorry if I missed this? All the way up til Abrasive hits?

    I don't think there has been anything that one could call official but yes that seems to be the case
