    I've seen several of these types of threads in different regional forums (not the NW forums because they HATE the idea of sharing, seriously, their forums are cutthroat). The idea is that when you see something interesting, limited, rare, etc that you post the find in the thread so that others in the BA community can take benefit. Please don't be that guy that buys up every single bottle and instantly tries to cash in, that's just douchbaggery. This is to help guys in our forums pick up beers that they might normally not see.

    So, to get things started... MKE Whole Foods on North had about a case of Pentagram in the bomber cooler.

    Cheers!

    Love this thread. I've seen Devil Over A Barrel at Ottos Elm Grove for the last month. Also picked up some Socialite. Will check for BBA Scotch Ale tomorrow.

    I have one single bottle of '15 BC coffee and barley wine if anyone wants to pick them up for science.

    Tyranena Devil Over a Barrel and Socalite both still there. Also still some Old Bruin. No BBA Scotch Ale or NG Smoke on the Porter.

    Timer's in Racine has a TON of BA Neapolitan on the shelves. Or rather they did as of this past Saturday anyway. Saw it there a couple weeks in a row, so guessing it's still around. Also Xolotl from Avery.

    Interestingly flavored brew. There's a lot going on in those bottles.

    Discount still has some bombers of TG X-Hops Silver (my fav x-hop so far), and 4 packs of BA scotch ale.

    Rare beers will sometimes pop up at Liquor Central in the Dells. Just off the freeway at the exit w/ the Great Wolf Lodge. Easy stop if you're passing through.

    Discount MKE still has some X-Hops silver, and just got a ton of Three Floyds stuff in. Zombie Dust (limit 2), and the new Blood of the Sunsets (limit 1) were all on the shelf as of last night.

    Oh, and there was also still a couple of bottles of Socialite and Island Booty. Still a ton of BBA Scotch Ale left as well. Did they make more of it this year? I don't remember it sitting around for this long last year.

    For anyone who ever heads to Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, Sonoma Cellars has a very nice selection where you can find TG, 3F, and a number of other good beers. The employees have all been really friendly as well.

    Discount MKE has some bottles of Backwoods Bastard on the shelf. Also some Surly Northern Invasion, and I saw the last few bottles of Zombie Dust on the end cap by the registers mixed in with the other random bottles that sit on the bottom shelf.

    Couple bottles of TG NugMo hanging around Timer's in Racine today. Getting old-ish (6/07), but the one I bought was smooth and delicious. Stone Imperial Russian Stout on the shelves at $8 and 2014 reserve Deschutes Mirror, Mirror for $16. Still got that BA Neapolitan on the shelves too. Had to grab a couple more, couldn't resist $5/bottle 2 weeks in a row - plenty left that will prolly last a while. Also had CW BB Scotch Ale hidden in the cluster of discount boxes near the bathrooms - like really hidden.

    Most likely gone by now, but OC Woodman's was sporting Bell's The Oracle DIPA for $3/bottle behind the counter the other day. More of a heads up that this is around than a solid search tip I guess...

    3F or FFF? I'm seeking 3 Fontienen, seems very hard to find in WI now.

    Weekly trip to Timer's in Racine. Still have at least a case of NugMo (still drinking good IMO) and now a case of TG Thresher bombers as well. Only place I've seen that still has Stone RIS and CW BB Scotch Ale 4 packs with no limits.

    Gary's in Oak Creek has TG Xhops Gold from March and Xhops Gamma from LAST FRIGGIN YEAR in the walk in if old ass hops are your thing... Not sure what the deal is with that place. It's like they sit on the wrong bottles for late release and my inquiries into Black Note were met with straight up rudeness. I'll give that place one last go then I'm done with them for good.
