Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2016 Edition

Saw some at Vintage Chan. Didn't catch a price, though.

 

I'm looking for assorted offerings from Tilquin, especially the most recent batch. Anything but Stout Rulquin. Any sightings? Thanks!

 

Anybody see any Tyranena Brewers Gone Wild around? Specifically looking for Devil Over a Barrel and any other barrel aged ones. Thanks.

 

I think F44 and South Lyndale still have some Rullquin. I have heard a batch of everything was recently sent to the US, but am not sure when we'll see it.

 

Thanks1 I should've mentioned that I'm looking for the obnoxious 3L size bottles. Anyone know where I can find a bottle?

 

They had both sizes at SLL earlier today.

 

Hey I'm not a big stout person and I know this isn't the right place to ask, but I figure you guys are familiar CW. Just cracked a Cassian Sunset and there is some funky looking brownish tan sediment/clumps. Is this normal for cassian or is it a drain pour? Also it's from the most recent batch.

 

Don't open another one. Bring them to me and I will test them out for you and properly dispose. Should be fine, that happens sometimes. The latest batch is the only batch btw

Looking for some help here. I've been overseas since May, and I'm really hoping to land a few bottles of beer before they're gone. My sister is willing to go pick some up, but I don't want to send her on a wild goose chase. Preferably south Minneapolis (Elevated, Falls Liquor, McDonald's on 34th, etc).

Are bottles of Orbital Drift easy to find? If not, any idea where she could find one? Also, are there any of the new Goose Island sour sisters around (aside from Lolita)? Gillian specifically, but Halia, Juliet, or Madame Rose as well.

One last thing...I've haven't been paying attention to the forums (it's too depressing when none of it's available here in Thailand), but are there any other gems I should have her look for? I'm thinking Imperial and/or barrel aged stouts, etc.

Thanks!

 

Orbital Drift should be pretty easy to find in your area. I think the Midway Target still has Gillian and Lolita if you get desperate. The biggest stout releases you would have missed were Prairie coming to Minnesota (happened in May). Look through the past couple pages for AB Noir locations. Any place with AB Noir probably has Bomb.

 

Byerly's in St. Louis Park had orbital drift and Halia two days ago, looked like plenty of both

 

South lyndale has both Gillian and halia as of Tuesday. They are high up on a shelf and not moving fast at something like $24 and $28.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Top Ten SLP currently has 2012 and 2013 abyss and the raspberry dragon's milk reserve and the chocolate coffee dragon's milk reserve

 

And 2012 dissident

 

Which Abyss is better? Any opinions? Might stop in.

 

A friend of mine swears that '12 Abyss is the best year he's had. Dunno how long ago he drank it.

 

Trillionaire at the Eden Prairie Liquor by the mall. And a ton of new-to-this-market bruery stuff like sour in the rye and melange 14 and Mash & Vanilla

 

Thank you! I did find it at SLL. I knew it was going to be pricey, but $90!!! I ended up passing.
