Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2016 Edition

Yup. I hate it too, but it's relatively easy to score there.

Bummer that they got it. I was hoping it would just be the local beer shops that would get it.

On that note, it's on the barrels at SLL

 

Slightly off topic... but anybody who thinks this bottle hunting can be frustrating should try hunting the Nintendo classic edition!

I've heard about long lines before stores open, selling out in minutes, aggressive shoppers fighting over them It's the toy version of Vanilla Rye. I've been laughed out of a couple targets so far this week when I asked if they had any

 

I also read an article today about Franklin BBQ, with people waiting in long lines before opening, counting the # of people in line to see if they were going to get food, etc. It was verrrrrrrrrry familiar.

 

TW rose just got king sue leaving with 1 bottle

 

Really? I bought one on release day back in early November without any issues or lines. I guess people caught wind of it and with the holidays it went from a "never heard of it" to a "must have".

I'm bored with ours already and going to build a Raspberry Pi based machine running RetroPie.

 

TW Maple grove told me they did not get it. Settled for a cart full of bourbon.

 

They are selling for almost $300 on Amazon if you're really bored of playing it and want to make a few bucks...

 

LB slp had King Sue few hrs ago no limit looked to be about 4 left 11.99

 

Anyone seeing any December Axe Man or Abrasive?

 

I think they are still looking for where Todd hid the recipes... he's been giving them hints, but all they have found is the one for bender and they have plenty of that on hand already.

 

Not quite Dec, but I did see 11/29 or 11/27 Todd at TW Maple Grove.

 

Does anyone know when Abyss is set to release?

 

Still about 12 king sue left at SLL. Limit 2. 10.99

 

Supposed to be this week but who knows what the distributors will do https://www.deschutesbrewery.com/abyss-2016-friends/ do?

 

Just grabbed two, maybe 8 left now

 

10/26 at SLL

 

Is Bo & Luke...
1) rare/hard to get (cannot believe on level of these other ones that were in the drawing)
2) good

It is a truth universally known that if you take beer from a mediocre brewery and age it in Pappy Van Winkle barrels, it becomes a whale.

 

Some 12/05 Axe Man at Falls in St Paul today

 

I had it on tap once and would say it was good, but not great.
