    I had my first Resist last night. They can charge whatever they want to. I'm buying.

    I don't stop by Central Ave Liqours much but today when I stopped in, to my surprise , they had Big Bad Batista, CBS, all of the latest TG bombers, and a lot of Junkyard crowlers. I may have to stop more often!

    Weldwerks Coffee Coconut Stout appears to be making the rounds today. F44, Zipps and Heritage that I have seen. It is dated from November, so it is old but sounds like F44 got 36 cases.

    Anyone know what is up with this drop? Just a one off tease?

    For an non barrel aged stout, with the additions of coffee and coconut, I think the Weldwerks 'Coffee Coconut Stout' is a recommended buy. The base stout, blended coffee, and roasted coconut meld together very well. No barrel aged to deal with, just a very tasty flavored stout. I got mine at France 44.

    I'm guessing it has something to do with a temporary license allowing them to pour at that Craft Beer Fest at the convention center they seem to show up at every year?

    10-12 bottles of Pirate Noir left at SLL. $9.99 each

    As for this week's edition of Twin Cities Whiskey Hunt, they also had:
    • Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (6-8 bottles)
    • Stagg Jr. (2 bottles)
    • Midwinter Night's Dram (6+ bottles),
    • 4 Roses Single Barrel, Barrel Strength, SLL Private Select OESK (6+ bottles). Their store pick is great, worth the $80 tag.

    I somehow mustered enough strength to not drop $300-$500 on juice today. I wish everyone else the best of luck!

    Although now that I see there's a 3 hour difference in our posts, I'm probably out of luck on the ECBP

    Still had about 5 bottles at around 6pm.

    Also had quite a few Pirate Noir for people still hunting those.

    I could be wrong (or the person who told me was wrong), but this is what I was told. Take it as you wish... The are dropping beers in a few states and which ever state sells out quickest could see distro. It seems like crap to me, but I can only hope MN starts getting their beers. I'll definitely do my part and buy it if I see it.

    If true, using a coffee coconut stout is an interesting choice to test a market. Wish they had dropped juicy bits!

    I like both, but I prefer the coffee coconut stout. Crossing my fingers that these rumors floating around are true.
