    but is it fresh? That is always the questions with FFF. It sucks spending $13 on a bomber of 5 month old IIPA

    it sucks spending over 10 bucks on an IIPA bomber, period. Too many good alternatives these days to pay those prices.

    When the first shipment 2 months ago landed it was fresh, I would like to think the same on this. With all Due Respect, I would like to be informed on a better DIPA in the 6 to 11 $ range that is better then Dread, Honestly, that we can get between MN and WI.

    If we are talking $6-11 per 22oz's, I would say Abrasive is better. New Glarus IIPA for $10/4 pack is a great deal as well. My $0.02.

    If we get Dorado when Ballast Point arrives it will be a game changer when establishing the pecking order of available DIPAs in MN.

    Abrasive, NG iipa, double trouble, hopslam, stone hoppy beer release of the moment, sucks.
    I 'm sure there are some I missed. Maybe not all better, but on the same level. And dated.

    I picked up a bottle of FFF Pride and Joy and a sixer of Racer 5. Neither were optimum fresh but the Racer 5 was decent.

    Have they had less than fresh FFF beers at the Nova? I find that hard to believe... especially Dreadnaught.

    Is Beer Capitol the distributor for FFF up in Hudson? If so, then i would guess the Dreadnaught is as fresh as it comes in WI. It just showed up at a bunch of stores in Mikwaukee after being out of stock for a while at the Beer Capitol warehouse.

    Pseudo Sue growlers and Apple Ale. Plenty of Berliner, Anniversary sold out yesterday.

    Anniversary was well stocked in the strip mall down the hill. $6+ a pint, I took 6. Lots of Berliner on the shelves. The lot parking was overflow onto the road. Wonder how long the Pseudo Sue will last.

    I got there early and ate, but it was getting hit hard even before dinner time. I got my Pseudo growlers and the rest of my order and headed down the hill to the other store for 20th and it was pretty quiet in there, they have a decent selection too.

    The FFF Pride & Joy bottle I bought from the single bottle selection was dusty, I knew this and wasn't expecting ultra freshness. Just had to try it since it was my first taste of FFF.
