    Yes I care. Pics please...

    Also if I am reading right, BCBS is not first come, first served?

    Is Lift Bridge's The Warden pretty much every where? Looking to pick some up either over lunch in and around Mendota Heights or on my way home through Mpls out to Maple Grove and beyond on 94.

    I haven't been looking for it, but definitely saw it in Maple Grove earlier this week...maybe at Total Wine?

    I am looking for a couple things I have not been able to get:
    Great Lakes Blackout stout
    Central Water Bourbon Barrel Stout

    Also, wanting to know when the latest batch of Pompeii hits shelves. :slight_smile: I read it will be today/this week, just not sure where or if all accounts will get it.

    I see a lot of TG stuff gathering dust on the shelves. Sue and fresh bombers sell well but the other 12 oz bottles seem to sit for a long time. Perhaps TG should have made more of a grand entrance into MN with some advertising and special bottle & tap releases so the non-beer geeks would be aware of TG. The beer competition in MN is so good now I don't think you can just expect to succeed here without some effort.

    Looking for some decent, readily available sours to try...so far I haven't liked them but I see potential...any suggestions for a sour noob?

    I like the Destihl "Wild Sour" beers. I see them at various stores pretty regularly.

    Great to meet a lot of people this morning! I had a great time. Sorry if I went a little overboard. I'm now at work, feeling 100% a-okay :confused:

    Love you all :slight_smile:

    I'm also not sure if they have sales reps here in MN. I went to a couple of town tastings in fall (Lakeville and Apple Valley) and the same person was pouring at both events. At the first one, I asked her if she knew when they were doing their next batch of King Sue, and her response was "I don't know. I don't work for them." TG beer is great, but they really seem to be half assing it on the marketing end.

    Agree. Reasonably priced too. The Gose is good, but it's wicked salty. I have trouble putting down a whole can. The red can I think is a Raspberry sour. It's good and a little more tame.

    Great times this morning! I mean who wouldn't want to be sitting outside at 2 am watching Star Wars and drinking BCBS?
