Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2016 Edition

Here is the USDA report for 2015: http://usahops.org/userfiles/image/1450466405_2015 National Hop Report.pdf
You can see the massive rate of increase for Citra and Mosaic. Mosaic is obviously trailing behind Citra, but the demand for Mosaic only began about a year or two ago. Mosaic has much higher yields than Citra, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's overall production passes up Citra in the next 3 years.

 

Are we expecting Hopslam tomorrow? anyone know where it will be dropping 1st? College city distributer?

 

fwiw, F44 said they were expecting Wednesday but were pushing for the distributor to give it to them Monday.

 

looks like Premier is tomorrow for Hopslam. they have a list.

 

A list for hopslam? That is funny shit I remember edina liquor having at least 30 cases of this last yr a month after release

 

if its like last year, most get two releases. the first release clears shelves rapidly. the second sits for a bit. many say last year was an 'off' year as well, for taste.

 

I dont know about canning but they have todd on tap at red cow in s mpls. Along with nein, pentagram and others....

 

Any word of when/if the Dragons Milk Reserve Vanilla Chai will be dropping?

 

Not really West Metro, but Central Liquors in NE has a TON of it still somehow.

 

Looking for fresh Psuedo in the West, NW metro - any leads?

 

South Lyndale just posted on twitter that they had hopslam. $15.99 no limit.

 

princetons has it as well.

 

Mingo is such a helpful BA they named a bar game after him!

 

I saw Crasher in the Rye at Byerlys in Eagan at $6.50/bottle. I bought the last 3. Too good of a price. Maybe try other Lunds/Byerly's.

 

$60 for a case at Princetons.

Byerlys SLP also has it. $16.99

 

Hopslam at France 44. By the picture, it looked like they have quite a bit.

 

liquor boy slp.

 

There were a couple of mini kegs of Hopslam at South Lyndale as well. Not sure of the final count left but there's at least one less there then from when I walked in the door.

 

Anyone seen Expedition Stout still on the shelves anywhere?

 

seems to be around, saw it recently at France 44
