Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2016 Edition

I paid $17.99 at Strong Liquor in SLP.

 

Stopped at 12:45 and the lady said it was all the sudden a mad rush around 1200, funny it took an hour!
Anyway, kudos to the guy that gave the last 2 bottles to guys that walked in after him. However, really dude for taking the last five. I guess in the end it your karma evened out?

 

Any born yesterday sightings northern burbs or anywhere? I drank my initial sixer in one night (shared two bottles which now I'm regretting since it appears to be long gone). That beer and waldos special are easily top five beers maybe top three beers I've had this year, major props to Lagunitas.

 

I'm with ya on Waldo's and BY. Raising the in your face dank bar, delicious

 

Plenty of CD Mosaic at TW Roseville 16.99

 

CD Mosaic at Zipps according to Twitter. $17.99/four pack

 

Seems like a few bottles of Darkness left at Target liquor store in Chaska.

 

At Liquor Boy SLP last night: Born Yesterday ($14, about 2 cases left), Rum King ($19), Lakefront Imperial Pumpkin ($16), Schells Fresh Hop ($11), and 10/10 Sue. Also had a few bombers of Surly Ten for anyone still looking. Finally, for the bargain hunters, plenty of $5 four packs of Maitrise and Hoptimum.

Might be the best place for this, but what store has the best customer benefits?
So far the last month, I think I've spend $200+ dollars for beers.
I mean, Rum King, Darkness, TG bombers, Born Yesterday, etc....
I know SLL has points for something.

 

Elevated has a customer rewards program based on how much you spend during the month. I believe it's a one-off sale per month with increasing % off based on what you spend.the previous month.

 

France44 has a club too.

 

Haskell's does, too, but you have to buy in.

 

Casanova has a pretty decent one. The biggest advantage of it is you can use it twice as many days on the weekend than the other stores listed.

 

I just got the last Born Yesterday. They still had Rum King, Sue, as well as CD Mosaic.

 

I like SLL, I think it's a $10 credit for every $200 spent. You may want to check with them. The best part IMO is that those credits don't expire, unlike Elevated where any points accumulated expire at the end of each month. I'm saving up for a nice Scotch!

 

The Top Ten chain has a reward points program and I think also have some members only deals occasionally. Not sure what the reward is exactly but I seem to remember that 500 points gives you a discount on your next shopping spree or something of that sort

 

Looks like Vinafera got in Backwoods Bastard today, should start trickling across the metro soon. One of my favorite beers of the season.

 

This time of year really sucks, Darkness, Rum King, fresh hop beers, Backwoods Bastard, CW BA release. Then we just had MD and BG release and upcoming we have BA Silhouette pre-sale coming up December and CW Anniversary. I know I am probably missing a few, but September - December beer wise can be real brutal... even if you try to limit and keep yourself in check.

 

If I remember correctly, it gets you a 10% employee discount. I'm pretty sure I have it associated with my account right now, but I'm not sure how long it lasts.
