Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2017

In the cooler

 

Does anyone know if anyone else got Disgruntled crowlers this week? Usually they show up with Drekker, didn't see anyone but Stinsons post Disgruntled stuff and a lot posting Drekker drops on social media yesterday.

 

Spirit Foul dropped this afternoon at Top Valu on Central. Still 4cs left. A few Black Note left at checkout counter ($6.99). Also Schell's Cave Aged, Bourbon Barrel Aged 3 Beans, Xocoveza, Dark Fatha, TG XHops Gold & Fire, Skulls & Money, DSDB, Omnipollo Nebbuchadnezzarr IIPA, Imperial Mexican Biscotti Cake Break and more!

 

Might have to seek out some BBA 3 beans

 

Looking for some of that fair state modern times collab...total wine in Tonka was sold out when I popped in today. Sux bc they just opened yesterday. I don’t really post anymore and am over chasing beers, but I would love to try this - as the style is up my alley l. Plz post if you see it in western burbs!

 

Haskell's and Vintage in Chanhassen both have it. I assume TW as well.

 

Haskells MG had it yesterday.... seemed like it was going fast though but might be worth a call

 

Have one left for you if you strike out.

 

Any word if the BCBS variants will be around the cities? Northwoods, Coffee.

 

Was at Fridley liquor (694 and University) yesterday and they have 2017 DSDB, a few bombers of TG Fire Skulls and Money along with XHops variants and other IPAs

They also have a handful of 2016 and 2017 Darkness priced at $19.99 each...

 

Fair State has new sour gift pack that includes Time Debt. For me, Time Debt was the biggest surprise of WTWBA this year. I hope it will also be sold alone at the taproom because I don’t want a bottle of LÄCTOBÄC with holiday spices.

Anyone in the St Loius Park area you guys seem to be sleeping on a gem of a store. Your Top Ten tonight had full rows of Drekker Ectogasm,Wheez,Milk Maiden, Brain Freeze and Phantom Hand. Toppling Goliath Fire Skulls and Money, Xhops Gold and others. Junkyard PB Bandit, Strawberry shakeomatic and NE experimental. Bent Paddle Double Black Double Shot plus more I know I am forgetting or didn't notice because I was in and out pretty.

 

The only issue is DSDB is $27! Otherwise they usually have a good selection.

 

I saw Bent Paddle's Double Shot Double Black tonight at the Golden Valley Byerlys

 

I live only a mile and a half away. If you can tell me how to get from the Highway 100 off-ramp to their parking lot in under 20 minutes I'll start making it a regular stop.

 

On foot

 

I like the store but turning left onto Excelsior coming out of the parking lot takes 10-15 minutes.

 

Just schedule your Top Ten beer runs whenever you need to stock up on half-priced books and unfinished furniture, and then it will feel like the the traffic was worth the hassle.

 

Just picked up the new Hooey cans and noticed no date on the bottom. Are others seeing canned dates on the cans or not? I know these new cans were ran on their new canning line, so hopefully they are to date cans here soon if they are not already.
