    New year, new thread. I don't have any current news on bottles or cans in the Twin Cities, but a question instead. I've been eagerly awaiting Big Bad Baptist and the variants from Epic, but I was told that they no longer distribute to Minnesota. Can anyone confirm this?

    Not necessarily hunt-level beers, but Princeton's had Sierra Nevada 40th anniversary IPA and Fair State Dry January in. Also looked like they still had most of the latest Drekker beers in, plus a single bottle of Abraxas on the shelf.

    What an abundance of good options we have today, where Abraxas variants sit on shelves for days!

    BA Silhouette (12 oz bottles) at Total Domination Minnetonka. Was still in the back, but they found it when I asked about it. Also had Willett of some sort at the front counter (I don't know squat about bourbon or whiskey). Didn't seem to have a price tag.

    France 44 also had it yesterday. I passed on it. Too expensive.

    Thanks for the tip, insane deal. That beer holds up well several months after canning imo.

    I will admit to dropping in to many stores lately but any 12 ounce BA Silhouette sightings? I'm getting old and the idea of drinking a 12 ounce beer is great over 750ml

    I've saw it at TW Minnetonka yesterday. Seems to be strangely absent from the other places I've checked.

    I saw it at Zipps yesterday evening. At least a few bottles on the shelf when I passed by.

    HyVee in Plymouth had a fair number of bottles, on the order of a dozen, on the front counter. I'm thinking this was a week-ish ago, so you might call first. Also Commander. I think they were $9.99.
