    Wonder how many BA's took the day off and drove to the cities today, thinking they wouldn't see it for a while?

    I bought a 4 pack of Surlyfest on Saturday at the Liquor store behind Lunds downtown on Hennepin. 9.99 it's in their walk in beer cooler to the left on the floor.

    Not all Haskells get it at the same time. Haskells in Bville/Mtka/St Paul/Roseville would have different Distrobution

    Only stores that don't get Surly from Johnson Brothers (NW suburbs) will have it today. Better off chasing trucks tomorrow...

    It means that they have no idea what you are asking about and are guessing.

    Yep, that's where I just got some. Right near the intersection of Bottineau and 42nd.

    Crushed a can as soon as I got home. Last year's was better... 2011 was WAY better.

    Luckily my memory of various hop profiles is 100% accurate even 2 years later, so I will let you all know. Oh wait, most people really cannot discern distinct differences after a week despite what they'd like to think.

    I have noticed that my water isn't as good as last year's, and last years water wasn't as good as my 2011 water. There is probably a connection.

    So, while calling around for Surly Wet, I had one employee ask, "Sobe Water?" Yes, sir, I make a habit of calling liquor stores to find fruity sugar water. Le sigh.

    Interesting that there wasn't a tap release this year...wonder if it's going out in kegs at all with the decrease in production? It's unlike Surly to not have some kind of tap event for any seasonal, let alone one this popular. Hoping it's at a) the taproom and b) ABR

    Just tried one and either my taste buds are fried, or the taste is way off this year. Tasted more like a pale ale than a wet hop beer. Will try another one tomorrow, ate spicy food at lunch and dinner today.
