    No, should be something between 2/2-2/9.

    I would assume so. From Todd on Twitter:

    Last run coming up next week, then BLAKKR RT @CVickberg: How much longer will delicious Abrasive be brewed this year? March? @surlybrewer

    https://twitter.com/surlybrewer on February 2.

    Sorry, misread your post. There should be one more canning date, as MNPikey accurately stated. :wink:

    I'm always sad to see this one done until fall again.

    Checked a few stores today and they all seemed to have ALOT of Abrasive dated 12/26/13. Distributors unloading old stuff?

    Still have 1 left from the 36 I bought online. Every year I feel sad when I crack the last one so I leave it in the fridge as long as I can. :slight_frown:. See you next year, abrasive.

    I went to 4 stores in the Maple Grove area tonight and everything was still from December. Anybody have anything newer out there? I'm trying to help a buddy in a trade and would like something a bit fresher. Thanks

    Quit promising shit if you are not 100% sure you can deliver.

    Seriously, did you read the post? I promised that I can get him Abrasive (which I can 100% deliver), but would like to get him the freshest possible as he is passing it along to someone that has never had anything from Surly.

    Thanks for your helpful reply though...ass.

    Hey I think I saw some 1/13 abrasive at liquor barrel which I believe was in SLP? Or near it.

    1/13/14 at the Four Firkins as well, that's the freshest I've seen. Miss Surly self-distributing.

    1/13 is the freshest ive seen its all around in SW Minneapolis stores Abrasive is one of the best 2IPA'S at holding its bouquet (hops)

    I agree, I've had 8 month old Abrasive and it was still fantastic. As I mentioned above, I am helping out an out of state buddy in a BIF and he wants as fresh as possible. I grabbed some of the 1/13 today at FF thanks to the poster above.

    Freshest in Rochester is 12/19! Still awesome though. Anyone ever seen abrasive on nitro?

    I wonder about the supply and demand of this beer. After the initial onslaught... Maybe Surly should not date Abrasive cans:astonished:.
