    I have a brother in law that is visiting Cedar Rapids for work. I would love to have him grab me a few beers but he knows nothing about beer. For this to work I need to be able to tell him where to go and what to buy. Can anyone give me a suggestion of a store to go to and what will be easily available? The easier I make it for him the better my chances are that he will come through. Thanks Warren

    Definitely want to look for some Toppling Goliath. Any Cedar Rapidians out there know the best spots to check for TG in town?

    Keep an eye on their FB pages--it sounds like TG should be making some deliveries this week. Otherwise right now I think the Hy-Vee has Dorothy's and Benz has some Dorothy's and Zeelander in their back cooler still.

    Benz Beverage Depot has a very good selection of beer. I stopped in after I left Peace Tree Brewing's 5th anniversary party heading back to WI.

    The Hy Vee on Oakland road is my favorite. They currently have BOMB! in stock, along with some other worse Prairie stuff, they also have the Surly basics. Benz is good too. It's tough to get toppling goliath, even here. If we get a Sue drop this week it will likely be gone same day unless they bring a lot per store.

    Does anyone know if Central Waters beer will be available in Cedar Rapids?

    Yes, Oakland Road Hy Vee currently has their Bourbon Barrel Stout and Barleywine available for $13.99 a 4 pack. Their regular distro is here too.
