    Going to be in West Des Moines (from Mason City) April 18th for probably most of the day with time to kill. I plan on hitting up Beer Crazy and Fluer HyVee, and while I really shouldn't drink before I go to where I'm going, I might see what El Bait has on tap.

    Since I have so much time to kill, is there any other store in the area I should check out? Also, is anyone interested in trading for maybe some Mason City Brewing or possibly Worth or Toppling Goliath (local bar will do growler fills), or just something that is available in Iowa but harder to get in the DSM area?

    Anyone know of special releases that will be available at the time?

    I hear Doom is going to be released before long, so you might be on the lookout for that while in Des Moines that weekend, as we usually get all the Founder's Backstage releases.

    If anything, you can hit up El Bait and fill a growler! I'd also suggest hitting up the Pleasant Hill HyVee, which I think has the best selection of any HyVee in the DSM Metro. Also, Wine Styles out by West Glen Town Center has some beers that most shops in DSM don't carry (Stillwater, Pretty Things, Mikkeller, Evil Twn, Jolly Pumpkin, various Belgian imports) thought their prices tend to run high I think.

    Hmm, I will have to maybe check out that Pleasant Hill HyVee, I've never been. I wasn't super impressed with Wine Styles, and we do get most of those beers up here in Mason City.

    How much, on average, are growler fills at El Bait Shop?

    TG Golden Nugget at Pseudo Sue were both $11 for a 32oz growler (on the high side but I had to bring some back to Omaha!). Don't know the prices on anything else.
