    Did you ask an employee for help at Horrock's? And did you look in the beer cooler? They usually have a pretty good stack of M43 in the beer cooler. Sorry you didn't find it at Horrock's but at least you got some.

    Yeah I asked and they said they didn’t have any, not even in the warehouse.

    Yeah it was a pain to run all over town but glad I got some. Got a six of Citra Dank Juice too. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

    I'm surprised by your lack of success - must have just been bad luck on deliveries or whatnot. If you decided to do the drive from Horrock's to Oade's on Grand River (the one on the east side of campus), you were probably 5 miles from Vine and Brew, which has by far the better selection that either Oade's. If you're still in the area, I'd suggest trying there because they pretty much always have ON in the coolers. However, since you were already on the east side of campus, the actual ON brewery was only like 9 miles / 15 minutes away...

    I immediately left town after leaving the second Big 10 store. It was 5:00 and had a 4 hour drive back to Indy so only had a short time to grab a stash before hitting the road. I appreciate the suggestion though. I'm guessing the lack of supply was maybe associated with a large consumption from the July 4th holiday? Either way, while it was a little of a pain running all over town, I'm happy with getting two 4 packs of M43, one 4 pack of Greenstone, one 4 pack of Cart Horse, and one 4 pack Citra Dank Juice. Was also very impressed with the selection at Horrock's. Their organization was a little all over the place though. Also interesting to notice you guys get Deschutes, AleSmith and a few other breweries we don't get in Indiana.

    Just felt like I should update. Spent my first full day in lansing today and we stopped by Ellison with some lunch and holy high water and handbaskets was I underwhelmed. All of their hazy stuff (dominating the menu) was so so and tasted the same. Their other IPAs were not bad but nothing I would seek out. Their new sours showed promise but aren't there yet. Their pilsner was nice and the tiramisu was a decent stout. I remembered them being pretty noteworthy when I last went through a year and a half ago and they get some love but boy, I don't think I'll be going back.
