Old Nation M-43

Try Crocker's in Niles. They usually have it, and usually get a quite a bit of it when they get it in.

 

If you can't find any, let me know. I'll hook you up.

 

while this topic is up...can anyone recommend best spots to find m43 in/around Grand Rapids? Is Boxer as readily available? Boss Tweed does not see distribution, right? Thanks!

 

Nice, didn't realize it got distributed down there. Have to make a trip to my head office in South Bend next week, looks like I'll be taking a detour on the way back to Chicago!

 

Old nation has a list of every retailer that receives M-43 on their webpage.

In others' defense, I think this list is only helpful if you're familiar with areas of MI. I have been able to find places I need to go since I grew up there and go back quite often, but for others that may make one trip a year into MI (yes, I know...they should go more often), reading that list of stores is probably really tough to decipher.

 

Yeah, without breaking that list out by at least and alphabetical list of cities/towns, its basically worthless.

 

There was a lot at Meijer across the state.

 

This is the answer. Go to the nearest Meijer store (in Michigan?). If my Meijer store got some M-43 this week, every Meijer store must have some. The question is, how long will it last.

 

Not every! They forgot Elmer's County Market, in Escanaba.

 

The fastest sell down in Grand Rapids puts it at about 24 hours. Generally I would say if you can get to Meijer by Thursday you are good to go.

 

Seems like they don't list any retailers in the UP as the 3 stores by me all have got some, and none are listed.

 

There are a few U.P places on the list. I saw White's, Econo Foods (MQT), & The Fitz (Eagle River).

PS: Love your profile pic.

 

That list of retailers they have on their website was from their first big distribution if I recall. Perhaps they have expanded a bit since then, but just haven't updated the list.

 

Exactly what I was going to say. That list cannot possibly be up-to-date anymore. Although it is unlikely to have any false positives (places listed that *don't* have the beer).
