    I'll be heading from Chicago to my sister-in-law's house up in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota next week. I plan on picking some Surly stuff up while up there. Where are some good places along 94 in Minneapolis, or wherever for that matter, that has a good selection of Surly brews? I tried checking out Beermenus, but couldn't find shit.

    If you're going through Minneapolis on 94 then Zipps is an easy stop for you and they have other great beers too. If you're seeking unique stuff other than shelf let me know and I will hook you up.

    Dear poster,

    Your ultimate destination is sorely lacking in notable/tasty craft beer brands. You would be wise to purchase the beers you are seeking in the Twin Cities area before you get there. That way you will be happier and satisfied.

    Unless you were hard of hearing,then I am of no help....

    Any surly brews in particular you are looking for? Or really just any?

    Pentagram seviin and darkness are tough. I know of one shop that may still have some seviin and another that may have pentagram but they are a ways out of the way. I'm guessing you may want to do a quick IP trade on your way through the cities for the big guys.

    I'm still seeing SeVIIn all over at $20 per bottle, but I haven't seen Pentagram in at least a month. Darkness, obviously would have to be acquired in a trade, but you never know -- Ale Jail put some on the shelf last week for what I can only presume was an anniversary event or something.

    Speaking of which, Stinson Wine, Beer and Spirits is celebrating its first anniversary this week, and they have promised to put something special out every day.

    Could call Liquor boy, that's the last place I heard of having Pentagram. I have seen SeVIIn a lot places still. Overrated and Coffee Bender won't be too hard to come by. Stop by the brewery if you have time. Can often have a beer that isn't widely distributed or released.

    If you took a detour to Rochester, there is still Pentagram and Seviin on the shelves. Higher priced than in the Twin Cities. Andy's crossroads still had Pentagram and Apollo Best Buy had a few bottles of Seviin.
