    I've heard of this beast, it's definitely out, but the question is... Where do I get my hands on it? Anyone in Minnesota seen it/had it?

    From what I have heard/seen, the Distributor(s?) have only been giving stores a case or 2. It does not seem very logical to me. Apparently Hoptimum is supposed to be around until August, why divvy it up by the single case.

    Top Valu Liquor in Columbia Heights had some yesterday. It is very, very tasty.

    Sid's in Plymouth had some. You have to ask as they have it in the back. It was like 8.60 something.

    I picked some up at Chicago Lake today. There was maybe 2 - 4 packs left in the craft cooler.

    First release was very small here in the TC, but from what I hear, there will be more coming later this month.

    Huh. Have one in my glass right now & this is one I wouldn't bother with again. Good beer, but there are tons of better hop alternatives here. Give me a Ruthless Rye any day.
