    My wife, son, and I went to The Mother Ship last night. The replies I received from Surly staff members when I asked "When is Abrasive going to be released outstate (Mankato)?", which is an innocuous question, IMHO, were ..... confusing. I think I needed a special decoder ring.

    Axeman and Misanthrope are worth the trip to the brewery, though. Both are world class, IMHO. And Fiery Hell is pretty great, too.

    I loved fiery hell! Someone refresh my memory, will we ever be able to buy Surly growlers?

    Sure, when MN fixes more of their stupid liquor laws. Until then, no.

    When Wisconsin gets distro we can drive to Casanovas and get our growlers:wink: sad but most likely true

    Same would go for Iowa too. I gotta image someone's already eyeing the day they can fill a growler of Abrasive at el Bait Shop or the Keg Shop. Then again, that'd be small potatoes after watching CBS growler fills happen.

    If someone wants to hook a brother up with a bunch of Abrasive when relesed. I can repay the favor with something you may want from Philly. Now or in the future.

    Anybody want to calculate how much of the initial release is allocated for trades out of the distribution area already?

    Usually with Abrasive, the initial canning sells out instantly even with 1-2 4pack limits.

    With the release party this week does that mean we may see Abrasive in liquor stores this week also or will that probably be another week?

    If someone hasn't gotten to you yet, I'd be willing to trade. PM if interested.

    I just saw a video Todd posted to FB which is more than likely the canning of Abrasive. Smells like Citra.

    Once canned, how long for it to go through the supply chain and to stores? Another week? Two?

    It was so nice when Surly did their own deliveries and one could get day old Abrasive and Wet.

    Canning today. Would love to know if they have any for sale today/tonight.

    Anyone stopping by, let us know.

    Yeah, if it's five days old they might as well throw it away.

    Sorry you feel that way. I thoroughly enjoyed a can of year old Abrasive the other day.
