I'm curious how available Abrasive is this year. I know I heard not much (or maybe none?) went to distro. Help me get my facts straight as I'd like to trade for a couple 4-packs. Thanks for the help and cheers!
You can read the Abrasive thread in the Midwest forum to hear reports about under-carbed cans. Looks like it is mostly from a certain day of canning (1/13). It gets a good bit of distro in the Twin cities but flies off the shelves for the first batch or two - then becomes much more readily available with each new batch (in the past). There are larger stores with case limits, some no limits, but I think many stores with 4-pack limits. This will change as more comes out I'm sure. I hope to confirm it's deliciousness later today after a box arrives!
Admission of issue from Surly representative (GaryNicholas): http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/abrasive.228895/page-13#post-3207405 Just thought you should be informed. Cheers
Never been hard to find in the past in the Metro, at least in my experience. Mom n' Pop shops get it just like the big stores, and it tends to linger in those places.
I was lucky and went 4/4 on my cans, However, the unsettling part , they really aren't sure what dates/cans were affected, or really the reason.
