    My parents are in minnesota driving on i90 east to Wisconsin and they are trying to pick me up some surly furious or bender. Any liquor stores close to i90 that they might have luck at? Any help would be appreciated!

    Best bet is Rochester, then Winona. In Rochester, hop off on broadway north, or 63, Andys and Apollo are right on broadway. Winona, about 9 miles off the interstate, there are two stores carrying Surly. I cannot remember the names though.

    The Hy Vee a block North of I-90 in Austin has a well stocked selection of Surly. Including SeVIIn and Pentagram. It's behind the Holiday Inn.

    There's a liquor store on the highway between La Crescent and La Crosse if they happen to be stopping in La Crosse at all or need gas. Probably about 3 miles off the interstate. https://www.facebook.com/LaCrescentWineSpirit Their facebook recently said they had pentagram and smoke in addition to their regulars.

    Thanks for the tips. Do beer sales stop at 8 in Minnesota? Some liquor stores are already closed at 8.

    Depends on the city and the day. I used to live in Rochester and they closed at 8 most weekdays. The LaCrescent one says they're open til 10.

    They were too late on the liquor stores, but I told them about hy vee and La Crescent wine and spirit. I haven't talked to them yet today but I think they gave up on getting it after not finding it a couple of places earlier last night. It's fine because I will be in Minnetonka in two months (not for darkness days, unfortunately) so I will pick some up then. Maybe get some Wet, too. Thanks for all of your help, even if I didn't get any now.

    Rochester would have the quickest access. In Winona, MGM is the closest off of 61 which you can take South to get back on I90.

    None of you were grumpy enough in your assistance. He specifically asked for "surly help".
