Hello. Currently on my way to Rochester, Mn. to pick up a Leslie Cabiniet. Who has the best and freshest stock of Surly? Furious and The WAY off-chance of some Abrasive. Thanks.
Be sure to check can dates, especially on the Abrasive; some could have been sitting around since the release in December. Also, http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/list?city=Rochester&c_id=US&s_id=MN. I'm not a Minnesota native, but I wanted to help, too, dammit!
Try Apollo Liquor or Andy's. Both have various locations and can call around if that particular store doesn't have any.
All the Abrasive I have seen down here seems to be the 1/17 canning. I would say Andy's south is your best bet, they seem to move the most product.
I went to Andy's a few weeks ago and the selection was outstanding! But yes check the dates I bought some Central Waters and found out after I got home it had been bottled in June!!! But the Abrasive I got there was pretty fresh.
