    I was just wondering if Surly beers are readily available or if they are hard to come by in the Twin Cities. I have family coming down from there for the holidays, was going to have them pick up some, but I dont want them to be running all around town looking for it.

    Shouldn't be a problem to find Furious, Bender, Coffee Bender, Abrasive, Hell, and I think Bitter Brewer right now.

    No problem at all to find all those beers at most liquor stores around town. Except Bitter Brewer, I'm pretty sure it's not out now. As always, I could be wrong... :slight_smile:

    Coffee Bender has been on back order at a couple of liquor stores by me, and Abrasive has a tendency to sell fast. Not that you can't find them but they might require a little bit of hunting. Bitter Brewer won't show up until May. The only one people didn't mention was Smoke, but that might be a tougher find.

    I would kill for a fresh Bitter Brewer right now. I wish they would have made that year round instead of Hell.

    Is Cynic out right now? I swear at Apollo there is something else, but I could be wrong.

    Okay that must be what I was thinking of.

    Okay I wasn't totally crazy, I went to three different stores in Rochester today and they all had Bitter Brewer (canned in May).

    Perhaps Surly should think of sending less Bitter Brewer to Rochester. On a side note, how's that new brewery doing down there?

    Or maybe I should buy it more!
    I'm not sure, haven't been by after reading the not so great reviews on the forum here, and I've been out of town.

    They definately still had Bitter Brewer at Andys on Wellner Drive, asking like 12.99 for a warm 4 pack. I considered offering the manager 5 bucks for it but never got around to it

    Will there be some Abrasives in Twin Cities stores next month? I am planning to visit Twin Cities in mid-January

    most likely, it should be around in plenty, where will you be in the twin cities?

    All over! (I was a MN-born native growing up in Mpls) Last time I was here was in April and missed the Abrasives. I kept hearing about them but always came at wrong times. Worth buying two packs?

    Two packs? And you live outside surly distro area? You must have mistyped... You need two cases, and yes it's worth it.

    Yeah, yeah. I will keep it in my mind for cases instead of packs. I was afraid to let some be spoiled if cellared.
