    I was wondering if anyone has seen this on shelves yet? In particular I'd like to find a 4 pack in downtown Minneapolis tonight after work. Thanks in advance if anyone can point me in the right direction.

    Cheers!

    Any idea what hop they are using this year? It is splendid. Best version yet.

    Edit: Website says Sterling but not sure if that is updated for this year. I remember Summit hops a few years back I think which I did not care for.

    Got a pack at Zipps. Really tasty. I didn't think they ever changed the hops on this brew.

    I did not taste a difference in the awesomeness of Surlyfest. I would of noticed if Summit hops would of been used.

    It's definitely not Summit this year but I'm pretty sure they may have used it the first year the beer came out.

    Premier in Osseo should have a little more tomorrow, Haskell's in Maple Grove sold out this morning and MGM in Maple Grove has some but you have to ask at the counter.

    It was 2006 when they used Summit hops. Much better now.

    Anyone heard when the 2015 release will be? When it's ready?

    I think you answered your own question; "When it's ready".

    I can't remember the date my rep gave me regarding it's store release, but he did tell me there was a lot more of it brewed this year the ever before. Yeah for the new brewery.
