Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2016 Edition

Simply stating that it wasn't his "first attempt". People need to respect these up and comers. The MN beer scene is awesome.

 

ST BA Wee Heavy still for sale 2day.

 

Cases of BCBS and Rare appearing in Rochester area. They go quick, bu new stock is showing up. Figured it was worth a heads up that you may run across some. Rare was still $60 and was just placed on the shelf in the box.

 

long gone.

 

price at around 17.5 . scored 1. Waconia brewing won't give a bottle count on it. Does anyone know?

 

I think they only had 1 barrel to age and they got 1 keg from it that is on at their taproom and whatever left over was bottled so very low bottle count.

 

Very low bottle count on the 4 Roses Barrel RIS (Yes, it was just one barrel). $15.99 plus tax, yes it ended up $17.50 after tax.
We limited 2 per customer at Shorewood, because of the small yield. Should have done 1 per, but we wanted people to be able to age it as well. We had 8 cases total FYI.

 

Sorry to ask again, but has anyone seen Pseudo Sue with an April canning date?

 

There are a few bottles at F44.

 

Curious if anyone is seeing 16 Pentagram anywhere for under 20 bucks. Costco have any?

 

Any signs of Founders Sumatra Brown?

 

Saw it @ my watering hole for $18.99, they also have some KBS in the back, just ask the guy with the glasses..

 

Nova had some last week, have not seen it yet in MPLS.

 

F44 had some on Friday

 

Purchased a 4 pack of Sumatra at Lakeridge Liquors on Friday and also saw it at Haskell's WBL.

 

Ale jail and Elevated also has some.

 

Eagle Liquor in Lino Lakes had it over the weekend.

 

All the varieties of barrel aged Libertine have been excellent.

 

If anyone is interested, Shorewood Liquor is getting Lupulin's latest bottle release of their Simcoe Imperial Stout that was released on Saturday. If you didn't make it to the release, and want a bottle, we are getting a case tonight.

 

Lupulin's Simcoe Imperial Stout is also available in bottles at Rum River in Ramsey and Elevated BWS according to Twitter.

I haven't had this one, but I did really enjoy Lupulin Beyond Black, which was an amped up version of their regular stout and dry hopped with Simcoe. It reminded me a bit of a slightly lighter version of Darkness with its resinous hoppy stout characteristics. I imagine that this bottled version is probably a similar recipe, but I can't say that for sure.
