Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2017

Hopsmack at SLL. I believe it was $10.99 per, 2 bottle limit.

 

Are we going to start seeing cans of Pseudo Sue from Iowa on the shelf soon?

 

Not until the new brewery is up and running and the distributors sit on them for a few weeks. Last I heard it's a fall timeline for the new Decorah production site.

 

Hopsmack all over the place. Stinson has it, a one bottle limit, but you have to ask for it. Total Wine Roseville had plenty of bottles in the cooler, but they were pushed to the very back, behind Xhops Teal and something else. No limit there. Thomas Liquors and Ale Jail had it as well, per Twitter, though I haven't been able to stop in today!

 

Do you guys still have plenty of Fulton Hop Star up there? I'm seriously addicted to that stuff and I'm out!

 

just posted this in another thread...first post in years.

I would also like to know what i should be seeking out. I've been out of the 'beer loop' for so long because my favorite breweries have gone down hill and i can't keep up with new releases.

Please post if you see any juicy TG bombers in the western burbs. I haven't had a juicy IPA since Alpine Nelson (b4 they collabed with green flash). The Cans of TG beers are simply bland and not juicy at all. Was directed to this thread because some guy in the liquor store asked about hopsmack - and i had no idea what it was. Thus, i am here - trying to rediscover

 

Welcome back, this is a good thread to browse when trying to seek out the latest and greatest... can't confirm if there is any there currently, but Byerlys in St Louis Park usually has TG bombers that sit around for a few more days than some of the other popular western burbs stores. I'd give them a call and see what they have. Good luck

 

Not TG, but Princetons usually has blissful ignorance. That's a good place to start!

 

Surly's Imperial Hefeweizen, Inherent Weiss, will be released the week of July 12th. Even if it is shitty, the bottles are pretty.

 

First thought: the artwork looks almost 3 Floydsesque.

 

There is something Inherently wrong with calling a beer an imperial hefeweizen. Which I assume is the purpose of the name.

 

Still some TG hopsmack and X hops teal at Edina liquors on Vernon Ave.

 

Bottled on 6/6/17, released on 7/12/17. Another shelf turd.

 

Saw some 12oz BA Yeti 2Day BO 3/22/17 , did not know they changed format. Love the 12 oz bottle but not the price of $9, still bought one thou.

 

Better than the $27 bombers. Thought I'd never get to try it since I passed on the large format. There should be a couple at TW Roseville. Damn good stuff.

 

I am very happy to see the trend with big beers going into smaller formats. The Bruery just sent a survey about this, I don't order as much as their BA stouts due not wanting to tackle the whole bottle.

 

Head over to Zipps Liquor on Franklin ave, they have it there! I fell in love with it after the first sip, yeesh! So good

 

What's SLL and Elevated? I'm new here!

 

South Lyndale Liquors is off Lyndale and 53rd st, Elevated is Hiawatha and 42nd st.

 

Who picked up some cans of Hooey today?
