Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2017

Ripper, Punch Drunk and Double stuffed are gone...

Cashier said 16 of the first 20 customers in the store bought crowlers so it's going fast

 

Ripper and Double stuffed were gone when I was there at 9:15. Glad I got my hands on a couple of the others.

 

Anyone know of any places in West metro that still have Hooey?

 

At SLL all that's left of Disgruntled is Guvnor & Bulletproof both $6.99.

 

I picked up a Ripper, Orange Joos, and Punch Drunk at 11:00 today. Only thing that was sold out was Double Stuff

 

EP liquors near Home Depot and menards had it tonight.

 

Bunch of awesome beers showed up in Hudson: 3F Gumball Head, Necro 99, Zombie Dust, and Space Station Middle Finger, Stone W00tstout, and some others at Chicone's. All of the above 3F + Robert the Bruce at Casanova. Both Casanova and Chicone's also had a whole bunch of Hopstar, for those who have asked about it.

Anyone manage to snag the Dragon's Milk S'mores? I think I missed it. Trade? Share? PM me - I'd really like to try it!

 

Someone tell me how good those Disgruntled beers were because I'm jealous of you.

 

We were up there last fall and really liked everything we tried. Then I grabbed a couple of crowlers today and the Punch Drunk and Orange Joos were both really good..

I wouldn't list anything of theirs up with Hooey or Pudding Goggles, but everything is way above average. (Note- I haven't had the pleasure of trying Damn Good or Stupid Good)

 

Dragons Milk S'mores is hitting metro stores this week.

 

Total Wine Bloomington had it this morning.

 

Plus, not quite a bottle, but Casanova's had growlers of Dancing Man Wheat for $7.99. For the best wheat beer in the country, that's a steal.

 

Oh yeah! They also had Blot Out The Sun on tap, which was really decent!

 

I am excited to see Karben4 make it out this way too. I have enjoyed Fantasy Factory when I have had the opportunities to drink it.

 

Top Ten Blaine had a bunch of 2017 Itasca Loonidragon when I was in the other day. Maybe Clown Shoes made another shipment or the distributor has been sitting on some bottles.

 

Looks like I panicked prematurely! Heritage had it yesterday and said they were already sold out, so I thought I must have missed it.

Went to Total Wine Roseville this morning - they had several 4 packs still (though they weren't on the shelf yet - they were in a shopping cart near the seasonal beers section, and many of the 4 packs had bottles missing). I don't know if they have more in back - didn't look like their stock will last very long.

They also had Cooper Project #2!

 

About 2 cases of TG X Hops Teal at Big Top Midway $8.99ea. Is this stuff still good? At least its in the cooler...

 

You'll be whelmed by it.

 

Ale Jail has the new Olvalde/Oakhold collaboration, Day Torch. I tried it at the Saint Paul Summer Beer Fest and it is fantastic.

 

I bought a 2nd bottle of XHops Teal earlier this week. It was still enjoyable.
