    Total Wine - Woodbury had 4-packs of Dark Knight (Returns) along with quite a few bottles of Dosvidanya (rye and bourbon). They also have many bombers half off. Normally their clearance is just crappy stuff that has expired, but these are mostly good beers that age well, but were simply too expensive normally to move (Cascade, Bruery, etc.). I read somewhere else that all of the Total Wines in the state were clearing up their bomber selection soon.

    Not twin cities, but today at 10, Beaver Island is having the next release in their Oaklore series - Revolution III. It is a barrel aged RIS, at 10% ABV.

    Not sure if you're still looking, but I saw 2 bottles at Central Ave. Liquors last night around 9pm.

    Gotta think this is priced pretty close to cost... Lowest I've seen is $15.99

    Selling below cost is illegal...
    Not sure why they would attempt this.

    Curious if anyone else is experience tartness or off flavors in 2017 BCS other than MNBeer1017.

    Not saying that I don't believe him, but I don't believe him.

    You sure about that?

    Anyways... you are the only person I have seen mention it. Until I see more people mention it, I consider your experience as an outlier for now.

    I've had a Sept one with a similar experience and have since put the rest of those in the fridge. Hopefully it's just a small number from that day.

    It was 9/15. Had one prior from 9/15 that seemed a bit off and the last one was a more distinguished tart. Haven't seen any out there for 9/1 around the cities. Maybe that was really the 15th?

    Note: the off flavor was nowhere near the 2015 disaster.
