Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2020

I'm confused. Does this mean they are releasing Thirteen again, in late 2020?

 

Yes

Huh. Which considering you can still find 13 around now, is a little odd.

 

By that logic, I'm still seeing BCBS around so time to stop making it.

 

Schmitz's Economart
Spooner WI, 54801

If you are in the neighborhood.

 

I bought a can last night at Merwin Liquors on Snelling, but it looked to be that last one.

 

Merwin's in Mounds View had a half dozen last week at the counter. Top Valu in **** Rapids may still have a couple.

 

F44 has vanilla Abraxas and ba silhouette

supa sumo in cans

 

For a staggering low price of $28

 

Wut. Wasn’t this $12-$13 a few years back?

Edit: nvm. Had vanilla noir on my mind.

 

seems to be going rate

 

Bought coffee and vanilla this year at around $27 had not tried B4. Will not buy next year until/unless format changes to 12oz.

 

The variants are still all over the place.

 

Has anyone heard anything about BA Expedition Stout? Trading partner asked about it but I haven't seen or heard anything.

 

BCBS is an annual beer so it's expected to be made again even if it's not all sold out.
I wouldn't expect Surly to re-release an anniversary beer that seems to be hanging around some. They haven't re-released any other anniversary beer in stores that I'm aware of.

 

Downtown Target had some as of last week. $11.99. Richfield Liquor on Lyndale and off of Cedar both had some last time I was in.

 

Total Wine stores all received a bunch more 13 from what I saw last weekend at Minnetonka. They had at least 2 cases worth. And Surly 13 is being released again this November per their 2020 calendar.

 

13 is the first Surly anniversary beer that panders to contemporary trends. The fact that it was so quickly added to the 2020 schedule, before building a word-of-mouth following, suggests that it was designed with that in mind. Most of the rest of the anniversary beers (maybe not Four and Five) were intentionally and aggressively off-trend (and, not coincidentally, better beers).

 

True true.
