    Not a long shot at all, seen it at a few places, can't imagine it is too hard to find.

    Sorry I don't have specific places, been to too many recently to specifically remember what places. Looks like gatornation has one spot, sure others will be able to pin point other locations.

    Four Firkins Oakdale had a few cases of VaS and Grapefruit Sculpin last night. I've seen it reappearing at a few other places in the east metro as well (Heritage today and others) - seems like another shipment hit.

    Also - it was alluded to earlier in this thread, but just to confirm - Casanova's in Hudson has Hopslam as of now.

    If anyone was wondering, I was wandering through the Big Top in Mounds View and they still had some Expedition Stout for sale, $16.49 a six pack if anyone was interested.

    Sid's in Bloomington had some very recently... I believe liquor barrel on excelsior also had some recently.

    Stopped at the Cub Liquor in Stillwater on Silhouette Day and saw Big Lushious on the shelf along with CW BBS and a few other goodies.

    Saw bo and Luke hit Chicago, since we are seeing against the grain, I'm guessing this beer will hit our area soon!

    Great Divide Barrel-Aged Hibernation for $24.99 at Zipps.

    Steep, but considering I'm 98% sure it's never reached MN before, that I've tried to trade for it multiple times, & it'd been on my wants list since 2010...I paid, gladly.

    I saw BA hibernation as well, but didn't want to pay $25 for it. I had it a few years ago and definitely considered buying it, but damn the price is high.

    Use that Groupon floating around and that knocks off $8 which makes it more reasonable.
