    So I had the day off and went beer hunting in the Cities for stuff I can't find in Roch. Thought I would share with the info for others. Yes, I know I have no life. Cheers!!

    France 44 - Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch (still some available)
    Edina Liquor Vernon Ave - Old Rasputin XIV Anniversary (still 2 bottles left)
    Edina Liquor York Ave - Hopslam (3 - 6 packs left)
    Haskell's Bloomington - Sierra Nevada 30th Jack & Ken's Ale (they have plenty as well as the 30th Grand Cru)
    Haskell's Highland Park - CW Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout (they also had some CW illumination, CW PM, Old Ras XIV, Odell's Wood cut #4 and 5)
    Grand Ave Liquors - CW BBBW (they also had beer geek brunch, CW illumination, and CW BBS)
    Arbor Pointe Liquors Inver Grove Heights - Double Crooked Tree (they have a fair amount of CW BBBW and some CW PM)

    No life? That sounds like a perfect day to me! If I had unlimited time and money, I would go to all of the stores every day. Also: liver transplant. It's probably a good thing that I have a wife, a job, and limited cellar space to keep me in check. In summary: thanks for the tips!

    On a related note, found bottles of 2007 Mephistoles and 2010 Boulevard Chocolate ale yesterday, wasn't able to pick them up at the time, will be going back after work today I think, unless someone tells me those are not good.

    I think I got the last CW PM out of Haskell's Highland (there was one more 4 of Cherry when I left), and I think I got the last Double Crooked Tree out of Arbor Pointe.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Lakeside Fine Wine & Spirits? The '10 Chocolate Ale is not doing well at all with age. Sweet with very little chocolate left.

    Liberty Village in Stillwater. So I'll pass on the boulevard (too bad too as the 11 I had was of the bad batch and I really wanted to try it) how about the Avery stuff.

    I hear ya. I felt badly, but then somebody had to get the last one, and better me than the guy in front of me.
    I might be willing to trade a couple if you've got anything interesting...

    The Mephistopheles pushes 17% abv so it should be just fine if not great.

    Still a bunch of no-date abrasive at Cellars Roseville if anyone has desire for that.
