I have a cousin that is going to be in these cities for a few days with work. Do any bottle shops in either have TG stuff available? Any other items I should have him look out for?
Some stores should still have Dorothy's Lager in stock. Beyond that though, he would have to basically stumble into a store when the TG truck arrives to find any bottles. Best bet is growler fills.
When will your cousin be in Des Moines? Sue bottles are being delivered tomorrow. Marshalltown probably doesn't even know what craft beer is. That's most likely a Busch Light town. Factory workers.
Makes sense. He's a chemical engineer that's going around checking all the valves for his company. He gets there this evening I believe. Unfortunately, he's not into craft besides what I give him. So any stores you'd highly recommend in Des Moines?
Yes. Any of these 3 stores will have pseudo Sue bottles tomorrow. Not sure what time they'll be delivered though. If he doesn't strike fast, he might miss out, as bottles usually sell out the day they are delivered. HyVee on Fleur HyVee at Prairie Trail in Ankeny HyVee in Pleasant Hill
