Thanks for the responses. To be honest, I haven't tried St. Bernardus 12 or even Chimay blue. So for now, I think I will go find some of those (both available locally) before I go straight to the super rare quads. And when I'm ready to find and drink some Westvleteren, It's good to know there...

I saw a local Craigslist ad for 3 bottles of Westvleteren that was purchased at the brewery. He/she is asking $40 per bottle. I would love to try this, but $40 buys a lot of Rochefort 10. To me, this sounds way overpriced, but I don't really have a point of reference. I get that it's a...

I should have enough to get me through most of this cold MN winter. Thanks InityBrew!

Bell's Expedition Stout

One of the most memorable beer experiences of my life was drinking a pint of Guinness at the top of the brewery looking over Dublin. I'd like to think that a proper Guinness pour played a part in my experience.

I'm drinking my last can of Surly Wet. Only a couple more weeks before Darkness arrives!

I'm drinking my last SurlyFest... Until next year good friend.

I'll add another vote for the Four Firkins in St. Louis Park. And as long as you're there, about a mile away is Steel Toe Brewery. They have a taproom with some great beers. Check their hours first though, to make sure they're open.

I'm pretty pumped to hear this. I just learned that there is a total wine and more opening up a few miles from me. This will be their first store in MN and it should be open by the end of the year.

The Four Firkins in St. Louis Park, MN. They have an amazing selection of beers and their staff is top notch. I've gone in there looking for a style of beer without really knowing what the good options were, and they helped me put together a nice looking six pack. They also have regular beer...

Yum!

I bought a 4 pack of wet yesterday ( now its a 3 pack). I'll run to the store now and see of there is any left. We'll talk

I just poured a Surlyfest Lager And I have a Surly Wet on deck

I've got a 4 pack of Surly Wet waiting for me at home. Not all for tonight, but it will be gone soon enough. This beer is for drinking, not for aging.

I usually buy local. As previously stated, I want to support my local businesses. I'm probably paying a little more, but I'm not exactly scraping by. I think of it as making an investment. If I decide to brew in a whim, or I need something quick, like an airlock or sanitizer, I can just stop...

I bought a fuel cell breathalyzer a while ago. I paid about $150 for it, but that's certainly cheaper than a DUI. I usually don't drive if I've been drinking, but on the rare occasion that I do, it's nice to at least have a reference point. The accuracy of consumer grade breathalyzers can be...

I went off the grid and purchased ingredients for my first "non-store bought kit" AG brew. It will be a small batch Belgian Tripel, to be brewed this weekend. Wish me luck. Oh, I also bought a bench corker/capper. Thank you Craigslist.
