Beer finds around Michiana

So I was out running errands on Saturday and decided to stop by Belmont on South Bend Avenue, and Citywide on Jefferson Avenue. Cutting on the chance, here is what I found...

Belmont (South Bend Avenue)
- At least 1 4-pack of Founders Devil Dancer
- 2 bottles of Founders Blushing Monk
- A large lineup of 3 Floyds bombers
- Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree
- Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster

Citywide (Jefferson Avenue)
- Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti
- Great Divide Belgian Yeti
- Great Lakes Doppelrock (It's outside it's date by a month, but they've lowered the price to $4.99, a great deal)
- Still a few 3 Floyds Blackheart, APW, etc
- Left Hand Wake Up Dead
- Tons of delicious Caldera IPA, Amber and Pale
- 3 year vertical of Stone Imperial Russian Stout
- Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster

That's just a sample of what I found, feel free to share what you've come across as well!

Founders Blushing Monk available in the South Bend area!

Blushing Monk (9.2% "Belgian Style Ale fermented with pure raspberries") has hit the South Bend area in VERY limited quantities, with most stores getting a case of the 750ml bottles. Blushing Monk was once bottled, but retired quite some time ago, and recently resurrected for a one-time release as part of their "Backstage Series."

Here's a list of places in the area that I know do, or do not, have this in stock.

Citywide (Jefferson Rd, South Bend) - The entire case has been allocated.

Citywide (Grape Rd, Mishawaka) - Should have some bottles available, received 1 case.

Belmont (South Bend Ave, South Bend) - Did not/will not receive any.

Belmont (933/Dixie Way, South Bend) - Did not/will not receive any.

Chalet Party Shoppe (Nappanee, CR17 & Cass in Elkhart) - None of these locations have it in stock, the CR17 location hopes to get a case today, but aren't sure if they will receive any.

If you want this limited edition brew, get it while you can, because if it's available by Friday (or even tomorrow), I would be very surprised.

***Update on the Blushing Monk at Belmont, I mistakenly mentioned that they received a case. This was based on bad information I was given, and they in fact did not receive any Blushing Monk.

3 Floyds Blackheart available in South Bend

I recently picked up this little number in South Bend, and is available at Belmont on South Bend Ave, and Citywide on Grape. Blackheart (9% abv) is an English style IPA, brewed with all traditional English ingredients and aged on toasted oak. Get it while you still can!

Goose Island Big John

Many thanks to the guys at Belmont for supplying me with a very hard to get bottle of Big John from Goose Island. Big John is an imperial stout, brewed with cocoa nibs and roasted malt, with an abv of 11.5%. If you want a bottle, try the Belmont on South Bend Ave in South Bend. Supplies are VERY limited, but they also have plenty of other really good beer in case you miss out!
