I’m going to keep on drinking Ruthie…I like it and that’s all that matters to me. They will end up settling and the Bisignano family should be happy the beer has brought their name front and center again In a positive way.

As for West O…def a stop when I’m up in Boji. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Caseys, HyVee, Kum&Go are the worst gas choices for your car. Choose TopTier Gas stations like Phillips66, KwikStar, QuickTrip, etc.

So is the difference additives? You seem to have opinions or no something about gasoline.

That's one way to look at theft. "Yeah we stole it, but we also made a bunch of money from using it, so you should be happy"

Top Tier difference

Most major automakers recommend using Top Tier gasoline, which is sold by most well-known fuel retailers. Top Tier gas contains detergent additives that go beyond federal standards to better protect today’s increasingly sophisticated engines.

I'm concerned about the wording of "case". I hope their wording of "case" means your token microbrew 6 pack. Correct me if I'm wrong and I don't want to be that guy, but if "case" means 24 pack, then isn't a "case" of (any microbrew) not going to cost $50? I dont see too many people dropping $50 for a case of beer when it is going to be sitting next to a case for $19. But that's just me. I may very well do it once to say I got some Cyclone Beer, but next time I dont see myself doing it again. Hopefully I am misinterpreting the word "case" when it could be "pack."

@brentblum might be getting ahead of myself but any chance this will be outside of IA? Any chance for Chicagoland or IL?

I've never seen a small brewery sell a 24 pack but that's a good question. I'm assuming a 6 or 12 pack. But maybe @brentblum can clarify

At some point, Kwik Star stopped offering TopTier. I don't recall how I know that, or if it has since returned.

Costco also offers TopTier gas.

Right, plus the general consensus is Kum N Go just sucks ass
I like Kum & Go better than the others. Casey's are dirty and manned by meth heads. At Kwik Star I feel like the cashier is going to jump the counter and hug me when they greet me. Tone it down Betty...and no I don't want a cookie or a banana!
