Minnesota Thread

[yamar68]

That double shot double black comes out next week. Too much beer right now but I might have to go for a case.

I think it's a 2 bottle limit? That's the only thing keeping me from going up.

It's getting distro'd down here

 

[Dbijnagte]

Yeah, I'll probably end up trading for some more

 

[ilovestouts]

For the record:

I like Minnesota, and the people that reside in Minnesota. The beer is good too.

Todd dropping today! My 12-pack order is already in...

There are talks that they will be alternating between canning Todd and Abrasive regularly, making them complementary semi-year-round beers?

Seems like that's what's happening, and it's brilliant.

I hear there are talks that you have kegs of Todd delivered to you on the regular...

Man, this MN thread is far less industrious than the one at BA.

It's true. We used to have a private conversation going but none of us like each other anymore. We tend to stick to our Facebook groups now.

Nice! Just like my high school friends.

The best drama comes from the Fb groups.

Have you tried Saga yet? By far the best MN IPA for the money.

Good to know the sentiment is universal. For a second there, I thought I was still on BA.

First TB lesson: how to use the "Like" button.

So you guys are all coming to this stupid event tomorrow right? I have put entirely way too much time into it. Please come drink with me.

That's the charity thing by the mall, right?

Yes. Cheers for Charity.

The beer list didn't end up too bad, IMO. No huge whalez, but TG is bringing DDH Sue and Zeelander, Forager is bringing good stuff, Sisyphus has their new NE style IPA and their sorta BA coffee stout, Town Hall with Mango Mama.

Plenty of stuff to drink, I guess is my point.

I only buy tickets to events with walez on the draft list. How can I sneer at all the casuals who like Excelsior otherwise?

We're in town for one night Tuesday July 5. Already planning on stopping by Surly and Town Hall. Any other can't miss spots?

Fairstate, dangerous man, indeed are all great. Only one night I'd do fairstate.

If you're doing town hall brewery you might as well stop at republic across the street. 100ish taps.

Sisyphus has been my favorite spot lately. Can be hit or miss with what they have on though because they have such a small system.

Definitely Dangerous Man.

 

[sacrelicio]

You can eat at Surly.

Soooooo, what does Mango Mama go for these days? I see Town Hall released some growlers on Friday.

 

[Fingolfin]

It will release again too, in a month I think.

 

[mrpeterandthepuffers]

Did mango mama used to be good and changed or has it always tasted like that? I've had it twice now this year and I find it nearly undrinkable. I don't understand the appeal, at all.

Haven't tried this batch but from my experience it's basically a fruit beer. Tastes like mango juice. Not real sense that it used to be an IPA

 

[Minnesotaryan]

I want mango 300!

Yeah, it tasted like bitter mango. No real IPA flavor. Was just wondering why people scoop that **** up so quickly. Not a fan at all.

This thread seems pretty dead, but I figured that I would ask here. I'll be visiting some family in MN for the first time in over ten years. Well, I'm really going there to drink, but seeing family there is cool.

I'm looking for some cool watering holes (beer and liquor) in the Minneapolis area, as well as interesting eating spots I should hit up.

I have this list so far:

• Psycho Suzi's
• Lawless Distilling
• Parlour
• Tiki Tim's Grill
• Eat Street Social
• Red Cow
• Surly
• Dangerous Man
• Butcher and the Boar
• Town Hall
• George and Dragon
• Hell's Kitchen
• The Lowery

Indeed is worth a visit, too

Skip psycho suzi's unless you're set on it. Food is fine, drinks are fine, service is meh, good atmosphere.

Butcher and the boar is great.

Aside from what you have listed:

Liquor stores:
Zipps
Lake Wine and Spirits
South Lyndale
Stinson Wine and Spirits
Elevated
France 44

Beer bars:
Happy Gnome
Grizzlys (Plymouth)
Ansaris (Eagan)
RePublic
Happy Gnome
Dark Horse

Breweries (NE Minneapolis breweries are all close):
BlackStack (just opened, starting pretty well)
Fairstate (NE)
Indeed (NE)
Dangerous Man (NE)
Fulton
Modist (only if you do Fulton as well)

Food:
If you're willing to venture to a suburb Trevail has amazing food and Wicked Wort brewing is across the street (which is hit or miss).
You need tickets ahead of time for trevail but it's wonderful.

PM me if you need any help gathering beers or want to grab a drink. There are 3 or 4 out state breweries (like 2-3 hours away) that I might be able get crowlers/cans from ahead of time.

Well timed bump for this thread, was just going to start preliminary research ahead of coming out for the National Homebrewers Conference in June.
