Minnesota Thread

[mrpeterandthepuffers]

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

I'm so mad I have a wedding that weekend in Seattle. Ken Schramm and Jace Marti would both be awesome to hear speak about their respective specialties.

Didn't get to do as much as I wanted, but had a good time.

• Butcher and the Boar was flat out amazing.
• Psycho Suzi's was fun. We sat on the deck Monday night, and it was 65 degrees and beautiful.
• Town Hall had good food and decent beer.
• Republic is a great bar with a good selection.
• Blackstack was good, but only 5 beers on.
• Surly tour and dinner was great. Bought some cool schwag too.

Oh my:

What may be the largest tap takeover in Twin Cities history starts on January 28, as Surly commandeers 52 taps at HopCat in downtown Minneapolis. Rare beers, flagships, seven Darkness variations, all our anniversary beers–it’s going to be BIG.

Lots of good stuff being brewed up there. Personally, I think Hoops is the best all-around.

Bent Paddle and Castle Danger are both great. Across the bridge in Superior thirsty pagan was good from what I remember and for liquor stores you should check out keyport liquors. Nick Casper who is the beer manager does a great job.

Check out Duluth Trading Co if you need a shirt.

Fitgers. The grandfather of Duluth breweries & worth a stop every time we roll through.

 

[sacrelicio]

I second Hoops for being very good.

Keep in mind that you may have to refinance your house though if you do.

I always find something exceptional at the Mount Royal Bottle Shop

I went to Firkin Fest at the Happy Gnome yesterday, and it was awesome. If you get the chance, give it a whirl, each brewery makes something specifically for the event.

Any of you guys pick up one of the Fulton -mixed BA 4 packs? I really like the move from bombers to 12 oz cans

Black Stack has been on fire recently. I like Local 755, but I loved On One and Thread Count. Sent all three in a BIF and they were reviewed very positively

Thread Count is the best new IPA I've had this year. Might hold the title all the way to the end. Fantastic beer.

Enjoyed the 4 pack quite a bit especially from a price standpoint. Although the porter didn't particularly give any barrel notes. The rest were good to great in my opinion.

Dat A Deal with the Devil Light!!

Only beer from them worth a damn.

 

[fbslim201]

Not the best NEIPA in MN, but not bad for tiny little Nisswa.

 

[fbslim201]

Alright, I’m just going to keep rolling here. I thought Barrel Theory was overrated til I had this

Now I’m all...

One man’s opinion

 

[fbslim201]

These guys are just around the corner for me. They can be hit or miss, but this is a hit. Lost in Translucence. Drinks like haze, but is relatively clear. A little bit of spice from the hops was a nice surprise!

 

[sacrelicio]

Mirror Universe is great. Drinking a can from March and it's fantastic still.
