For those of you that receive or have stumbled upon a copy of Mpls/St. Paul magazine this is old news. For the rest, check out the nice nods they gave to our local, hard working breweries in last month’s issue.
If you’re looking for the Cliff Notes version, here are their “best local brews to sip this summer”:
Lift Bridge Farm Girl Saison (which scored a nice full page version of this picture)
Surly Cynic and Furious
Summit Scandia Ale
Flat Earth Element 115
Congratulations to Flat Earth for taking the People’s Choice title with their Sunburst Apricot Ale at the Saint Paul Summer Beer Fest yesterday! It was a beautiful day and a great festival. If you couldn’t attend I hope you were somewhere else enjoying good beer with good friends.
A little birdie informed me that there is a story on American Craft IPAs in a certain gentleman’s magazine with a Surly Furious can shot. If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, look for one that starts with a “P”.
What are you doing this afternoon? If you’re available, head over to The Bulldog Lowertown. They will be tapping a Lagunitas Censored Copper Ale Firkin.
The weekend is in sight, the heat is showing no signs of abating so you must be thirsty, right? Here’s what you can pick up at Flat Earth to quench that thirst this afternoon.
Belgian Pale Ale
Black Helicopter Coffee Stout
Element 115 Lager
