Wall’s End is a smooth Northern English Brown Ale that is refreshing enough for summer drinking and substantive enough for bitter Minnesota winters. Wall’s End is malt-focused, English-hopped and highly sessionable at 4.8% ABV. Growlers of Wall’s End will be available for $12 after a $5 container deposit. Growlers of additional Northgate Brewing beers will be available in the near future.

The collaborative beer is the is like the split 7″ of the punk rock world. That being said, perhaps I need to play my copy of the split from The Strike and Dillinger Four while I sample this particular beer.

Indeed Brewing Co. and Northbound Smokehouse have collaborated on a beer aptly named Hot Box, an Imperial Smoked Pepper Porter. Say that five times fast while listening to jam bands in the brewhouse! The recipe was designed by Smokehouse brewer and owner Jamie Robinson and Indeed head brewer Josh Bischoff and brewed at Indeed with malt and peppers smoked at Northbound.

You can get your hands on some starting at 3pm today (Monday) at Northbound Smokehouse or Thursday at Indeed. Limited bottles will be available for sale at Indeed as well.
