Okay, so it’s not entirely beer-related, but a lot of MNBeer readers dig bikes, and of course we’re all down with the local thing. Hence, I’ve been digging Twin Six, a local company that designs cycling gear that deviates from the norm. Good stuff. To keep this beer-related, I suggest you check out the brewpub jersey, brewpub t-shirt… ladies, too… and of course they have pint glasses and coasters… the real question, though, is how much local beer could I fit in this bag?

Cask Tuesday at Barley John’s
Today! Stockyard IPA with 1 oz. of Amarillo and 1 oz. of Crystal. It looks as if the Kolsch is gone as well as the ESB, leaving Dark Knight and Rosie’s Old Ale as the seasonal offerings. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see another offering from Barley John’s soon…
Buster’s on 28th
Has anyone checked out Buster’s on 28th yet? They’ve been open for a very short time, but it sounds like a visit might be worthwhile. Their website* has a listing of their draft beers and the list is pretty nice – locals beers include Flat Earth, Summit ESB and EPA, Surly Furious as well as some tasty beer from the rest of the world including Delerium Tremens, Ommegang Hennepin, Rush River Bubblejack, Paulaner Hefe, etc. Their bottle collection looks good too… I believe it may be time for an adventure…
*waiting for the first person to comment on the photo of the stout in the pilsener glass…
Bohemia in SW Suburbs?
Bryan is looking to find the Mexican import Bohemia in the SW suburbs. This one isn’t on my radar, so if anyone knows where to find it, post it in the comments.
Thanks…
