    Just got home from there, so happy I got to try Rum King. We missed just missed it Saturday at Indeed. Wish I had gotten some bottles now.

    It was at MacKenzie's. It's tapping along with Sweet Repute next Tuesday at Happy Gnome. Currently CW BBBW pours are 7$/10oz at the Gnome.

    Or bottles? Saw this was out in Michigan but haven't seen it around here yet, though I have tried to stay out of liquor stores for the past week or so.

    I haven't seen anything. I rarely hear any rumblings from them anymore around here..

    Anybody who hasn't had Rosie's Old Ale from Barley John's, hie your ass hither. The best beer made in Minnesota since '07 Darkness.

    Yeah that stuff is amazing!! I was so impressed with it that I spent the insane amount they were asking for a growler. I'm actually drinking a glass of it right now at home and watching the U.S. hockey team dominate. Couldn't get any better.

    Stopped at barley johns tonight. Rosie's was phenomenal. However, that glass made me so nervous

    For real?!?
    If so, that is quite an upgrade from the last time I was at 600 First Avenue.

    Yep! 12oz. pours for $10. Not bad for a sporting event. Talked to someone who does their marketing at the game. Sounds like they're going to have a "beer of the game" in 8 more games this season. Cocao Bender and Abrasive were mentioned for future games.

    I'm hoping it will stick around for another two weeks since I'm going up there for my birthday.

    It well might. When I stopped in Monday, one of the employees said they made 200 gallons & about half of it was left. That's a lot of beer at 6 oz. a crack.

    Might make me attend my first TWolves game in 8 or 9 years. Twins okay with their offerings and the Wild have Summit EPA, so pro sporting events have definitely stepped up their game.

    You can buy cans of Surly at Wild games now. They have some other decent taps on the lower and club levels too. Unfortunately theirs not much to be had on the upper level other than Summit EPA bottles and the occasional random craft beer at the beer carts (ex. Lucid Foto, misc Flat Earth offerings, etc.)
