    Town Hall won best beer for their Apricot Wheat I believe. Best brewery was Borealis.

    Picked up a couple bombers last night at a liquor store there in Duluth.

    I think my favorite beer was one not even listed in the program. It was at the Fulton "booth". I put that in parentheses because they didn't have much of a presence. Just two beers and they were been poured by volunteers from Finnegans.

    Anyways, at the same "booth" they also had two beers from Leech Lake Brewing. One of them was a Pineapple Pale Ale, which was actually a sour. Very good!

    I noticed none of the Fulton guys were there.

    I voted for Borealis and bought a glass. Nice people.

    I enjoyed the Pineapple Ale, also the Scottish. Nobody mentioned that they were from Leech Lake.

    Town Hall didn't bring an Apricot Wheat. you're thinking of Fitger's. I think it was Mango Mama they won for.
