    There should be a pretty good selection. Check with Zipps or South Lyndale.

    Be prepared to pay a sizeable deposit for the keg. I know Indeed was charging $100 and suspect other small breweries have a similar deposit.

    Yeah, I was expecting a deposit. Might only have 1 on tap at a time!

    Anyone see central water rye barrel chocolate Porter hanging around anywhere?

    Had my only bottle tonight and realized I need a couple more! Delicious!

    That's fine... just know that you are not getting the beer as the brewer intended it to be consumed.

    To my taste, older IPAs do not turn into APAs or Milds; the hops fade, sure, and the malts become more predominate, sure, but the hops do not fade in a pleasant way much of the time. The aroma goes, the hops fade from flavorful to merely bitter or just taste off.

    I Just want a BO,BB or Julian on the bottle, some still have nothing at all. Then its a decision that the consumer can make if they desire to.

    I got a bottle of NugMo at Ale Jail on Saturday afternoon. I do not know if they still have any left.

    Why are you holding ipa's in back? They should be in a cooler so they get seen and are enjoyed fresh.
