On Tap in the Twin Cities-May Edition

Roadside in Blaine has a 2013-2016 Bourbon County flight for $26. A little steep for me, but I'm sure there will be some takers.

 

Call me a sucker. I haven't had quite all of those yet. Thanks for the FYI!

 

Surly will have BA Darkness aged on red oak with cherries added for their Tuesday cask.

 

may 18th at grizzlys.

Prairie Artisan Ales - Bible Belt, Paradise and Funky Gold Citra
&
Perennial Artisan Ales - Sump, 17, and Glitter & Gold

 

Will flights be at the normal price or some special price?

 

Straight Hash Homie is still on at Republic despite my last three attempts to drink my body weight.

 

they havent posted prices yet. said it wont be flights only as well. they have done that in the past, where straight pours werent available.

 

For you guys that don't mind driving a bit west, Hooey, Blissful Ignorance, and Straight Hash Homie are on at Hollywood Roadhouse. Hooey is my favorite of the 3.

 

Hooey at Republic 7 corners. Nice, balanced tap list there these days. I could drink my body weight...

 

Starting tomorrow, Ansari's will have crowlers of Junkyard Simcoe Single Hopped DIPA available for on-site consumption. They are finally entering the Twin Cities market. Hopefully we start seeing crowlers in stores as well.

 

We are launching a charity tap at Sisyphus I'm really excited about,copy pasted info here:

You might know we named our brewery Sisyphus because of our small size and brew system (2 barrel or 62 gallon system). Surly makes more in 1 of their new big fermenters than we make all year, just for an idea of perspective.

But you probably don't know the name truly comes from my lifelong struggle with mental health issues. Discovering brewing and and owning my own business honestly changed my life. But I would never be at this point if before that, The Myth of Sisyphus hadn't changed my life. And the other thing that changed my life: seeking help for mental health issues that are real, common, and treatable.

Today we are launching what was my goal from the start, a tap dedicated to giving back. Our first one goes towards NAMI - The National Alliance on Mental Illness. https://untappd.com/b/sisyphus-brewing-for-nami-nah-mean/2084423

So please come in and toast a pint to a great cause! I could not be more excited to be at the point where we can give back to the world. We started small to stay small, but giving back will hopefully always be a part of that from this day forward.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for sharing Sam. Being open about your own struggles helps so many others with theirs. Openness leads to understanding by all and leads to further acceptance for all of us who struggle with mental health issues.

 

If anyone is going to Stanley's Beer & Bacon Fest on Saturday, Disgruntled is bringing Lord Bert's.

 

Thanks for the info! I'm going with a bunch of co-workers and its good to know there will be one beer to hunt down! Was worried it be all summer beers and the regular lineups from places.

 

I went last year for the first time. The vast majority of breweries just bring flagships and seasonals, since it is a generic beer festival. There were almost no lines for beer because everyone was in the bacon lines. The Groupons this year were pretty cheap, so any limited releases are a bonus.

 

Disgruntled Numba Two on tap at Grizzly's in Plymouth. Single hopped with Galaxy. Another yummy one.

 

Also at Grizzly's- Disgruntled Persnickity. Bourbon barrel aged Brett Saison. Pretty cool, the bourbon is there but takes a backseat to yeast/funk, at least until it warms.
