On Tap In The Twin Cities (2018)

Id l

I'd love to finally try Five and get another BA 15 Darkness, but I get the feeling this will be the most packed beer event in MN history. Not because of the list specifically, but the Superbowl crowd even a week early.

 

I’m not sure if this this Barrel-Aged Silhouette or regular. The tweet is confusing.

 

CBS on tap @ Junction 70 in Cottage Grove, they also have Lagunitas Willettized Coffee Stout & a lot of other great beers on tap. Food isn't too shabby either.

 

That is fantastic news. When they opened I was hopefully for a place in town with some fun stuff on tap.

 

Modist has a Mango Milkshake IPA on tap right now that I couldn't recommend more. I picked up 2 crowlers and wish I got 6. They're sold out now, but it's worth the drive for a pour. Probably the best IPA I've ever had.

 

CBS is still on at Republic

 

I thought Dawn Juan was basically Before the Dawn with a coffee treatment?

EDITORIAL: Most of this sounds great, & if you haven't had 2009 Darkness, hie thy ass hither, because it's (still) one of the best years. But I will make a point of getting there on Friday for the 2013 Patience. One of the most underrated beers in the Twin Cities, & I'm eager to see how it's aged.

 

I stopped reading there - SOLD!

And that Patience sure is tempting... see you there!

 

Abraxas at Maple Tavern. $12 for 10oz

 

most likely.

 

I had a glass on Saturday night & it was much better than I recall. If it's that old, it's an IPA I'd suggest aging!
