    Star of the North was one of my first ever sour experiences – anyone else had this beer? Thoughts?

    The second in the series was released yesterday – Framboise du Nord. I’m stalking my stores right now to grab a few!

    Star of the North is a Top 5 new beer of 2013 for me. I had Framoise du Nord last night and amazingly, it tops it! Fantastic series and can't wait for the next release in the Spring!

    I could have drank a bottle of Star of the North every night this past summer, so d@mn good! In my opinion a Berliner up there with New Glarus's, but didn't get noticed as much. I'll have to try the new one.

    I rate SotN a tad bit higher than NG Berliner Weisse, but both were amazing beers. FdN is next level.

    I am hoarding bottles of SotN right now when I see them. I think I have 4. I want at least 4 FDN and I haven't even tasted it yet!!

    I see SotN all over the place by me still. Does anyone know the bottle count?

    Wish there were bottles around here left. It went VERY quick once it hit shelves here in the Summer. I still have one bottle that I'll probably open when I pop the cork on my next FdN.

    I'd be willing to work out a trade for some Toppling Goliath bottles :slight_smile:

    I see SotN in pockets. Some stores ran out quickly in the cities. Others still have a case or two. I don't knwo the barrel count on that one, or the release. I know FDN was a 70 barrel release.

    I wish the price point on FdN was lower. I understand knocking it up a few bucks for the raspberries, but $5 (a 50% increase) feels like too much. Don't get me wrong - I think it's a great beer, and I love that they're doing it! I was planning on buying several, I'll be dialing that down because of the cost.

    I would if he asked but I'm assuming he doesnt care since he's in Iowa and not Minnesota.

    Totally agree. I had a bit of sticker shock on this one too.

    I've been to several stores in the SW metro and haven't seen it yet. Any tips?
