    So my brothers girlfriend lives in Minneapolis area and is willing to pick me up some tasty beers. I live in Iowa. Any suggestions?? on what I should pick up from the state of MN. Ipa's prefferably. Surly wet is on the top of my lisit at the moment if available. Any suggestion would help.....

    How about Surly Furious or Abrasive, although I think Abrasive is a seasonal and may not be available now?

    Between Wet, Furious, and Size 7, there's not too much I can add. Summit Saga is pretty good, especially for the price, so I'd probably recommend that too. Sweet Child of Vine by Fulton isn't bad, but it's nothing special. Sheep Head Ale by Brau Brothers is fairly good, in a unique, almost amber ale type of way. Abrasive isn't currently available, otherwise a good suggestion.

    And if you have any access to TG bring up some bombers and/or growlers of G-nug and their other goodies!

    Pick up Summit Saga IPA in my opinion it is a best value. I still don't get how they can keep the prices so low.

    Certainly masala mama and furious, #2 & #4 on the Top American IPA lists, if you put stock in the rankings. I do, they are both delicious. I second everything else everybody has mentioned, you can't go wrong with Steel Toe Size 7, Rainmaker is also very good. Surly Wet is fantastic this year, by the way. Abrasive in a couple months. Then are you limiting to MN local breweries, or stuff you can't get in IA? They distribute Stone there? Ruination, IPA, & the 10th Ann. Ruination is delicious. Back to MN again..Is Indeed bottling yet? Daytripper is nice.

    They are selling 750ml bottles of Day Tripper at the taproom until the canning line is up.

    Visit Harriet Brewing at Lake and Minnehaha for a growler of West Side Belgian-style IPA, if you go in for that sort of thing. I do.

    You also should be able to get bottles of Indeed's Fresh Hop Ale at their Taproom, while supplies last.

    You do? Or just did? I'm fairly confident your Wednesday night Harriet buzz has not worn off yet.

    I didn't DJ tonight. Had to work. All those people at the taproom missing out on my sweet, sweet jazz...it makes me cry.
