On Tap in the Twin Cities - August Edition

Butcher and the Boar has a NE-style IPA by Evil Twin on right now. Not sure id say it's my favorite I've ever had, but it's pretty solid and looks the part.

 

Bricks in Blaine has Bourbonic Plague. $10 10oz or it's available to pick in a flight as a $3 5oz.

It tastes exactly how I imagined BA Pentagram would taste. Really makes me wish I'd picked one up when they were everywhere.

 

Town Hall Brewery had a beer called Chinook Smash on right now. It doesn't quite stand up to Nelson Smash, but it's still damn good with a really nice lingering bitternes. Manhatten Reserve is also on, and nice.

Go drink them now, because we all know @Chaz won't.

 

Big Wet Baby is back on tap at Sisyphus. It is a double IPA with Amarillo, Smcoe, Citra and Mosaic.

Guess I know what the value of my stash is going to be.

 

Would not buy any of those bottles at the price they are charging.

 

My thoughts exactly. The anniversary beers are a joke especially since you can still find 7-9 on shelves.

 

Yeah I would like to try 7 but was hoping for $20 or less.

I would be stupid enough to pay $60 for the 2010 Darkness though.

 

They had me unti "vinyl DJ". That says so much in two words.

 

Haha right, how sad it has to be specified.

 

Agreed. Have paid for those old Darkness bottles before at the old Brewers table and was worth it. They are amazing beer which makes me want to try and cellar the newer bottles I have. And not like they are easy to find for less at this point. Agreed that the anniversary beers are way overpriced.

 

I will definitely be attending for 2010 Darkness. IMO, that beer is worth far more than $60 right now. Fucking cherry bomb.

But I feel for the poor sap who pays money for a Syx.

 

Where is Surly 8 on the shelf?

 

Definatley worth a try. I had a 10 & an 11 about 4 month's ago , both were great upon first sips smooth & mellow but then changed to a very sweet/cloying malty finish as it warmed.

 

So I'm a little confused. On this site people mention this being Todd's work over at 3Floyd's, yet when I google it, his name isn't mentioned.

Lazurite and Salmon Pants definitely predated Haug. Foggy Geezer debuted in Europe at the beginning of this year (maybe late last year), so it's possible Haug had a hand in the recipe, but I'm guessing it was a Copenhagen product.

I visited the Three Floyds brewpub in Munster last year, and I thought the WarPigs beers (then brewed in Copenhagen) were a big step down from the Three Floyds beers. I'm hoping Haug can work his wizardry on WarPigs USA, because it needs his help.
