101 degrees in MPLS today

Finished off the rest of a 6-pack of Third Street Rise To The Top Cream Ale I bought yesterday. I will definately be buying more of this as it is low ABV, refreshing, and attractively priced. Now drinking Summit Summer Ale.

 

Drank two pints of Excelsior Brewing's 8% IPA on my deck, and then took a three hour nap. Hopsession tonight haha.

 

I'm giving the heat a big middle finger and drinking a founders imperial stout. Of course, I'm doing it in my air conditioned living room, so that might be cheating.

 

was able to buy a case of 2009 GI Pierre Jacques (22oz) for $48 bucks, so enjoying one and pretty happy with my haul:
6 Raspberry Tart
6 Belgian Red
Bohr
Dirac
2 Founder's FMB
2 4 packs of NG IIPA (love that beer)
2 Ruination 10 yr's
2 Rye Wyne Ale
and only spent a lil bit over $200

 

Harriet Brewing East Side, West Side, Pils, Wodan Weizen, Saison Nourrice, all on tap at the Taproom, while/after DJing for 3 hours, now home with a growler to see fireworks at Powderhorn Park.

 

So what are you drinking tomorrow?

 

the growler of Ballast Point thats been in my fridge since Fri. Taking the Dorado Double over to Yulles's house. Most of the 8 NG IIPA's aren't gonna make the night.

 

Marmalade Sky at Town Hall Tap, might have had another, but the place was obviously beginning to melt. Probably 90 degrees in there, they had no ice, & all the ice cream had melted in the 'freezer'. Yeesh.

 

went there at 2 and wasnt open. paid the 4 bones to park for nuttin.

 

Opened my very last bottle of Steel Toe Size 11 and wowed the neighbors.

 

a growler of steel toe sommer vice and a bomber of rain maker. and air conditioning!

 

Founders FMB, CW Exodus, Conflux No.1, founders Breakfast stout and a fresh Devil Dancer, wrapped it up with a RR Nevermore n tap.

 

I drank a 4-pack of Hell and lit up my neighborhood.

 

I was wondering how the 3rd St stuff is? I think i sampled it at some fest, but dont really recall. Whats the price point?

I went to a pool party yesterday, and was pleased to find a couple of Summer Ales mixed among the piles of Mich Golden and Bud Light Limes in the fridge. Even Mich Golden aint to shabby when it hits triple digits, provided its cold.

 

I said no to beer and instead went with French/France 75 and a couple of margarita's.

 

It was $7.99 a sixer at Haskell's.

 

99 degrees out there right now! I think I'd better pick up some Bitter Brewer later...

 

Been holding it down with Oberon (has anyone noticed the 5L mini-kegs for sale around the metro?) and a plentiful supply of 21st Amend Bitter American. I normally avoid "session" brews, but the BA is just so delicious.

 

I think Schell should make it a point to tout the Hefe as a 'session' beer(most probably dont realize, as ABV isnt on the bottle). They seem to be all the rage these days, certainly in the summer. Its an amazing Hefe, especially when you compare it to the 7% Dancin Man.

Haskells has 12 pks for 11.99 right now. Impossible to beat.
