    Four in cans...I think I might have just pooped myself.

    Beers I haven't seen mentioned yet that stood out to me:
    Lagunita's MN Fusion - loved this black IPA
    Green Flash Le Freak - Excited for Green Flash beers
    Northgate Lavender ESB - much better than I expected
    Bent Paddle Cold Press Bent Black - great coffee beer

    Sat on the BA9k until it was gone and then moved onto Pour Decisions MN Weisse until it was gone. There were a few other remember-able beers, but these two were the clear winners for me.

    Hits:
    Northbound Wet Hop (better than Wet)
    Northgate Double Wall
    NB Love Felix
    Big Sky Ivan
    Ballast Point Pale and Amber (seriously)
    North Coast 88 Barleywine (much better than the Deschutes version)
    Deschutes Abyss 12 and 13, Black Butte XXIV and XXV
    Pour Decisions MN Weisse and Ambiguity

    No real misses for me, the Fitger's cherry was a bit overrated (still good though).

    I think it was a Dangerous Man and Big Wood tie. Not my top MN breweries.

    Thanks. Can't argue with the beer choice as it was fantastic, but for Big Wood to trump so many other great breweries just doesn't make sense. I would have thought Travelers, with their "free mustache ride" would have been best display.
