Alpine Brewing coming to Minnesota

cold spring better not F up Alpine's beer!

 

Are they going to sell any of it in MN?

 

Hopefully Cold Spring sanitizes its equipment to get rid of that nasty Cold Spring taste first.

 

Duet is one of favorite IPA"S ever

 

A buddy of mine was at Alpine a month or two ago, and this came up. They told him they were unsure if they would actually distribute any of their brews here.

Would be a sad day to have Alpine deliciousness that close, but not be able to buy it...

 

If they don't sell it here, I am breaking into that brewery.

 

"A beer being contract-brewed in a state does not insure that it will be distributed in that state."

I remember when 21st Amendment was first brewed at Cold Spring and wondering when we'd see some stick around, and it wasn't too long after -- hopefully for y'all it's not too long for Alpine, either!

 

Duet is probably my favorite single IPA ever. There are a lot of nuances to Alpine's IPA line up, I just hope that they can translate through a contract brewery. And while I don't know much about Cold Spring's beers, some of these initial reactions have me worried about this kind of deal.

 

Cold Spring makes crappy beer, but I I'm sure they can contract brew just fine. Not sure what 21st Amendment tasted like originally (before the Cold Spring deal) but the cans we have here taste just fine.

 

This.

 

I don't drink much cold spring but have heard numerous accounts of their improved quality. How long before this is changed to "cold spring MADE crappy beer." Maybe my point is that a bad reputation must be really hard to kick

 

That would be slap in the face if they brewed beer here and didn't let me taste it!!! Don't be that guy Alpine!!!

 

how often do brewers contract out of state and then not distribute in the state where they contract brew?

 

Is this Cold Spring or Third Street brewing this beer? I thought Cold Spring Brewery was being retired along with all their crappy beer. And I thought Cold Spring blamed their crappy beer on their crappy equipment. I would have much more confidence if it was Third Street equipment brewing Alpine beer.

 

Let's start a petition for alpine to distribute here if they brew at cold spring!

 

Never had Alpine and I already want to dip my balls in it.

 

I'm sure they will brew on Third Streets brewhouse if Alpine decides to pull the trigger on contract brewing in Mn. Third Street doesn't make "crappy" beer.

 

I bet you get kicked out of a lot of bars...
