Looking for some opinions on best of's that aren't terribly difficult to get a hold of in MN... APA: ? IPA: indeed slow ride DIPA: abrasive Stout: Central waters bourbon barrel Wild ale: ? Fruit/Sour: Raspberry Tart/Serendipity Thoughts? Feel free to add styles too Thanks CP
Hudson is a 10 min drive from me so I put it down, but I'd love to hear your opinions if you have a better one
APA: Day Tripper IPA: Hop Dish/Northbound Big Jim Tied DIPA: Fulton Insurrection??? (See the abrasive thread) Stout: Darkness Rye Ale: 612 Rated R
OP said "aren't terribly difficult to get a hold of in MN", but I'm going to answer for "aren't terribly difficult to get a hold of & brewed in MN" (because that's where my focus is these days)... BTW, I don't consider special releases where you have to stand in line at a release party to fit the "aren't terribly difficult to get a hold of" part. ESB: Bent Paddle 14ยบ ESB / Badger Hill MSB APA: Indeed Day Tripper / Lift Bridge Crosscut English Pale Ale: Summit EPA Coffee Stout: Bent Paddle Cold Press Black Ale Porter/Stout (non-BA): Summit Great Northern Porter / Badger Hill Foundation Stout / Lake Superior Sir Duluth IPA/DIPA... not my favorite styles, so pass.
IPA Let It Ride IIPA Abrasive (yeah yeah yeah, it's still the best, it'll still be the best next year, and the year after that, etc.) APA The Ringer Porter Cygnus X1 Stout Summit Oatmeal Strong Stout War and Peace Belgian Style Divine Oculust Sour Black Forest Cherry Pilsner Schells ESB Bent Paddle 14 Barleywine Commander - this is the only 'easy' to get MN barleywine I can think of (Twisted Trace, maybe) Fresh Hop 100 Yard Dash Red Ale Windvane Black Ale Bent Paddle Cold Press Brown Ale Cacao Bender Winter Ale Stir Crazy Marzen Schells
