    I know man, I'm kinda sick of it. Does FFF have to peddle their Zombie Dust to EVERY SINGLE Twin Cities liquor store?

    Okay, Starfire is great, but I'll take Chester Creek over it any day. Superior Trail over El Niño as well. Now I'm just being an ass. Seriously though, I'll put in another vote for Sidekick, what a pleasant surprise that one was.

    my vote isn't for the best but Big Wood's Jackpine Savage is a tasty new addition.

    I was actually going to say this exact thing. Their Bad Axe is also a very welcome addition to Minnesota's IIPA lineup

    I'll Say All Day IPA and then Indeed Day Tripper.


    I alos say All Day drinks more like a pale than Day Tripper.


    All Day is 4.7% and 42 IBU

    Tripper is 5.4% and 45 IBU

    BJCP style guideline for APA: 4.5-6.0% and 30-45+ IBU
    BJCP style guideline for IPA: 5.5-7.5% and 40-70 IBU


    Not sure why the All Day is called an IPA.


    Also, I like Superior Trail over El Nino too.

    So Sue isn't available in MN? That makes me feel better. I do hope both MN and WI start to see it pop up now that TG is in the new brewery.
