Favorite Minnesota-only Brews

Steel Toe brews.

 

Beers from Olvalde.

 

Bent Paddle - many offerings - Harness IPA (if wintertime), Cold press
Insight - I wouldn't typically list them out of the pack, but since you like the one, I like the citrus pale ale (forget the name)

 

Castle Danger- Double Crossing

 

Castle Danger Double Crossing. I liked it a lot more than Hop Forest.

 

Agree with you on day tripper, in my top 3. Right down the street from Indeed is Dangerous Man, they have some good stuff too. I have a growler of chocolate milk stout in the fridge now and also picked up a crowler of hop hash, which I haven't had yet.

 

I'm not always the biggest fan of Fulton, but have been drinking 300 like it's going out of style. Regardless of it's 88 rating on here, I think it's awesome.

 

I have to assume that the ratings went down because the last batch was awful. When they first brewed it, it was like this current batch. The last one we drain-poured after taking a drink of one.

 

Huh, which batch was that? Not doubting you, but I've only had good ones.

 

I picked up some 300 this weekend when I was up. Very impressed with that stuff! I hope we can get some in Iowa sooner than later.
My fave MN only beer is Dangerous Mans PBPorter. It's only available in crowlers at the shop, so maybe that doesn't fit the requirement above, but I think it's the best MN beer I can't already get in Iowa.

 

I've been drinking a lot of Bauhaus Copperpop recently. I find it delicious.
Also, bent paddle is not a MN only brew anymore

 

Badger Hill Traitor IPA, and I recently had their Hoppy Pale Ale on tap that was very tasty!

 

I'm with you on the Badger Hill Hoppy Ale - I love the stuff and it's coming out in cans soon!

 

Neither are Fulton or Indeed.

 

My grocery store, here in Northwest Wisconsin, just received its first drop of Bent Paddle. Made my day.

 

This wholeheartedly.

 

Challenging my memory here. I think it was toward the tail end of the last time they brewed Batch 300 (I think it still had "Batch" on the label) and before they announced it as a year round beer. It is possible it was older at that time.

 

Fair State-look for raspberry roselle and dorado gold, gotta look, but they can be found.
Insight-Phantom Taxi just came out DIPA, it's fire
You gotta stop in Town Hall and Dangerous Man too and grab growlers/crowlers, they are both magicians
