    Turns out I'll be in Minneapolis this weekend.

    What should I look for bottled beer wise that's great and fairly local. I'm a Seattlite.

    Does Minneapolis get Bell's or Founders?

    Thanks guys and gals!

    Yes to Bell's and Founders. Should be pretty easy to find 'em.

    There's a lot shakin' in these parts, and the 'Northeast Brewery District' is a solid bet for a one day visit.
    No retail sales on Sunday (yet), so buy those growlers/Crowlers and packages on Saturday, and yer good to go.

    Look for Surly Pentegram and Schell's Cypress Blanc. Both are sour beers

    Go to Steel Toe and pick up a bottle of Lunker, just released today.

    I would also check out Steel Toe Size 7, Bent Paddle beers (cold press and harness the winter), Indeed Day Tripper, Let it Ride and Might night Ryder, Lift Bridge Hop Dish, Schells Noble Star series (a buddy from Seatlle said this stuff right up there with Dr Garde).

    If you do breweries, North East like Chaz said. Indeed, Dangerous Man (beer is in taproom only), Bauhaus. Really liking what Sisyphus (beer is in taproom only) is doing, not far from NE. There is always Surly too. Town Hall is a place I would highly recommend.

    That is just a start, I am sure others will have great suggestions as well.
