    Are the below the 4 you speak of? Also, is 612 going to have food trucks, or actually have a kitchen? I never really fully grasped how that new law change works, and how a brewery differentiates from a brewpub.

    612
    Indeed
    Dang. Man Brewpub
    Northbound Brewpub

    612 is launching with a Rye IPA? Love it. This town desperately needs more rye!

    Northgate, one of the founders is a member of our homebrew club...so I do have a bit of extra info on them.

    And, Northgate will be a production brewery...no taproom planned yet.

    I had not heard of Northbound, but after looking I saw that Smokehouse changed their name to Northbound Smokehouse. They are in South Minneapolis, near the Hiawatha LRT (which is where "northbound" comes in I am guessing).

    I wonder how long 612 has had that statement ready, but waited until 6/12 to release it.

    With all of these places opening up, I am going to need a better growler storage solution.

    It's called drinking at the brewery. As you've said they're all in your neighborhood...

    Yeah, but with a two year old, there is only so much time out.

    yeah, or a change to the MN growler laws that would allow you to bring in any growler to any brewery. Kinda like Sconni, Michigan and IA :wink:

    Or better yet, like WA where you can fill naglene bottles and mason jars at bars, bottle shops, and breweries. Any container, any brand, anywhere.

    I would use my Nalgene Fitger's Growlers, and no other. I love those things.

    I'll never forget when I was sitting at the bar at Fish Tale Brewing in Olympia, WA, and a guy came in with a 64 oz jug of apple juice and had it filled straight from the tap...speechless.

    Yeah, thats prone to happen. I once felt compelled enough by a beer to go and buy a 2L soda water bottle, dump it in a parking lot and have the brewery fill it off the tap.

    Did you go across the street to The Eastside Club Tavern? Best damn beer bar I ever wandered into.
