On tap in the Twin Cities - August Edition

I am going to be in St. Paul this evening grabbing some beers. I am rarely over there these days. Anyone know of anything good on right now?

 

Backwoods Bastard, Bigfoot, Celastrina, Deconstruction, Amuste, Meddler, and Lugene on tap @ Haute Dish.

 

Strawberry Saison just tapped at Town Hall. Pretty tart, but pretty damn delicious too.

 

Full Grumpy's lineup tomorrow:

Fusion 15
Fusion 16
Lucky 13
Maximus
IPA
Pils
Meat from Sulami flown in from Seattle

Minnesota release of Founders Mango Magnifico next Monday there also.

 

Fulton War & Peace on at Bryant Lake Bowl. I know that I am late to the game on this, but this is a great coffee forward stout and rarely would I get back 2 backs on a beer like this.

 

Something that I didn't get at BLB that may be of interest to others is Tallgrass wild plum saison.

 

I know Three Tiers Bakery in S.MPLS is getting ready to tap the Tallgrass Wild Plum. If you have not had it yet...you need to. Such a nice beer. Also, if you have never been to Three Tiers you should check them out as well!

 

Growlers?

 

Had some deliciousness at the Happy Gnome last night. Though it seems their prices have gone up since I was last there (admittedly a long time ago), while nearly all of their pours are 10oz now. Regardless, had a Sofie Paradisi and a Hoptimum (had not had it on tap yet), as well as a couple tastes of some coffee porters (one from Grand Teton and the Flying Dog Gonzo porter).

Some very friendly fellows sitting next to us at the bar ordered a bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops (did not know they had it!) and shared a taste. Mmmm! Hope they are on BA because they were really great Beer Advocates.

 

Town Hall White IPA is on tap at Town Hall Tap. I seem to remember folks looking for it in the last thread.

 

Sadly, no.

 

Urine Trouble and Deminished SeVIIn tapping tonight at Triple Rock for the Vulgaari concert

 

Will not be there for this, but 3 Squares is tapping Black Butte XXV and Fresh Squeezed this Wednesday. They currently have Maximus, Lake Erie Monster, Rye Hatter, and Oak Aged Un-Earthly on tap. And, my god, is Un-Earthly awesome!

 

Chocolate Yeti and the Great Lakes/Deschutes collaboration smoked imperial porter are on tap at Town Hall Lanes.

 

On Aug 11 @ 4 pm Butcher and the Boar will have a Goose Island tap takeover for their monthly beer bash. They'll have Big John, Sofie Paradisi, Illinois, Night Stalker, and Pere Jacques amongst others.

 

Has anybody seen Oatmeal Yeti on tap yet in MN (especially around the MLPS area)? It has been out for a couple of months now and I have seen bottles, but I have not seen it on tap. Also, when looking at the couple of pages of reviews, there are on-yap reviews all over the country, except that there are no reviews from MN.

EDIT: I guess that I could also ask about w00tstout at the same time. Curious about any tap sightings.

 

Just released in bottle shops last week. No tap sightings yet. Same for woot Stout. Will post here when I see a launch.

 

Thanks for sharing this, I stopped over today for a bottle of Black Ops. It was only $20 with tax!!!! Considering it is the Gnome and that Black Ops retails for that amount, I thought it was a steal.
