    Ale Jail just posted that they are now here in MN. Thoughts? I've had a few of their beers and they were ok. Nothing special but not the worst ever.

    Try:
    Hoppy Feet 1.5
    Blaecorn Unidragon
    Vampire Slayer
    IMO they are the best they offer and Blaecorn is up there with Yeti IMHO.

    Had Hoppy Feet 1.5 the other night and BAM! Might be one of the best balck IPAs I've ever had - then again, it was the only imperial black IPA I've ever had so that might ahve had somethign to do with it.

    I enjoyed Vampire Slayer and Blaecorn Unidragon, thought the Clementine was decent for a less expensive easier drinking beer.

    Hoppy Feet 1.5, Blaecorn Unidragon, Brown Angel and Vampire Slayer are their better offerings.

    I have only had Chocolate Sombrero and Clementine and liked them both a good bit.

    They have a few good brews, considering how many styles they make. Blaecorn is top notch. People love Vampire Slayer, but I've yet to try that one. Hoppy Feet 1.5 was great, but is long gone. Most of their stuff is middle of the road, imho.

    Edit: forgot about Eagle Claw Fist. Not SUPER but good if you're feeling in the mood for a bg juicy red.

    Uncomfortable and not very comical.

    I've only had Lubrication and thought it was meh. I'll probably get around to some of their other offerings but I'm not running out the door.

    That's pretty clearly my least favorite of them. I like their stouts a lot for sure.

    double clementine rocks, and the eagle claw fist, fresh, compares favorably to NN, IMO.

    I agree with most of the posters. Their stouts are awesome, even Chocolate Sombrero (if you like chocolate chile stouts). Hoppy Feet 1.5 is great too, the regular version is a little too meh. I love Brown Angel and Clementine too. Pimp and Flight Of The Pimp are great big brown ales too.

    Gotta agree with some people in the thread that Bleacorn Unidragon is very good. Hope we see some.

    Really liked Eagle Claw Fist fresh, Blaecorn Unidragon was just pretty good, despite the excellent D&D theme.

    Only two I've had, but based on those two, I'm sure I'll pick up more here & there.

    Vampire Slayer, Chocolate Sombrero, Eagle Claw Fist, Hoppy Feet 1.5 and Hoppy Feet have been my favorite offerings so far. I would probably pass on another Lubrication, Supa Hero and Miracle (although it is for a good cause).

    Overall above average beers, so I keep picking up new things when they show up at the bottle shop.
