Twin Cities Bottle Hunt - 2017

The tweet and website just says crowlers only. Since there was no mention of distribution, I would guess it is taproom only.

 

Indeed Fresh Hop at Stinson, $10.99.

Definitely prefer it to Wet, much more balanced, a healthy amount of bitterness.

 

This release is just taproom only. I think we dropped the ball a bit on getting the word out about this release to be honest. But there should be a lot more special crowler releases coming in the near future. We're excited to get our beers in the hands of you good people!

Of all the Mexican cake style imperial stouts out there, Hades (Cinnamon) Styx is probably closest flavor wise to Perrenial's Abraxas. More so than Huna, or Mexican Cake from Westbrook, or the Mexican cake thing Epic did with Big Bad Baptist last year.

It's 11.5% ABV and It's $9 for a 750ML crowler. If that sounds like your bag, stop in a pick one (or a couple) up!

 

Damn. That's quite the deal.

 

Not that another opinion is needed, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the MN fresh hop beers I’ve had so far (Bang, Indeed, Surly). Bang THIS has really cool stone fruit notes, Indeed’s is nice and resiny, and Surly’s is fresh, floral, rounded, and easy drinking.

 

Thanks picked up a 4pk of Crop Circus,Very tasty 2IPA. Sure does taste like its full of Citra. Do you know what hop was used in this?

 

It sounds like the hops were brought by ale-iens (very inventive product release video here):

 

Thanks & LOL, The hops in this brew are so Citra forward to me . What ever the hop is it's damn good.

 

Garyl's increasingly messy hair and orange makeup as the video progresses is a nice touch

 

Ok, well today I picked up Surly Wet and it’s good, but it feels heavy and a little too full... I also grabbed some Bauhaus Crop Circus and damn, this stuff is bright and juicy very dank! Well done Bauhaus!

Also grabbed a bottle of Furious Black and TG maroon

 

Yet to try those

 

Gonna go against the grain here and say I thoroughly enjoy Wet. Can I see why others prefer a different profile? Yes, but I find it quite good. Malty yet resiny and very drinkable.

Best of class? I believe so, but not what most expect nowadays, if that makes any sense. If it was 4 years ago, I feel it would be a different discussion.

 

Has anyone seen a fair price on the Boulevard Whiskey Barrel Stout in the north suburbs? I passed at $15 today in Blaine since I heard it was $9-10 most places.

 

Long shot, probably, but does anyone know if there are any Bent Paddle BADSDB bottles turding it up anywhere around town? Chicago Lake had them forever but apparently they're now out.

 

I haven't been looking hard, but I've seen it for $15 as well in the south metro. Not unexpected for a big barrel aged stout, unfortunately.

 

I saw this question asked earlier. Any word yet on CD Mosaic?

Thanks for the suggestions on Crop Circus and Indeed. I made the mistake of buying a 4 pack of Wet. Man, that beer is a hot mess, an experiment gone wrong for $4/can. Ouch.

 

A good selection of Disgruntled beers in crowler cans showed up at France 44 on Thursday.

 

$9.99 at good ole TW...

 

Sounds like a mis-price! Stopped at the Eagan TW on Friday & they didn't have it, so went elsewhere.

 

Don’t think so...saw it at Roseville and it’s on their website as well.
