Anything IPA from Blackstack is worth picking up in my opinion. Recent releases are Pull Tabs, Security Blanket, Microdosing.

 

yeah, hoping to hit Blackstack in person this time. last visit I ran out of time and didn't get there.

 

Barrel Theory has some solid hazies if you're into that.

 

If you like pastries, may I suggest Waconia Brewing Cookies 'n Cream Stout and Lunchbox Porter.

 

Anyone know the story on how Blue Max got Sweet Baby Jesus and whether anyone else has it? None of my usual SW Mpls spots does. Anyone see it anywhere else?

 

The king of twin cities beer hunting is back! I found more great beers 4 or 5 years ago thanks to @mingo than I ever could have found on my own. I’ve got nothing to add for beers to find...the game has changed a lot in the past few years as you probably know, and I’m mostly drinking German lagers lately. Enjoy your time back in the Twin Cities and thanks for contributing to this site for so long.

 

Also a great IP Trader.

 

Surly Overrated is back!

There's a new Coronado/Pizza Port IPA called "South of the Pier" that's hitting this week as well. As a certified Pizza Port West Coast IPA fan-boy, I'm excited about this one.

Looks like Voodoo is sticking a toe into MN with four packs of Big Black Voodoo Daddy. It's good.

My poor liver.

 

As in available at the stores?

 

Yes! The Eagan MGM posted they had it yesterday, so I'd assume it'll be flowing everywhere this week & next.

 

4PK Pounders of BA Narwhal starting to see the shelves this week, @< $20.

 

That's a hell of a price point

 

Grabbed some at F44 today. Definitely miss beer like this

 

Miss that one, glad its back on the rack. How is the 2020 tasting?

 

Anyone seen Indeed Whiskey Queen around? Heard they were bottling/canning this year!

 

Heritage tweeted that they received some earlier today. I haven't seen it in the north burbs yet.

 

Delicious, bitter west coast ipa, IMO.

 

I also believe they re-branded it as just "Queen".
