Hello Mid Westerners, I am visiting family from Maine. I am going to be in Minn/St. Paul after the 15th of Nov. I used to live all around the Midwest including MSP about 3 years ago so i'm seeking advice on what I should be seeking out. If abrasive hit shelves I would be very happy but is there anything else I should be looking for? Thanks for your time and cheers! -Daniel
Abrasive hits next week so you should be fine there. Grab some cans of indeed day tripper, large format Fulton bottles, steel toe.
Schell's Star of the North still can be found in many stores. The raspberry infused version will be out soon as well. Abrasive should be around. Anything from Indeed. Bad Weather Firefly Anything from Olvalde Anything from Steel Toe Go to Minneapolis Town Hall and any other brewpub or taproom you can. A lot of good beer being made in the metro.
Surly- Furious, Abrasive, Darkness (good luck) Indeed- Most offerings Fulton- Libertine Ovalde- All offerings Steel Toe- Size 7, Most others Lucette- Ride Again Town Hall- anything available in growler worth it
Are you planning on bringing anything to the cities from Maine. I'm guessing no one would object to some deliciousness and your options would greatly expand if you did.
If you're willing to take a little jaunt to the east (about a half hour east of Hudson, WI) the BrewFarm is open the 16-17th from 3-7 each day. I've got eight unique drafts and typically about 6-8 different beers in 1-liter swing-tops for take-away. Cheers, Farmer D Dave's BrewFarm - A Farmhouse Brewery Wilson, WI
Is Firefly draft only? I had it at a pre-ABR event and was blown away by this beer. Where are we seeing it?
Thanks for the replies. I'll have to check with the misses on whether I will have time to do any trading.
