Oh, and it's on tap at Mac's Industrial, possibly still at Bryant Lake Bowl, and Butcher and Boar. And others, possibly, of course. I think I heard Bell's has a tap takeover at Bulldog Uptown tonight. Lots of stuff going on for Autumn Brew Review week.

Oh boy. I may need to make time to head to Mac's for a beer and some wings. :drool:

Hi SlapShot,

There's a good chance I'll be making a quick stop over in Minneapolis in a few weeks. I'm staying near Target Field. Know of a good spot to try some of the great Surly beers you guys are always raving about? Thanks!

Surly is on tap about anywhere in town, and if you're over by Target Field, there are lots of bars along Washington Ave. If you're in the north loop area, the Loop bar is a pretty OK spot. There's also a brewpub that I cannot recommend enough called Town Hall Brewery - it'd be a bit of a trip from near Target Field, but they have one of the best IPA's in town.

If you wanted to have a TTW meet-up, I would be more than happy to grab a beer with you somewhere in Mpls, and I bet Douggo would be game as well. Drop me a line through my profile if you know dates that you'll be here - I'm in class Tuesday nights, but apart from that I'm pretty available.

This would be a first. A TTW beer meet up.

Douggo · 09-14-2012, 07:15 AM

I'd be up for it, although evenings can be tough to get a hall pass. Lunches are easier for me, and I'm not opposed to sipping a couple.

Oh, and we should try to find a time where jhick can come up, if he's interested.

Thanks, Slap! I'll be in touch. A friend I haven't seen in years and I are trying to meet up for a baseball game one night. He'll be there on business and I'm trying to change my connecting flight to layover at MSP. It will likely be 9/27 or 9/28. It would be great to meet some TW beer fans.

You're on my radar too, Mikeler.

The next great family vacation will likely be a meet-up with my side of the family (all on the east coast) at Disney World next spring or late summer. After a few days, I'm sure I'll be dying to sneak out for 1. a good IPA 2. maybe a quick hit 3. both if I'm lucky.

It should be noted that you can get Surly (maybe three varieties, including an IPA not available anywhere else) at Target Field. But there's only one Surly stand, so you'll have to seek it out.

Also, Target Field is the only place you can get Surly Bandwagon IPA.

The Twins are winding down their season, but going to a ballgame might be a possibility to get me up to go up to the cities. Or perhaps a T-Wolves game.

The Fulton Brewery tap room is also within walking distance of Target Field. I would consider checking it out. Their beers are decent.

I'll be waiting...

I had this beer at a party last weekend. Awful!!! Luckily my wife liked it.

I pretty much hate all high alcohol content beers (Doppelbock's and the like). They just don't taste right to me.

Blasphemy!!! Not a fan of high hop beers, eh? I actually had 90 minute on tap with dinner last Friday and it was fantastic. I don't find it on tap in Cali very often, so I tend to get it when available. 10 or 11% in a beer is pretty much my limit and I usually only like barley wines at this level. I think 7-9% is the sweet spot for me in a nice double/imperial IPA.

r2473 · 09-21-2012, 08:41 AM

High hop beer is fine.

I don't like any high alcohol beer. Hate Chimnay for example. The local Uinta brewery has a barley wine and other high alcohol beers that are just god awful to me.

But like I said, my wife loves them.

Must despise Four Loco, eh?

In Maine now, may have to toe the line and try a local IPA.

Where in Maine? If you're in/near Portland, go over the NH border into Portsmouth. Their namesake brewery has great choices on tap.

I've discovered brewpubs and I've discovered growlers.
