You Will Drink Good BEER ... And It Will Be Delicious!

Cider place was closed for a party last night (and they didn't bother to update their FB page or website), so we went to AZ Wilderness again because they tapped 3 new sours last week. Pine Mountain Sour (below) was spectacular. It has a super bright spruce tip finish that's just incredible.

Selection of beers I had last night at one of my favorite breweries.

I really just can't get enough Berliner Weisse inside my body.

Sitting at restaurant, waiting for hubby to get off work. I'm having a couple of different IPA's by Collective Arts Brewing. First was a DIPA, called IPA No. 5. Next I'm going with their hazy IPA called Life in the Clouds.

Hazy AF, so hot right now.

It's cooled down up here but the hazy was still good.

Here too, sours are going bananas right now, and fruited haze bombs. God, I love beer so much.

Normally not a huge fan of Belgian Tripels, but this didn't have the overly sweet finish most of them have. Really refreshing despite being almost 12%.

Beautiful pics as always, r2d. I’m not typically a fan of Belgians either, but you make it look good.

So PHAT, I'm probably going to the All Pints North beer festival in Duluth this year. Here's the brewery line up, which do you recommend?

Holy shit balls, doone. That’s a hell of a lineup. I need to check my calendar and see if I can go to that.

As far as the list goes, I’ve sampled beers from a large portion of those breweries, so I can’t comment on all of them. I will say that these are some of the absolute best from that group. Let me know if you have questions about a specific brewery and I’ll answer that directly.

Barrel Theory - this one is my absolute favorite right now
Bent Paddle
Castle Danger
Dangerous Man
Fair State
Fulton
Indeed
Junkyard
Lift Bridge
Lupulin
Modist
Surly

I think the lineup got bigger https://www.mncraftbrew.org/event/all-pints-north/

Bell's is on there now so I hope i get to try two hearted ale. Any others I should look for?

My draft beer just came in a plastic cup with a hole in the bottom covered by a magnet. What sorcery is this?

[doone]

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yup that's it

[doone]

I haven't seen it in real life

[E.H. Ruddock]

The bartender told me they aren't allowed to reuse the magnets. Doesn't seem cost effective, but they said they get more beer and way less head out of a keg.

[doone]

Really? You'd think they could run them thru a dishwasher.
