Our current beer list. Please retweet and share with your homies, especially if they aren’t keen on social media. #taplist #mncraftbeer

[Shawn from BGP @ShawnBGP]

Dusting off the very dormant account to send a signal flare to the #TwinCities beer scene: @barleyjohnspub is closing for good on August 6. I’m here for dinner and beers. Please make sure you visit and take crowlers/growlers with you. They have a dog-friendly patio & whiskies too

House yeast. It definitely flocculates. I'm always amazed at how this looks.

[Chris Drosner @WIbeerbaron]

Ah yes, all the WI breweries you expected to medal this year

[Shawn from BGP @ShawnBGP]

A day trip to Duluth is not complete without a stop for beers at @hoopsbrewing. They have a champagne IPA (brut IPA)! A style that went away too quickly. #MNBeer

Sometimes, dipping into the cellar for no particular reason is nice. @hairofthedog Fred line-up I picked up in September in Portland. I'll have the Fred from the Wood (2013). 10% ABV. Aged in new medium roast American oak barrels for at least 6 months. Delicious!

Dudes are embarrassed to wear a mask but will straight up drink 2%abv unfermented fruit purée

@WoOdMcFlLy We paid AAA movers to pack AND move our stuff. Worth it.

@mjwessty @Rivian Ford probably could’ve had an e-Bronco — but they and Lincoln got cold feet with Rivian and it looks like they’re going the hybrid F150 route. Silly if you ask me. I wish Ford well but hybrid isn’t innovation.

[Shawn from BGP @ShawnBGP]

@mjwessty Ahem. @Rivian is here. R1S and R1T.

@careofvitamins you charged me for vitamins you aren’t shipping until next month. If you can’t charge right before they ship, can you cancel my plan and refund me before they process?

[David A. Anderson @DavesBrewFarm]

It’s time.
I’m formally announcing the “For Sale” of the BrewFarm. While it had been for sale in the past, and life changes had me maintaining all things BrewFarm for the past two+ years, the sale is now my primary focus.
Opportunity, as they say, is knocking.

[Shawn from BGP @ShawnBGP]

@ecaron @enkibrewing I might store that in the truck. If it’s within reach of the driver’s seat it’s something you could get a ticket for open container. Truck or don’t do it.

[Shawn from BGP @ShawnBGP]

Shout out to @InsightBrewing for a stellar 12-pk of 12oz cans. $15/12pk of 4 IPAs: the Flash Back. Phantom Taxi, Terror Bear, Claw King, & Mega Dankbot.

What're you having on this swampy #IPAMonday? I'm having a Phantom Taxi right now.

[Steve Snyder @SSnyder414]

Let’s go ahead and start getting rid of these awful, racist breweries. There’s enough good ones to go around already

[Fair State Brewing @FairStateBeer]

After months of sheltering-in-place, we’re welcoming guests back into our space and wow, did we miss you! Thank you for supporting us by buying beer, joining the co-op, and investing through our member preferred share offering.

[Chris Drosner @WIbeerbaron]

New Glarus release news: Strawberry Rhubarb in July (as you should have already known), and Staghorn and Cran-bic return in August.

[Fair State Brewing @FairStateBeer]

We have not done enough to promote equity or live up to our values and we must take concrete steps to improve. Attached is a letter from our CEO and co-founder, Evan Sallee describing the initial steps we are taking towards racial justice within our co-op.

The local bottle shop is consistently impressive. They've got sliding door glass coolers for all the unpasteurized local 16oz cans & they have a bunch of crowlers. I haven't seen Uncommon Loon (Chisago City) yet, so I grabbed several. This is their Speckled Loon cream ale.
