June 1st
—————————————
Young Lambic
UNBLENDED TRADITIONAL LAMBIC // 5% ABV
Lindemans Brewery // Vlezenbeek, Belgium
A truly rare experience. Tart, funky, golden baby Lambic goodness.
><><><
Guava Gose
GERMAN-STYLE GOSE W/ GUAVA // 4.9 ABV
Collective Arts Brewing // Hamilton, Canada
As tropically refreshing as is legally allowed from Canada. Juicy, tangy, and just a touch of salt.
><><><
The Dissident
FLEMISH-STYLE SOUR BROWN ALE AGED IN OAK BARRELS W/ CHERRIES // 8.7% ABV
Deschutes Brewery // Bend, Oregon
One of the top shelf “oud bruin” (Flemish sour brown ale) beers made outside of Belgium. Caramel, balsamic, cherry, oak, Magic.
><><><
Keller Pils
UNFILTERED PILSNER // 5.5% ABV
August Schell Brewing Co. // New Ulm, Minnesota
It’s like a “hazy” pils. A little more body, richer hop profile, but still a Pils from Schell’s, so you know it’s top notch.
><><><
Belgian Blonde
BELGIAN-STYLE BLONDE ALE // 6% ABV
Angry Minnow Brewing Co // Hayward, Wisconsin
A glass full of sunshine. Floral, peppery yeast zest, delicate, and snappy dry. Making Hayward proud.
><><><
Neapolitan Milk Stout
MILK STOUT // 6% ABV
Saugatuck Brewing Co. // Saugatuck, Michigan
Sweet stout done like the most drinkable of chocolate cakes. You’d swear there are cherries in it.
><><><
The Waldo’s Special Ale
AMERICAN IMPERIAL IPA // 11.7% ABV
Lagunitas Brewing Co. // Petaluma, California/Chicago, Illinois
Resinous and sticky, just like The Waldo’s dreams. Need not be high to enjoy.
><><><
Heat Slayer
GERMAN-STYLE KÖLSCH // 5% ABV
Surly Brewing Co. // Minneapolis, Minnesota
I’m calling it the official beer of dudes in tanks, Summer 2019.
><><><
Breakfast Stout
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COFFEE STOUT // 8.3% ABV
Founders Brewing Co. // Grand Rapids, Michigan
The trailblazing coffee stout, a standard bearer. Also, one of the best beer labels of all time.
><><><
Can-o-Bliss
HAZY IPA // 7.2% ABV
Oskar Blues Brewery // Longmont, Colorado (amongst other places)
Just say the name sorta fast. Not so subtle Rocky Mountain High. Straight hop juice.
><><><
Pear Cider
PEAR AND APPLE CIDER // 5.3% ABV
Stem Ciders // Denver, Colorado
Elegant, yet down to earth. It’s like apple cider, but with pears in it…
><><><
Cherry Basil Kombucha
KOMBUCHA // .5% ABV
Deane’s Kombucha // Minneapolis, Minnesota
Probiotics do not get more refreshing than this. Aged in oak barrels, brilliantly layered flavors.
><><><
Cold Press Black Ale NITRO
BLACK ALE W/ COLD BREW COFFEE // 6% ABV
Bent Paddle Brewing Co. // Duluth, Minnesota
The beer that’s part Punk. Same crazy juice coffee we have on tap lives in this. Suck it Folgers.
><><><
Purple Butterfly Tea NITRO
HERBAL TEA: BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER, KING TUT LEMONADE // 0% ABV
Cup of Té // Toronto, Canada
Purple iced tea on nitro? Yea, sounds about right. Floral, fruity, with just a touch of tang. Pour directly into face.
><><><
Crazy Juice Cold Brew Coffee NITRO
COLD BREWED COFFEE // 0% ABV
Duluth Coffee Co. // Duluth, Minnesota
