The Hopslam at Bell's before the game definitely tasted better than it did at a neighborhood bar after the game. It could have been the bitter taste of defeat, but I think freshness matters with Hopslam. As far as others to try, Alaskan Brewing Co. Hopothermia was pretty darn good, but I've not seen it around here lately. Is Alaskan distributed in ND? Hopothermia is awesome and yes it is distributed in ND. Swear I saw it other week and Harry's, but I know I've bought it in summer as well. Quote
northernraider Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Check out Bemidji Brewing if ever in the area. One of my favorite localocal brewers. They always have interesting flavors and not afraid to mix it up often. Just relocated into a new space, so hoping the start a bigger distribution soon. Quote

Air Force One Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Souris River Brewing in Minot had East Brown and Down, loved it! Went back after the ownership change not as good. Beaver Creek from Wibaux, MT has a tasty Pilsner. Went up to Hallock and tried all six of their brews, the dark is very good, the mild stout is great! 13th Ave Brewing has a really good German Pilsner. Quote
Fetch Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 I was somewhere that was out of bud light lime but they put a lime in a bud light & I was happy Quote

But I mostly jumped in for the discussion of Guinness at St. James Gate vs. U.S. They make it quite clear there should be absolutely no difference between a Guinness on draft there vs in U.S. It's all brewed there and should not change appreciably in a sealed keg over a few weeks. Unless you're in a hole in the U.S. with dirty lines and a two month old keg, it's the same. But no one likes to say that, because it makes their trip to Dublin less special The brewery is a destination unto itself, worthy of the pilgrimage, but the beer is the same. 1 Quote

siouxforcefans Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Friday night I had a few mugs of Boulder Brewing's Irish Blessings, an oak aged coffee stout, while watching the hockey game on TV. It tasted amazing - didn't take on the near the whiskey tinge of some other barrel aged beers, and had a nice blend of chocolate and coffee flavors. Only downfall, was that it was so good, that I had too many! 1 Quote
Cratter Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Seems like you can't open a new restaurant nowadays without 67 different craft beers on tap. Quote

UNDColorado Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I was at a beer festival Saturday that was comprised of only Colorado Breweries and left realizing how spoiled we beer drinkers are out here. Off hand there are a few that I love: Upslope, O'dells, Pug Ryan's, Broken Compass, Boulder Beer Company, and probably a couple more. Upslope Lager is tough to beat and I think they have a decent distribution network. I tried quite a few Kolsch style beers which is sort of like a lager but with more citrus notes. Great for summer. The only beer that I truly miss from up north is Premium Grainbelt as it is not distributed out here and to me is an amazing "crappy" beer. 1 Quote

My favorite is the Andechs Weissbier Quote
Fetch Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 Nothing wrong with Blue Moon I recently bought a six pack of aluminum pints & really enjoyed it I can no longer drink like I once could so I like to try good beer - JL Beers has a Blueberry flavored beer in bottles 9% alcohol that I like but I also always have Bud Light Lime Quote
