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

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!

@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?

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.

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.

@getthemirror We were supposed to have several months free at purchase. It looks like not only did we not get a free month, we were double charged in March. Could someone please investigate this with me so I don’t need to initiate a charge back with my credit card?

.@BlackStackBrew Dear Mama 2020, a collaboration with Witch Hunt, a society focused on under-represented groups to help get into brewing through education. 7.1% ABV NEIPA made with @BriessMalt & @CountryMalt; Citra, Triumph, Azacca, Sabro from @YakimaChief. Delicious! #MNbeer

I'm curious the story behind the canning operation in Waunakee, WI. Suddenly cranking out high-caliber IPAs, lacto sours — for quite a few places: @HumbleForager, @collectivearts, Untitled Art. Is this the new go-to hotness contract brewing site?

Juice Is An All Day Beverage, a #CollabFromHome @FairStateCoop @ModistBrewing @BlackShirtBrew @ForagerBrewery, 8.4% DDH DIPA with grapefruit, lime & vanilla. I had high hopes but I'm having a hard time. I'll give it another shot but I'm bummed I didn't get more Strata or YCH 🤷‍♂️

The @FairStateCoop YCH Biotransformation IPA, a collaboration with @YakimaChief @YakimaHops, is really awesome. It reminds me of the first IPA I got from @OliphantBrewing: Merkur. IIRC it was a SMaSH. Which #MNbeer are you #drinklocal lately? #drinklikeyouowntheplace

@Betterment password reset not working? It’s been almost an hour and no email.

@HelloFresh I know you folks are seeing extreme demand right now, but when perishable meals arrive 2 days late and are missing a full meal upgrade in the box, I have to cancel and ask for a refund for that meal — not a credit for a future purchase. My box last week was lost.

.@brewingprojekt Intensive Purposes — a double IPA, dry-hopped with Motueka & El Dorado. Very juicy, aromatic. Almost a watermelon/ripe cantaloupe flavor. Really good stuff — despite the zinger of a 4pk price tag @ $19.99. What’s in your glass this Saturday night? #WIbeer

.@brewingprojekt dropping some hilarious grammar guffaws — with new dry hopped double IPAs.

@UPS I’ve got a M.I.A. delivery from @HelloFresh. It was due Thursday, but was updated for Friday AM. It’s been on the truck and out for delivery since 8AM Friday. Please help. My food is not fresh anymore and I’m sad to see it all get tossed if it eventually arrives at all.

Having an @OliphantBrewing Enya Gardener’s Gardener, a collab with @casanovaliquor. 5% ABV kettle sour with raspberries, blackberries, coconut — aged in bourbon barrels. It’s eerily like Super Squishy. I’m struggling with coconut in beer. Anyone else?

Grabbing a beer in SF. First stop: @citybeerstore. Where else?

I think I’ll have a @hairofthedog for a birthday beer. Which one? Decisions decisions!

It’s the 1st #IPAmonday of 2020. I’m having a @BlackStackBrew @ModistBrewing collaboration: Certified Pre-Owned, an 8% ABV double dry-hopped oat milk double IPA, made with ~200gal of oat milk, dry-hopped with Azacca, Strata, Sabro Cryo, & Australian Galaxy. What’s in your glass?
