Lots of buzz this evening on Brew52, Rett Martin‘s new project. “Sampling a different Minnesota brew each week for an entire year. Oh for fun!”
Yes, for fun. Week one is August Schell’s Snow Storm. Quite a yummy treat. This site could become a bad habit.
Sounds good…just when I’m trying to cut back on beer
That’s what I was thinking, Loops, but if you split it with someone, it’d be half a bottle or less per week. That’s not too bad. I decided I’ll just have to cut out the beer elsewhere and opt for wine or, hell, maybe not even drink! Concept!
I highly recommend the Lake Superior Kayak Kolsch.

Yeah, if I could buy bottles individually, I’d totally do it. Making my way through a six-pack, especially if I don’t like it: not so good.
Or I need to make more friends. Or live closer to the ones I do have, I suppose.
This is a good idea, and he started with a beer I have in my fridge. Good start!
I just tried the Schell’s Snow Storm over at…hmmm…Buster’s, I think. It was fantastic! I had low expectations because I’m not a fan of Schell’s other brews, but this was good. Really good!
On a side note, at Buster’s I also tried the Ommegang Double Chocolate Stout. Holy fantastic beer! Almost a dessert in a glass~ Clearly it’s not a MN brew, though so sorry for getting off subject~
I totally second the Kayak recommendation. I think that’s my favorite Minnesota beer.
Yeah the Kolsch is definately one of the better LS beers, and best Minnesota beers on a hot August day.
