Another Autumn Beer Review has come and gone here in Minneapolis. Myself, perry, Ketchtwenty2, siriusstoogie and simmsboard attended this year's Review, with a sh.tload of others. Here were some highlights:
Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Mango Coconut IPA (this was my winner of the day, I don't know how they pulled this off, but it was fng awesome). Also, MTH is the only brewery I know that can properly do coconut.
Surly Brown Eye (fng delicious sipper). I don't know what the hell kind of beer this was, an Imperial Brown maybe? It was thick, a little sweet, very complex.
Surly Moe's Bender. Oak-aged Bender with chocolate and coffee. Again, fng delicious.
Rock Bottom Brewery Coconut Chai Stout. This was pretty good, although I don't know where the coconut was.
Rush River Double Bubble DIPA, very good.
Only one real disappointment, which was Surly's Wet. Wet is one of my favorite beers. Someone told me they had oak-aged this beer, or I don't know. All I know is that it was completely flat and barely drinkable.
