Same.

Barrio is now doing $4 breakfast (giant pancake, bacon, eggs and fruit), $4 cocktails and $4 pints from 7 to noon on Saturdays and Sundays.

This place is making me an alcoholic.

Finally went to a local brewery that opened a couple of months ago. Not great. Had a flight of all their stuff. Everything was overly "malty" and sweet.

It was made kinda worse by the fact that they clearly wanted to establish themselves as the "conservative" brewery. NRA shit (like literally NRA promotional posters) on the walls. One of their beers was like Bearing Arms Porter or something stupid and all their shirts had flags on both arms. Predictably, they also had FOX News on most of their TVs. Our waitress had an AR15 tattooed on her forearm.

:throwup:

Luckily they had Modern Times Fruitlands, which has become one of my favorite sours.

So PHAT, I'm probably going to the All Pints North beer festival in Duluth this year. Here's the brewery line up, which do you recommend?

Holy shit balls, doone. That’s a hell of a lineup. I need to check my calendar and see if I can go to that.

As far as the list goes, I’ve sampled beers from a large portion of those breweries, so I can’t comment on all of them. I will say that these are some of the absolute best from that group. Let me know if you have questions about a specific brewery and I’ll answer that directly.

Barrel Theory - this one is my absolute favorite right now
Bent Paddle
Castle Danger
Dangerous Man
Fair State
Fulton
Indeed
Junkyard
Lift Bridge
Lupulin

You should come if you can. We went 2 years ago. It's all-you-can-sample for the price of admission. It's nice to have a shortlist to focus on when you first go in because the choice is overwhelming. After awhile you become too drunk to care :lol:

Sounds awesome. I’m totally going to look into it. I hope you try some of the ones I mentioned. You won’t be sorry.

I'm a big fan of 21st Amendment's Blood Orange IPA.

Also, 10 Barrel's opening a PHX location next year.

Just dropped $100 at Tree House for 25 beers. Kinda ridiculous, but every single beer I've tried from them has been at least really good.
Ended up with Julius, Sap, Super Sap, Doppelganger, Lights Out, and Tornado.
