Headed to the beer store myself to see what I can find in the way Of decent Canadian craft beer. Don't expect too much as the Canadian craft industry is very much in its infancy.

Boy am I ready for the Shack Beer Tasting. I ALWAYS miss the Shack Saturday owing to other business,
and while I WILL be missing Thursday, gaining Saturday is huge for me. I realize that we are talking about
Friday evening, but Saturday has been a mystery for me, keeping me out of the cornhole tourney every year.
No flank steak in all my 5 shacks....I have about a 6 pack of things I can bring. I have NO true prizes, but
maybe a few palate cleansers and a good stout or two. And of course, a couple boxes of pint glasses, haha.

Brad your coming to shack now? SWEET!

I just attended the 2nd annual Twin Cities beer fest this past Saturday. I didn't find anything very exciting. Dave said to look for Surly so I'll look for that tomorrow. I've been to three breweries here so far. Some decent oatmeal stouts that unfortunately can't be put in growlers.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout.

Sounds good to me :-)

I am sure mine isnt special enough to make it to the main tasting, but It will be available.
[Reply]

Never had an Expedition Stout, I'm down for a taste, Devan. :-)

+1
[Reply]

+2.

You have to remember that when it really gets rolling, this tasting, if years past are any indication, is a steamroller
of heavy, crafty, hard to find beers. To clear the palate with ANYTHING that is different from the prevailing trend
is pretty damn refreshing. I like motor oil almost as much as the next guy, but I would appreciate ALL entries that
keep me going longer and to me that is something light and refreshing and quality. LORD my beer nipples are getting
hard. And naturally, I am interested to see if you can participate in all these events and still be standing later. :-)
