Definitely worth the effort. I think the brewery is open for a couple of hours every Saturday for growler sales. At the brewery, they had a coffee beer that was the most incredible coffee beer I have had to date. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Wheats, Euro Amber Lagers, Spice/Herb/Veggie, and IPA's...

I've been judging at it for four years. and luckily for Stan, the forecast calls for temps 40º warmer than last weekend. Did you see Tom Coughlin's face during the Packers-Giants game? that's what we all looked like on Saturday up here... and Stan, do you like mead? in case you weren't aware, two of the past three AHA Meadmakers of the Year are from St. Paul. we know our way around the honey up here...

Minneapolis/St. Paul has more than just Summit. We've got great brewpubs in Town Hall, Barley Johns, and Great Waters. Flat Earth, who started last year, have a great porter. Surly have their special releases: their anniversary beer Two available as well as their excellent Mild. I hope you have fun in my fair city. Minneapolis/St. Paul has more than just Summit.
