MN Brewers Bringing it Strong to Duluth Beer Fest

Posted on by

The MN Craft Brewers Guild is heading out of the Twin Cities for the first time this weekend with the All Pints North Summer Beer Fest in Duluth.  If these exclusive and first-peek brews don’t make you want to sell the kids and pack up the house for a trip up north then I don’t know what will.

Fest Only Beers

Schell’s Fass Firebrick infused with red oak
Surly Fiery Hell aged on Hickory and Puya Chilies ON CASK!
Surly SYX (First Pour!!!)
Dubrue Strong Belgian Ale (First Pour) and Berliner Weiss
Badger Hill American Rye (First Pour)
Barley John’s Brew Pub – Cask Stockyard IPA with Sriracha(holy hot-sauce!)

But wait, there’s more!

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I love pilsner. There will be pilsners a plenty from Harriet, Lift Bridge, and Vine Park.

You wanna go, don’t you. There are still tickets left.

Glad I’m going to be there. I’m thinking my booth might be empty a good deal of the time…

  1. It seems like many American breweries are calling their light lagers Pilsner but most are wildly different from their Bavarian brethren. Is that just me? What are your thoughts on this? Don’t get me wrong, Harriet’s pils is a tasty brew, but it’s not a pilsner.

  2. If I remember correctly, Jason considers it a pre-prohibition style American pilsner. Could be wrong though. Whatever it is, I think it’s tasty.

  3. Will there be a write up coming of your favorites/most interesting from All Pints North? Also, how was the festival? Well run? Needs improvement?
