Can you imagine a world where you could buy a 4-pack from our taproom?
We don't want to daydream anymore, either. Link in bio for more info.

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Our beer garden is booked up for the day, but we’re stocked with plenty of crowlers.

Questions and Comments is the latest in our informal series of small-batch barrel aged stouts. This one is inspired by the cinnamon bun, and is infused with heavy amounts of vanilla and cinnamon. The cinnamon in Q&C really adds a bright spice character to the beer that helps to keep things popping. Add to that the exotic vanilla and hefty barrel-aged stout character, and this is a sipper I feel is well-suited to a week that looks wintry but is beginning to feel a little like spring around the edges.

We have a little north of 100 bottles. No limits. Link in bio to purchase. This one is taproom-only. There will be a very limited amount of this for draft pours as well.
Cinnamon roll recipe available by request.

New Beer Thursday!
This week, we have “Crazy Sniffable”, our first DDH DIPA with lactose. A double dry-hopped double IPA brewed with lactose and hopped with Sultana and Mosaic Cryo hops, plus a crazy expressive, very special yeast for the utmost in sniffability. Smells like crushed pineapple from the can, the OJ that comes from a big plastic jug, fruit cocktail, a hint of dankness.
Dogs love you, ‘cause you’re crazy sniffable. Or your beer glass is, anyway. 8.2%

Order online and pick up at our taproom, @pizza_luce or our St. Paul brewery. You can also order this for Rochester pick up, too! Use the links in bio for ordering.

Tropical temps call for tropical Fruity Boom Seltzer Smoothies.

We took our finest seltzer base and blended it with banana, orange, and pineapple purees. Does that combo ring a bell? Perhaps you can recall grabbing the half-gallon and pouring yourself a cup to pair with your after-school snack? This Fruity Boom pours, tastes, and smells like a smoothie.
Grab one for yourself or enjoy it in the beer garden.

A nod to Beastie Boys + Fair State Co-op’s first hazy DIPA w/ lactose 🤤 = Crazy Sniffable

Lactose, Sultana, Mosaic Cryo, and a very special, extra aromatic yeast make this beer smell like a freshly cracked can of crushed pineapple. 🍍

To maximize our bottle availability, Questions & Comments won't be on tap and we have exactly 248 bottles available.
Remember last year when we had Chonkfest and released Heckin Chonker (BA stout) and had cats in the taproom? Well, we took that beer and put it back in bourbon barrels for another year. We added vanilla and Saigon cinnamon to get the full Cinnabon experience.

•On sale now for members
•On sale for general public 2/25 at 10 am.
•Rochester folks can order bottles now for Saturday pick up. Use the link in bio for Rochester orders.

We just debuted our Fruity Boom Hard Seltzer Smoothies, an offshoot of the Fruity Boom Slushies we all enjoyed last summer. These will be focused on tropical fruit puree blends, and the first one is modeled after the king of juices that come in a half gallon jug, the classic Pine-Orange-Banana

This stuff is literally just our finest hard seltzer base with actual factual banana, orange, and pineapple purees added. Oh, and a hint of carbonation. It looks, smells, tastes, and pours like a smoothie. It is the peak of ridiculousness, a new staff fave, and we hope you enjoy it.
Get a crowler or enjoy it on tap.
