We first brewed this beer way back in 2018, and it was a throwback even at that point. Delightfully malty while retaining session beer status from the moderate ABV and judicious use of English hop varieties, Medieval England Reference is the sort of beer one can truly make a session out of.

Fans of a now-defunct local brewery that specialized in the ales of the UK may remember this ESB fondly, because we totally just asked Adam for the recipe and he gave it to us. A piece of Northeast MPLS brewing history right here.

Available on nitro at the taproom for #NewBeerThursday! → link in bio

Side Pull may be gone, but you can still enjoy a crisp lager from our side pull tap—one that’s made with Saint Paul’s finest city water. That’s right: Pils is now on the side pull. 🤗

Side pull? What? Why? From Zach, our Innovation Brewer: Not only is this a traditional method for serving light European lagers, which is already cool enough, but it also creates a different drinking experience. These screened faucets essentially pour foam first and beer second—the result is a much thicker, creamier head of foam. Foam helps create aroma by volatilizing the flavor compounds in beer, and since much of our sense of taste is based on aroma, it also creates a fuller flavor. If you’re well-acquainted with Pils, come try it on our side pull tap and experience the difference for yourself.

Greetings from Minneapolis! 👋🌆

We're releasing Greetings from Minneapolis, an export IPA, for #NewBeerThursday. For those unfamiliar, an export IPA is a hoppy beer designed to maintain freshness better than traditional IPAs, making it better suited for transport and storage. If you've never heard of this style before, that's because we just made it up.

This beer is a medium-bodied IPA with notes of lime, mango, peach, and blueberry. It's a bit like a radler made with Party Forward and Hawaiian Punch. In a good way. Stop in this weekend to try it, and take some crowlers home to try later so you can experience the magic of an export IPA. —Zach, Innovation Brewer
