So I finally learned how to blog on my own. No one holding my hand, no one reading over  my shoulder and no one having to approve what I read.  We will see how I do without approval.

Any who, with summer coming to an end I figured I should look back at what a great summer it was, beer wise.  We added yet another stellar brewery to our arsenal. Tall Grass out of Kansas peeked in and we are thankful for it. You can never go wrong with craft beer in 16 ounce cans!!!!

Not only did we get new breweries but we started seeing line extensions from breweries we already had. Odell and Deschutes both started coming hard with little treats. Odell let us have the Woodcut series while Deschutes started coming in six packs. Which allowed us to enjoy their IPA and summer seasonal. More from each brewery still to come!!!!

Possibly the best part of the summer was once again the prospect of new breweries coming. I just had a visit with the people from Brooklyn Brewery 2 weeks ago. They were just doing a little recon, but all signs point to a possible Brooklyn drop in Spring of 2011. Another brewery that has been doing recon in MN is Alaskan. Those familiar with their Smoke Porter are most certainly excited to hear this. They seem to be a bit more elusive however, no time table has been set.

So with summer gone, it is easy to say we got a lot to look forward to. So keep an eye out and get ready for fall and winter.
