Message JK beers 7296 º places 442 º 08:45 Tue 10/2/2012 fulton is not a big deal.
Message Bacterial beers 3140 º places 134 º 12:44 Tue 10/2/2012 Barley John’s and Liftbridge (if you want to venture out of the metro area) would be good additions. Indeed’s taproom is quite nice.
Message tennisjoel P beers 2230 º places 53 º 12:49 Tue 10/2/2012 Originally posted by JK fulton is not a big deal. I enjoyed the Fulton taproom when I was there. I think their beer is nothing mind blowing, but decent. Location is nice walking distance if you are attending a Twins game at Target Field, but their season will over by the time you’re here.

Message pantanap beers 3367 º places 1 º 13:24 Tue 10/2/2012 indeed sounds like it’s a worthy stop...any opinion on harriet’s?
Message jmikolich P beers 1486 º places 112 º 13:24 Tue 10/2/2012 as an out of towner, I thoroughly enjoyed Barley Johns, at least on a weeknight it was super awesome to sit near the bar (No TV’s there) and just drink and enjoy the beer and people watch, plus it was Cheap as all get out.

Cheap? $90 and $70 growlers of Rosies and Dark Knight are hardly cheap.

Message pantanap beers 3367 º places 1 º 17:11 Tue 10/2/2012 so we goofed and didn’t look into signing up for a Surly tour before they were all booked...that being said, what place would have the most surly on tap? mainly just wanting to try Wet at this point but really not trying to get too picky.
