Ever try anything by http://www.eagleparkbrewing.com/ ?
I haven't… yet. I found out about them recently. They've only been in business for a couple of years, operate primarily by word of mouth, and have no distribution. I'm planning to drop by their taproom, soon. I may go during my upcoming leg of the OD type III world tour. I really want to try the Live And Let Chai Porter.

I wonder how difficult it would be for them to get distro? The Brewing Project stuff can be easily found in the Twin Cities so Eagle Park should theoretically be able to. Or, they could invest in their own fleet of pimped out vans and deliver themselves, like Drekker.
There’s a brewery here called 12 Eyes Brewing that just went out of business. They mainly did the taproom thing and put out some crowlers but that’s it. My guess is that because they didn’t release a ton of beers through Liquor stores they couldn’t sustain themselves. I hope that doesn’t happen to eagle park

I'm only assuming, but, the fact they are barely beyond infancy has them taking baby steps. They do food, as well. So, they're not trying to make it on beer alone. More of a brew pub. They are likely putting their own twist on a concept that works well here. There is a local establishment, Water Street Brewery, that has been around since 1987. They've now got 4 locations around the area, featuring far more pedestrian beer offerings. It seems, Eagle Park is taking the next step, and upping the ante.
Eagle Park does package a couple of beers at a time, for retail sale, which can be purchased in store. As time goes on, if demand dictates, I'm sure they'll consider larger scale production and distribution.

This was ab-so-lu-tely stunning…
Serious beer envy over here mate.
A Citra, Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin hopped classic from Verdant for me to start my night off.

Drekker is releasing this new beer but i'm not sure what to think. Sours are ok but I tend to lean towards IPA's more than anything. The flavors look interesting too so i'm curious.

As am I. I’ve seen this at the liquor store but never get around to buying it because of the many other choices out thereSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Double barrel aged. Bourbon then Rye with vanilla.
Really good.

Omnipollo doesn't make a good IPA so I wouldn't bother…
This was why I was curious. In principle this is a style I like, but from these guys I had my doubts.

Happily I have a bunch of Stillwater IPA’s in store this weekend. This was the first:
Deliciously different.

I had these last night. They were pretty awesome. The Southern Tier Sapsquatch tasted like a super sweet double Jack and Coke. It is almost 15% ABV.
I had to get a side car of the hefeweizen to balance out the alchohol and sweetness. It kind of tasted like a not sweet banana bread. It was very dry. I loved it and got pretty drunk of just 2 glasses of beer!
