Welcome to Beer Dabbler’s Freshies, our weekly rundown on the newest beers hitting the store shelves and taproom coolers in Minnesota from your favorite local and national breweries.
Y
east variations, easy drinking beers, and “classic” double dry-hopped IPAs lead the charge in this week’s new Freshies. We have plenty of hazies hitting the scene, including at the newly open Minneapolis location for Bricksworth, who are expanding beyond Burnsville.
Beyond the haze, though, it’s a diverse week for beer releases with classic English-style milds, light body blonde ales, and more on tap, as well as NA options and THC drinks at many breweries around the state.
Each week, the Beer Dabbler team highlights the most tantalizing new beers available across the state that we’re most excited to try. Check out these Top Flights at Dabbler Depot—Click on each image for stock levels.
