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. 

W

elcome to Women’s History Month. This first short week of the month shows the beginnings of a movement, with several beers brewed and crafted by femme-identifying brewers across the industry, and several more in line for debut on International Women’s Day, March 8. The styles are just as diverse as the brewers, with gose, hazy IPA, dark lagers and much, much more.

We also see expanding product lines from a few national and local breweries, be it two new Dead Guy beers, a Parabola one-off, and a double Traitor IPA. Plus, local events across the state, including the growing interest in bier stacheln as spring seasonal bocks return.
