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. 

P

ride Beer Dabbler is back, starting at 6 pm tonight. Many of the beers to pour are listed below, and many of them will soon be on draft at their host brewery taprooms too, ranging from light and fruity shandies to warming wee heavies.

Two other themes of the week are summer vacations and collaboration. Lemon, lime, and citrus are popular summer flavors thus far in 2023, and the collaborations bring a number of unique businesses together, whether it’s other breweries, local coffee, or internationally renowned prog rock.

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.
