Hops once again take center stage this week as I have two hop-forward IPAs for you.
Up first, a Minnesota brewery.
Third Street Brewhouse is located in Cold Springs, Minnesota, a city of about 4000 located a little ways northwest of Minneapolis.
They began brewing back in 2011 and have six year round brews to choose from. Currently you can only find them in Minnesota, North Dakota, and northern Wisconsin.
My friend recently gave me their flagship IPA – Hop Lift – which is one of their brews available all year. There was just something about that crane-game clasper holding on to that hop that made me feel like I had gotten a winner.
