Local Souths: 5 Minnesota beers to drink in September

The annual cycle revolves around back to school. Whether you have a dependent child or not, there is a release until the beginning of the school year – a person-to-person reverberation, inviting to a celebratory beer (or five celebratory beers) .

Fortunately, local Minnesota brewers have everything in place to help you. So, while Little Bobby and Little Sue are studiously studying upstairs, release one of these new fresh beers and applaud the fact that they will be the problem of someone else in the morning.

Capable one of us
IPA, 6% ABV, 10 IBU

I've heard about messages in a bottle, but a message in a beer can ?! Once you have finished forgiving me for this piece, try Able's new mind-blurred IPA, consciously, one of us. Ten percent of all beer sales will be donated to the RAICES human rights organization. A few sips will make you forget the propensity of this writer to the stupid bullshit. The beer itself is a "classic foggy IPA", if there is such a thing, that will go soft. It's thanks to the added oats, and because of the malt bill, it ends clean, with a burst of juice at the end for you to sip. On top of that, you can drink with the satisfaction of knowing that your beer money will help the refugees. One of us makes you feel good everywhere.

Sophie Hawaiian
Pale Ale, 5% ABV, 18 IBU

The fact that the summer is over does not mean that you have to remove the tiki drinks. The new Hawaiian Sophie, loaded with pineapple by Headflyer, is an exhilarating juice box for the gray days that invade your terrace and goes into hibernation. Cloudy and overgrown with bitter and fruity jumps, this limited version of the north-east brewery is pure pleasure all along. At a rate of 5%, you get all the fantasies of a juicy IPA without the scary head hangover that these big-body hopmonsters can bring. Sophie is a gentler breed of mist.

Incoming MN rice
Porter, 7% ABV, 27 IBU

Inbound BrewCo's Wild Rice Porter is one of the North Loop's annual releases, but is now being revamped. Composed at 7% ABV (against 8.1% last year) and renamed MN Rice, the ultra-local delight returns in packs of four, which makes it even easier to share. Roasty, as always, and with a sweet and creamy finish, it's an excellent beer to share around the table. Or, if this baggage handler with the slightest English silhouette is too handsome to share, run away with your four pack in the wood, where he will marry well with freshly fallen leaves and loneliness.

Tin Whiskers Pixel Bot
IPA, 7.6% ABV, 11 IBU

Tin Whiskers has recently tried new flavors, creating a small army of robots to extend their influence far beyond their footprint on St. Paul. Their last automatic emissary is Pixel Bot, a small neutral IPA programmed to trigger the fun centers of your brain and make you submit. The Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops are the circuit of Pixel Bot, giving the beer a gooseberry aroma and a tangy aftertaste that will satisfy all tastes.

Spiral Third Street Season
Season, 6.5% ABV, nd IBU

Since they are made from a bushel of random ingredients, seasons can take two forms. Either you get a perfect combination of malt, additive and herbs, or you create a soup flavored with esters and flavors. Fortunately, Hastings' Spiral Brewing made the old one with its Third Street Season, a farm beer that combines rosemary and lemon with a spicy bronze base beer for an appropriate tribute to the harvest season. Third Street Season is out in the Spiral Lounge in August and you can drink it for as long as you want.
