Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Deschutes Woody

Deschutes Brewery out of Bend, Oregon has finally gotten its beers into Minnesota. Their well known and highly awarded brews have been sought after here for a while, and now we can get some of them! As part of the celebration of their beers coming to Minnesota, they have sent Woody to visit us. Woody is a mobile bar that looks like a giant barrel on wheels and serves Deschutes brews to thirsty people. I'm sorry, but I was a little slow on the draw for this as Woody has been here since Monday at multiple locations. Don't worry though, Woody will be in town until Saturday. Click here for times and locations across the metro.

So far, I've had the Mirror Pond Pale Ale and Black Butte Porter at a liquor store tasting. They were both very good. I've also purchased one bottle each of their Mirror Mirror and Black Butte XXI from the reserve series. I'm excited about these beers. If you want to get out of the house and have a taste of something new, give Woody a visit!
