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.

New Minnesota Beers

We have so much going on in the Minnesota craft beer scene right now. Seems like new breweries are popping up all the time, which is great for people like me who enjoy tasty new brews. What about some of the breweries that aren't so new? I thought it might be cool to list some of the new recipes to come out from some of our more established brewers, along with a couple that are still upcoming.

New and currently available:
  • Brau Brothers Hopsession - A new super hoppy session beer (4.2%) from our favorite Lucan brewery.
  • Lift Bridge Hop Dish - A new IPA that is a variation on last year's very tasty Hop Prop.
  • Schell's Radler - A German-style grapefruit beer? Yep!
  • Summit Saga and Summer Ale - Saga is a floral IPA and Summer Ale is a light crisp Kolsch-style brew.
Upcoming:
  • Schell's Emerald Rye - A hoppy, bitter lager made with rye in the mash.
  • Summit Unchained Batch 10 - A Belgian style abbey ale from brewer Nate Siats.
So there you go. I'm sure that many of you are just as excited as me about all the new breweries in Minnesota. However, let's not forget the breweries that have been around awhile longer, and are still coming up with new brews!
