This is the tale of three men who had never met before. When these three men met, they tasted a beer that sparked their journey. This is that journey. It all began a little over two years ago, in the winter of 2014. These three men started a new adventure at a new company and had to go to the arctic known as Minnesota. If it wasn’t obvious, I am one of these three men. To protect the other two, let’s change their names. Let’s call them Jose and Lee (Good luck breaking that co

I’m in all bold and Anthony’s in italics FYI. Anthony here. Cicerone (n.) — A word Brian heard once, misunderstood, but decided to use anyway since it sounds cool to him.

Hey there, let’s talk about beer. More importantly, let’s talk about good beer. It doesn’t matter that the best-selling beers are all shit, because the first, second, third, millionth, etc. rules of beer are we don’t talk about those beers (or at least those should be the rules). I’m going to define good beer as beer you would actually want to drink; I won’t get bogged down in distinctions between what is considered craft and what is not, mostly because I’m too lazy to clearl
