Episode 5: Beer from the North Country
We’re celebrating the middle of winter by reviewing two brews from Minnesota companies. Shawn and I review Strawberry Wheat by Brau Brothers Brewing Company, as well as Surly Brewing Company’s CynicAle.
In lieu of a tasting tip this week, Shawn and I have a “Talking Point” on the “what” and “where” of beer drinking. We take the opportunity to discuss beer with food, as well as situational drinking with the appropriate beer.

Surly Brewing Company – CynicAle Style: Belgian Ale / Saison ABV (Alcohol by Volume): 6.6% IBU (International Bitterness Units): 38
