- Beer Fridge Volume 7 - Indeed Brewing - Mixed Nuts Cream Ale
Cheers & Happy New Year to you all! How were your holidays? I hope everyone got to enjoy themselves, and drank some amazing brews. I'm reviewing the heavy hitters, OGs of NE Mpls: Indeed Brewing. Mixed Nuts Cream Ale is smooth, creamy, and rich. This is sure to be your new favorite gathering beer. Indeed has been crushing it in MN, so much they expanded to their 2nd location in Milwaukee, WI. Daytripper Pale Ale, Midnight Rider Black IPA, and Shenanigans Honey Wheat Ale are some of my faves.

6 min - Beer Fridge Volume 3 - Insight Brewing Hop Spin Vol 1This BONUS Episode features the smooth, tropical, hazy AF, Double Dry Hopped Double Hazy IPA - Hop Spin Vol 1 from the legendary Insight Brewing. Insight has made a name for themselves over the years, and with the addition of a new head brewer (Sean Carnahan) in 2020, they're taking things in a new direction! Sean has made it known that he is all about the hops and this brew doesn't disappoint!Coming in at 8.6% ABV, it will keep you toasty in the colder months, but quench your thirst when it's hot & humid. Hop Spin Vol 1 is extremely smooth, complex, tropical on the nose & tongue, and extremely fun to drink. This is part of a rotating series, so it's no longer available. However, Insight is brewing up something for EVERYONE! Go check them out!2821 E Hennepin AveMinneapolis, MN 55413612.722.7222insightbrewing.com19 min
