Best of
the Twin Cities
What a bad year to be a lactose-intolerant beer drinker in the Twin Cities. In 2015, Pennsylvania brewery Tired Hands figured out that adding lactose sugar to an IPA could bring the eminent beer style to dessert-y heights, and that delectable fad has finally made it to Minnesota. Crowlers of Junkyard Brewing’s Shake-O-Matic are among the most sought-after brews around, and Dangerous Man’s ongoing milkshake IPA series has added another gold star to the Northeast destination’s pedigree. Velvety and incredibly fruity, it might just be the variation that finally universalizes the IPA to drinkers of every stripe.
