Modern Times Hello, Grapefruit Session IPA (Picked up at Total Wine). A 3 of 4. A pleasant session IPA that has a nice citrus and grapefruit quality in the nose, as you’d expect. It follows to the body, too, and while you can tell this is a session, it doesn’t compromise a ton on the body.

Side by side of hop forward IPA’s. First up was Hop Gun IPA from Funky Buddha out of Oakland Park, FL. Grapefruit flavors up front with a mix of pineapple & hoppy bitterness on the finish. Next up was New Growth Single Hop Hazy IPA from Cinderblock out of North Kansas City, MO. Juicy & grapefruity this was was bitter than the Hop Gun. All in all these were both good & worth trying.

[girlnephew]

my favorite beer is a grapefruit IPA. The citrus bitterness goes so well with the hops.

Yesterday Sheila and I rode bikes on an 18-mile loop we like through Minneapolis. It took us three hours.

Two miles im my front tire popped. I have no idea what I ran over, but the tire was flat before I came to a stop.

Luckily I had tools, a pump, and a spare tube. It's been a while since I changed a tube. This time I accomplished the task in under five minutes, barely getting my hands dirty.

With that taken care of we re-started the ride. The Minneapolis Greenway is in better shape that previous years. The path has been repaved and re-striped. No tents were set up along the way.

When we got off the Greenway we went to one of my favorite local bike shops, Hub Bike Coop. Sheila pet the dog that was in there; I looked at bikes and bought two new tubes for spares (one for each of our bikes).

Years ago I put a Hub Bike Coop sticker on my old Corolla. Matt ended up with that car. The Hub sticker and another for the University of Wisconsin remained on the car while Matt lived in New York, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. It's a Corolla, so despite being nearly two decades years old I like to think that little blue car with my two stickers is still banging around somewhere on the east coast.

From the bike shop we pedaled south to Venn Brewing. An Australian Shepherd and three other dogs were inside. Sheila pet all of them. For her drink she ordered a Fruited Plains: Grapefruite Wheat. After taking a sip of it, I ordered the same thing. Wow, what an excellent beer on a warm day while biking.

Then we headed south and east to Lake Nokomis. There's a concession stand there where we've ordered beer before. Yesterday we saw a sign posted by the counter stating no beer and wine sales.

The place had been serving alcohol illegally for 12 years. Someone finally noticed that there isn't sufficient "covered seating" to allow beer and wine sales. Good thing after a dozen years of alcoholic chaos someone put an end to that madness and pulled the liquor license.

Still thirsty, we headed west along Minnehaha Parkway to Chicago Ave. Then it was just two blocks north to the Town Hall Tap. Sheila had a blood orange lager while I went with the Masala Mama IPA.

We sat at a table on the front sidewalk and split an appetizer. People watching was decent. Sheila, however, thought it was "people talking." She had nice comments for everyone who walked by.

"Oh I like that dress you're wearing." The woman in it was flattered and chatted with Sheila briefly.

"That's a cool tattoo." That woman also stopped to talk with Sheila, explaining how there was still a lot of coloring to be added to it and what it was going to look like. The tattoo parlor two storefronts away.

"Those are nice sandals. Are the straps a light auburn brown, or is that a darker eggshell (free range, not grocery store egg)?"

Now do you understand why it took us three hours to complete the loop?

Next door to Town Hall Tap is a theater. An old movie projector sits in front of the building. A theater employee told me it had been in use there from about 1945 to 1965.

Next to the theater is the Creekside Supper Club. As Sheila talked to everyone walking down Chicago Avenue, I went over to check the supper club's menu. Next time we are in that neighborhood I want to eat there. Maybe I can also find out how that woman's tattoo coloring is coming along.

Finally we paid our tab. Sheila said goodbye to all her new friends and acquaintances. Then we rode more of Minnehaha Parkway over to Lake Harriet where the car was parked. We thought about getting a beer at the Lake Harriet concession stand (which apparently does have sufficient covered seating). But after seeing all the bike shop and brewery dogs, we wanted to get home to our dogs.

At home we swapped two bikes for three Aussies and went to our local brewery. Sheila went to get us a beer. Oliver, Sulley, and Ella would not stop staring in the direction she went. Sheila always comes back, but they don't trust me on that.

The food truck on site served pizza. We didn't want any. The dogs had other ideas.

Mother Earth Brewing Company & Coronado Brewing Company partner up to release Four Seasons Summer 24 a West Coast IPA.

https://bit.ly/4bbBTGk Vista, CA & Nampa, ID … Mother Earth is teaming up with San Diego’s  Coronado Brewing to release a West-Coast IPA as part of its premier program, The Four Seasons  of Mother Earth.   In keeping with the tradition of a collaboration to break up the series of quarterly big stouts,  Mother Earth kept its ‘24 partnership in Socal when joined by craft cohorts, Coronado Brewing.  The brew celebrates a long-standing relationship between the San Diego breweries.   “Going all the way back to ’09, we sat with Rick (Chapman) at the original Coronado Island  location to pick his brain and gain some insight into the industry, which was, of course, much  different then. Since then both our breweries have been on a similar trajectory and have a lot in  common, so it only made sense to work together on this collab. We don’t work with just anyone – particularly when it comes to the Four Seasons program. Working with Coronado is definitely  an honor and a sign of mutual respect on both sides.”  -Daniel Love, President – Mother Earth Brew Co.  The brewers describe the beer as an “old-school meets new-age” West Coast IPA, and features some newer hops like Elani and Talus which bring a heavy lemon/lime note, along with delicious  ruby red grapefruit, respectively. Simcoe focuses on driving home citrus qualities as well as  some tropical fruit thanks to a new crop that veers away from the piney notes it was known for in  the past. The result is a clean, dry, 7.3% fruit bomb that is sure to impress modern and classic hop heads alike.   Four Seasons Summer ‘24 is available in retailers the week of June 24th on draft and in 16oz cans or via early release at Mother Earth’s three tap rooms on Saturday, June 22nd. Visit Mother  Earth’s website and social feeds for details.   # # #  About Mother Earth  Mother Earth Brew Co. develops hand crafted artisanal ales in year-round, as well as seasonal and specialty offerings. With multi-state as well as  international distribution serviced by breweries in Vista, CA and Nampa, ID; Mother Earth’s award-winning beers help define and maintain the  standard of excellence expected of independent craft brewers. from Northwest Beer Guide - News - The Northwest Beer Guide https://bit.ly/3VwuHPb

That's just grape . . . fruit.

Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet Magnum Edition Imperial IPA (Picked up at Trader Joe's). A 3 of 4. As you'd expect, lots of grapefruit pith, pine and resin are dominant, and this feels quite a bit old-school. There's far more caramel malt sweetness and orange in the body than I was expecting, and then an aggressive dry bitterness in the finish. More aggressive on the palate than you'd probably expect.

Today’s side by side was Double IPA’s. First up was Fear Movie Lions, a hazy DIPA from Stone Brewing out of Escondido, CA. This one was great, I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to try it. Hoppy & juicy, this was full flavored & smooth start to finish. It was made with Loral & Mosaic Hops. Next up was Cage’s Castles from Toppling Goliath Brewing out of Decorah, IA. Also great, this one was creamy & bright with more of a grapefruit flavor. Made with strata, Nelson Sauvin, Citra & mosaic hops, this one was everything a DIPA should be. I loved both of these, highly recommend trying each.
