On an early December evening Samantha and I were in our car headed northwest to knock the last couple of breweries off of our Northern Ale Guide list. That day the destination was Fergus Falls where the furthest brewery that remained was located. It was a long drive and under the darkness of the night we arrived at Union Pizza & Brewing Co.

In late April, Samantha and I were at a birthday party for my nephew. The night before our friends informed us they would be at Bauhaus Brew Labs that evening and that we should stop by. Conveniently, my sister lives in Northeast Minneapolis and it was a quick drive to their taproom.

While looking on the map for the location of our friends’ housewarming party, I decided to check and see whether there were any breweries in the area.

On our way there we stopped by one of our favorite food trucks turned restaurant; Cafe Racer Kitchen. This was particularly fitting because the last time we were at 612 it was to evaluate them for our wedding. After filling our stomachs with some delicious Latin American cuisine (try the pulled chicken) we made the short drive to Northeast, Minneapolis.

When our friend Dustin expressed interest in coming to a brewery with us I asked him to pick his favorite and I’d wait to find a time to go with him. He said Dangerous Man which was fine by me. So on a late January evening we got a group together, swung by The Anchor Fish & Chips, and headed to their taproom in Northeast Minneapolis.
