Brewer's Cave Golden
Caramel Lager
April 7th thru April 13th
Brewer's Description
Brewer's Cave Golden Caramel Lager begins with a handcrafted mixture of barley and caramel malts, accompanied by a complex variety of Perle, Mount Hood, and Tettnang hops. The end result is a beer marked with a good clean maltiness and a rich toffee hue.
The Brewer's Cave name, logo and recipe are from the old Minnesota Brewing Company. Frank Yarusso of St Paul (who used to have a share of Yarusso Bros. Italian restaurant) bought the brand when the brewery went out of business.

After one of the brew52 reviewers posted a negative review of this beer (see “Barfy”), Mr Yarusso felt obligated to post on this reviewers personal blog questioning his credentials:
“Hi Ben, please explain to me, what your back ground is to judge beer & food. I would lke to meet with you sometime soon. Off: 651-221-0899 Cell: 651-216-7550. All of (3)Brewer’s cave recipes are from Sig Plagens, Minnesota Brewering Co. I don’t like your remarks, especially, when you don’t know what you are talking about. Talk to me before you EVER, say anything about me and my Beer’s.
Wait your response
Frank D. Yarusso
Blue Diamond Brewing Co”
I was not aware someone needed a specific license to drink your beer, captain douschebag. Brilliant marketing though, hats off to you, sir, for shining a favorable light on your brand.

Don’t mess with the mob — you might get his with extra apostrophes, punctuation and bad verb conjugation. Funny you still managed to give it 2.5 stars. You’re too nice.

Wow! Frank Yarusso has great public relation skills! This will be a great story to tell all my beer drinking friends!

Aaron, We must give the guy a break on punctuation. He was out of his skull with rage. Ready to fucking kick the fucking teeth out of any fucking asshole who dare disparage his brewering.
I mean, think about the last time you were so angry you wanted to rip out somebody’s eyeballs and carve their brains out of the socket holes. Were you thinking about your spelling at that time?
