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.

Interesting Fact
There is a web site for Blue Diamond Brewing that seems to be quite out of date, but it's got Frank Yarusso's contact info if you'd like to get in touch.

This one cought me off guard. I had no expectations, and quite honestly I was just planning on slogging through a bottle for the sake of the review. I was, however, very happy with the product. Worth it if you don’t like hoppy beer, but like a full-bodied one.
I see that a Yarusso brother is the one who kept this recipe going. Yarusso’s is a nice old Italian place on Payne Ave that looks respectable (I’ve never been but know those who have). I have been to Morelli’s Liquor which is right next to Yarusso’s. Good prices and a nice wine selection and a top-notch deli. The place just oozes attitude: the old Italian food and wine shop…..that’s family run……since the 30’s…….that doesn’t take plastic (leaving no paper trail)…..
not sayin, just sayin.
