berrywise says I’m ready for spring

but not because of this beer, just this cold spell. I think the best pint of this I’ve had this year was at Stub and Herb’s when they had it on cask one night. Ya just can’t beat cask beer. Not to mention that Stubs, now that it is under new ownership, has quite the beer line-up. Check em out if you are in the area.
I was over at the Groveland Tap (another great Minnesota beer bar) for a friend’s birthday and had all the intentions of getting a pint of Winter but when I stepped to the bar I just couldn’t pull the trigger as I knew that the Tapper would also have Oatmeal Stout on tap 
So I guess that’s where it ranks for me. It’s a good beer but not the best that is coming out of Summit.
