Totally agree on the Belgian beer in MN point - it would be so great to have an awesome local Belgian-style brewery! Hopefully your thoughtful, constructive criticism gets back to them and they can step it up. little spoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731952242886782490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837950303057312162.post-6603758741646805722015-11-06T09:58:33.839-08:002015-11-06T09:58:33.839-08:00I don't think your review is unfair.

I do agree that their staff is extremely knowledgeable and gave us unprompted information about all of their beers which was greatly appreciated.<br /><br />By the end of the month, the Twin Cities will have another brewery focusing on Belgian beers called Lakes & Legends. I'll be beertending there, you should come check it out when we open.Cody Hollidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747080529753566276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837950303057312162.post-3376517400982989442015-11-06T08:58:45.894-08:002015-11-06T08:58:45.894-08:00I'm afraid I'm with you... not the best ex...I'm afraid I'm with you... not the best experience with the beers. Some are decent but so far, none are exemplary.<br /><br />I've been in there a couple of times, so it's not a large sampling, and I actively dislike the location. I'm told it's an improvement from their previous space which makes me wonder what that was like.<br /><br />I do want them to succeed!Kevin Meintsmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690618538830057970noreply@blogger.com
