I haven’t had a chance to sample the Coffee Bender yet. Is anyone currently pouring it?

Congrats! Coffee Bender, Summit EPA and Herkimer’s Alt are all thoroughly enjoyed in the Anderson/Bacon household.

It’s been a while, but I’ve had my share of Pig’s Eye in the past as well!

Whoops…just saw that the Triple Rock has it tomorrow. Anywhere else?

Not that I know of… Coffee Bender isn’t terribly common.

Cafe Twenty Eight has it on currently and it is the same batch that was sent to the GABF and was at ABR. Call to see if it still on 612-926-2800

Hamms took gold for American Lager too, not really an MN brew anymore, but former at least.
