My wife and I have made a good hobby of traveling around and trying local breweries wherever we go. One fun thing we have in common anyway. We use the Untappd app to log and rate beers, but mostly just to remind us of what we have tried. She recently hit 1,000 unique beers. I'm still a ways behind her in unique, but easily have her beat in overall quantity.
Bong, we've been to Pulpit Rock, also Toppling Goliath. Liked their stuff quite a bit. Also have visited PIVO in Calmar.
I'm mostly a pilsner/lager guy, but I have come around to trying some IPAs, mostly since so many places make a lot of them and I run out of beers to try. But not my preferred style. I also liked some Scotch and brown ales and a good stout now and then.
My most recent favorite is Toil and Trubbel, a Belgian dubbel from a local place in Rochester, MN called Little Thistle. Really tasty. But if I am going to indulge and hit party/tailgate mode, I stick with Miller 64 since the low carbs don't play havoc with my diabetes. I can whoop it up a bit without taking too much of a toll.
