We went there for everything we needed. We went there when thirsty, of course, and when hungry, and when dead tired. We went there when happy, to celebrate, and when sad, to sulk. We went there after weddings and funerals, for something to settle our nerves, and always for a shot of courage just before. We went there when we didn't know what we needed, hoping someone might tell us. We went there when looking for love, or sex, or trouble, or for someone who had gone missing, because sooner or later everyone turned up there. Most of all we went there when we needed to be found.

FEATURED DRAFT OF THE WEEK


SURLY BREWING COMPANY OVERRATED! WEST COAST STYLE IPA
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13014/89747/

Pints has traveled to many places but nowhere near as much as St. Paul, MN.  It was to our surprise that we didn't know that much about Surly Brewing Company.  Maybe it was a blind loyalty to Summit or the closeness to Leinenkugel's in Chippewa Falls, but it seems we never stretched out of our comfortable beer circle.  In stepped St. Paul resident Scott Longval.

"You have got to try ANYTHING Surly.  I am at the Surly Beer Hall every Tuesday and every third Friday of the month," Scott said.  So we did.  EYE OPENER! WOW! 

IPA's are currently a big hit at Pints, so we try to bring in many different types.  This West Coast Style IPA does not disappoint.  Hopheads looking a new style of IPA on draft, should stop in soon!
