The following excerpt is from a City Pages article.


BlackStack/Lua Pocket Tees

IPA, 7% ABV, n/a IBU

We started with a collaboration, so we’ll end with one, too. BlackStack teamed up with Des Moines’ Lua Brewing for Pocket Tees, an easygoing IPA brewed with the brand-goddamn-new hop variety Sabro. Haven’t heard of Lua? That’s because they haven’t opened yet, but Forager lead brewer Zack Dunbar is taking up brewing duties, and the BlackStack crew is sending him off right. They teamed with Dunbar to brew Pocket Tee, a pineapple-y IPA brewed with a new (yet undisclosed) strain of yeast. Pocket Tees is a fragrant current of juice that goes down easier than its 7% ABV should allow. If this is any indication of what to Lua will brew, expect gobs of citrus and an experimental mindset.

August in MN is all about patio beers, and this list is a lifesaver. I wanted to share these recommendations with my homebrewing club in a clean, professional format, so I ran the text through Free Online Markdown to convert it into a neat document. Cheers for the great read and the refreshing suggestions!

Love this month's selection! The breakdown of that West Coast IPA from Falling Knife is spot on. I’ve been keeping a digital cellar log of all these local recommendations, and I used MarkdownCo Pro to format the tasting notes from this article into my personal database. It’s so much easier to read on the go now!
