(Irvine Park, St Paul, MN)
Scooter’s 1621st bar, first visited in 2023.
Though the location made this a natural choice, the primary reason I picked this brewery was that I liked the name.
A name that would soon prove fitting.
Out front was a nice covered patio with a lit fire pit, but it was too gross outside for anyone to be using it. Inside was a long bar with a selection of video games at the far end.
Rather than smaller 5oz samples, I opted for a full pour of a single beer that looked particularly good to me: OMINOUS (an imperial brown ale).
It’s only appropriate that as I was having a beer named OMINOUS in a brewery called Bad Weather Brewing, that I got a new weather alert update that the winter storm warning was now upgraded to a blizzard warning. I realized I was going to have to keep a close eye on the weather and potentially make some tough decisions later.
While I was drinking my beer the bartender was chatting with a guy to my let about someone she knew who lived (or used to live) in St. Louis. The guy to my left made a comment about St. Louis being a shithole and how glad he is to not have to go there anymore. He then added “Same for Kansas City, that place is a shithole too,” I turned to them in mock offence and said “Hay, wait a second, I’m from Kansas City! To which they both laughed and then he said “Well you aren’t there now, so obviously you knew to find something better.”
