Modist Brewing

(Downtown, Minneapolis, MN)

Scooter’s 1613th bar, first visited in 2023.

Modist Brewing reminded me enough of Fulton Beer that I had to double check to make sure I hadn’t wandered back to the wrong place by mistake. (Though that would have been a tough feat since Modist is right across the street from Bricksworth.)

I had the Honeycomb Catacomb (honey porter) and the Ritual Night (2022) (Mexican dark chocolate stout), and sadly that’s about all I remember about this place because I was pretty hammered.

Bricksworth Beer Co

(Downtown, Minneapolis, MN)

Scooter’s 1612th bar, first visited in 2023.

I had picked this place out for dinner weeks before this trip because the pizza looked good and because of its location.

Along with my pizza I had the Trick Question, a DIPA, brewed by Bricksworth Beer. I didn’t even know until I saw it on the menu that they had their own beer.

BTW if you visit here immediately after 13 beers at 6 prior breweries and you get up to go use the restroom, leave a trail of breadcrumbs because the restrooms are not in the restaurant but elsewhere in the building and I got so lost coming back.

Apologies for the terrible patio photo — while I was having my dinner the weather changed form light rain to downpour and I couldn’t get water to stay off the lens.

Fulton Beer

(Downtown, Minneapolis, MN)

Scooter’s 1611th bar, first visited in 2023.

I almost cut this brewery at the last minute because I was running out of stamina, but I’m glad I didn’t because I enjoyed this place a lot.

I had the Snow Emergency (stout) and Persistence (barleywine). I regret that I didn’t buy any merch here, but I did at least remember to get a sticker.

By the time I left it had started raining. Fortunately my next destination was only a couple of blocks away.

(Downtown, Minneapolis, MN)

Scooter’s 1610th bar, first visited in 2023.

After 6 (half pours) of double-digit ABV stouts at the previous three breweries, I was a bit off my game here so I don’t remember a whole lot about it apart from the two long parallel bar counters facing each other with the taps and bartenders in-between.

I had the Contains Bees: Peanut Butter Honey Blonde and a Thundersnow (Winter Warmer). Though I am now starting to wonder if I was poured the wrong thing instead of the Thundersnow, because nobody else with check-ins for that beer in the weeks before or after my visit mention it tasting buttery like it did for me.
