All around you felt like you were in the middle of a brewery with equipment and materials backdropping the seating area. Had a great conversation with the bartender who used to work for a couple of breweries in Minnesota. With the ability to choose how many beers you want in your flight (and different flight boards for different sizes), I went with five. Light: A traditional Kolsch with a light body, mild fruity flavor aroma, and low white bread dough flavor. Crisp and refreshing. Double Bubble: A Double IPA that they consider the 'bigger brother ' to the IPA Bubblejack. Packed full of hops including Centennial and Cascade. A hint of honey sweetness from the local honey addition (three pounds per keg), big DIPA body, medium bitterness, medium bubblegum, medium-low tropical flavor. Big and bold DIPA. Dessert Dessert: A Berliner Weisse with a rhubarb flavor that you don 't get often in a Berliner Weisse. Strawberry rhubarb flavors, with an acidic prickly pear aroma. Arise: A smooth Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout. The stout is dark in color, medium-high body even with a smooth (no alcohol-burn) mouthfeel, and rich in flavor. Vanilla and oak is present, with a semi-sweet chocolate flavor. Limelight: A Lime Kolsch that I got on recommendation from the bartender. This beer is one of the newer tapped ones. A lemon-lime flavor is present, with the body still being light and crisp. Hint of spicy fruit in the flavor. Very light acidity (not to a fault) from the lime. I had a great time and would be back for sure!

My wife and I checked out Minneapolis for the day and were looking for a new brewery with outside seating as we headed back to WI. Rush River fit the bill. We had driven by another brewery with packed outside seating and decided to head to Rush. It had a very laid-back atmosphere. While we were there, a mountain bike crew showed up for beers after a ride. I notice that they are right next to Whitetail Ridge Mountain Bike Trails. As a biker, one of the ways a brewery can gain instant credibility with me is to be biker friendly. Hopefully I can check out the trails before a beer at some point in the future. If only I had more free time.
