I would like to introduce to you... π₯π₯π₯... the new beers of Iron Exchange Tavern & Brewery in Maple Plain! The new head brewer Chris has been hard at work in the brewhouse and has some incredible beers on a very diverse tap list! There is definitely something for everyone, but here are a few of the highlights from the incredible beer dinner this past weekend:
(Pictured in order):
Purpleberry Puffs - One of my favorite sours currently! A delicious mixed berry sour. There is so much flavor in this, you can literally taste every berry Chris chose for this combination. This paired with a custard tart, really made it feel like pie in a glass. Gotta love starting dinner with dessert! π
Czech Pilsner - This beer is Chris' newest addition and is a true beer gem for flavor, experience, and authenticity! All ingredients and methods used were to recreate as close as possible a true Czech style pilsner, and all of the hard work behind it shows! Absolutely brought me back to Europe and the foam pour just made it sooooo enjoyable! π€©
West Coast IPA - just a truly delicious, hop-forward, crisp IPA. π»
Belgian Dubbel - Definitely one of the more complex beers on the menu- the spices and banana notes were really prominent for me. A wonderful warming beer for the chilly fall season!
Mexican Lager - this crispy Mexican lager is a perfect example of the easy-drinker! Crisp, clean, beautiful corn flavor. This was the beer paired with our appetizer course and it was just the perfect way to start the meal!
This is your sign to get out to Maple Plain! Not only do they have some incredible beers, their food is always stellar and the bar is absolutely beautiful! Go check them out and be sure to let me know which beers were your favorites!! π»
