Do Taste Me Brau

The Fraters Beer Ratings Page has once again been updated. There are now over three-hundred-twenty-seven beers from around the world that have been tasted and scored accordingly.

The eight most recent additions are highlighted in red and for the most part are local brews. A trio from Flat Earth Brewing in St. Paul, a pair from Brau Brothers Brewing in Lucan, Minnesota (population 220), and an incredible hoppy (and appropriately named) Hop Whore Imperial IPA from Tyranena Brewing in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

The first Brau Brothers beer I tried didn't do much for me. Frame Straightener is described as a "level and plum" Belgian Pale Ale. It was decent, just not very exciting. But you should never judge a brewery by one beer and the second brew from Brau did not disappoint. Their Cream Stout is tasty and incredibly drinkable (especially for that style of beer). It has such a deft finish that before you know you're at the bottom of your glass and reaching for another. A damn fine beer indeed. Nice work bros.
