    I’ll add it to the list, I’m a big fan of their Cream Ale and it is available at a surprising amount of restaurants in the metro.

    I like the Cream Ale too. Just had the Lager Royale recently and really liked it for a “lighter” beer. I’m a mich golden guy when it comes to light beers but this is a great alternative when I want some more flavor. Great finish.

    Would you far north east guys drive over to Bent Paddle and get them to get their Classic cream ale back on the shelves? Great beer, zero in Brainerd stores. Castle D is great too, my second favorite.

    I like their beers. Nothing too flashy, just quality beer that’s easy to drink. Their cream ale is a Winter staple here in the fridge or on the ice. 3 years ago a buddy paid the manager at the Sportsman $200 to bring the last 2/3 of their keg to our cabin. We drank the entire thing without dealing with the obnoxious drunks at the bar and watched some college football while eating fresh fish. Great time

    The seasonal 12 pack has Dark Chocolate George Hunter Stout and Solstice Saison. New favorites for me!

    Love castle danger beer!

    I am a huge fan of their Aurora Haze Hazy IPA, and I love that they sell six packs for about $10-11. Beats the 4 packs for $16 that is so common nowadays :(.

    I’ll have to try some of their stouts this winter, haven’t been disappointed by any of their beers yet.

    My lame claim to fame with Castle Danger beer:

    Hank and Ben’s daycare lady (our next door neighbor) watched the owners of Castle Danger Brewery when they were little too mrgreen

    I’m a big castle danger fan. if I order a tap beer anywhere in the Duluth area, 90% of the time it is a Cream Ale.

    It’s a very cool taproom and location for sure. If you’re ever there, order some pizza from the local pizza place in town and they will deliver to the taproom. It’s some of the best pizza I’ve ever had.

    Retired, only available on tap was Gentleman George Hunter Stout, barrel aged in bourbon barrels. Outstanding but it was a meal in a glass. Could not drink a second.

    I’m old and IBU(hops) kills me. That’s why I like the cream ales. They’re usually under or around 30.

    I had a glass of CD Orange Cream ale this fall that was delicious, limited run on tap only. I typically do not go for any weird “flavors” in my beer. Fruit, coffee, chocolate, bourbon, etc. I like all those things, just not usually in my beer. This was very subtle and in my opinion, better than the standard Cream Ale.

    My favorite CD is the White Pine Project IPA, and their fresh hop Mosaic IPA is delicious as well. But I’m a bigger fan of Bent Paddle than Castle Danger in general. This time of year I like to get into brown and black ales with maltier flavor profiles — Bent Paddle Black Ale is a perfect winter beer.

    I don’t normally like coffee beers, but the Bent Paddle Cold Press Black is a great ‘1st beer of the day’ while out ice fishing!

    I just found a 6-pack!!!! Lager Royal. Total wines in Woodbury in the cooler. Cant wait to try it tonight. I’m a little disappointed by its low ABV of 4.5 though.
