Beer boys review Ultimate Sports Bar beer, Minnesota Ale

Welcome back, fellow lovers of exquisite beers and sprits.

This week we celebrated the tallest beer reviewer’s birthday. You might be asking yourself, “Which one is that?” You’d be right if you answered Mack. Just kidding, he needs a step stool to cook his dinner.

It was actually Sam’s birthday. We planned on trying out some extra-special brews from the Twin Cities area, but our plans were busted by the Bladder Buster from the Ultimate Sports Bar and Grill. However, after realizing talking about it wouldn’t require many words, we ended up drinking one of the planned beers. That beer was provided by our guest reviewer this week.

We are again joined by Josh Elstad who this time brought us Nordic Blonde Ale from Bent Brewstillery. It was a gift from his uncle for his birthday about two weeks ago. Remember ol’chaps, if you’re not 21, you can’t drink what we drink, but if you are, Stop@Buzzed.

**The Bladder Buster**

The Bladder Buster is a behemoth of a drink, and isn’t something you’re gonna be able to take down yourself. You’re gonna need a jingle of Johnnies or many a Bennie to tackle this monster.

This bad boy is 240 oz of tap beer or the equivalent to 20 beers. Where you sit at the table is how many beers you’re going to consume. If you sit by the tap, you’re going to have a single glass because it just never seems to actually be empty.

It was a strange phenomenon that we can’t really explain. If you like beer and want to split this thing with a couple of friends, it’s worth the 30-minute round trip.

**Nordic Blonde Ale**

Nordic Blonde Ale is made in Rosemount, and they hit this one right up the middle.

It is a pretty basic beer without a really standout quality about it. It has the bitterness you would expect from a local brewery but no flavor substance to back it up.

It left us wanting a bit more on that front. The lack of foundation in this beer allows it to go down the throat nicely.

It is better than a basic, big-name beer flavor-wise, but wouldn’t hold up to other small-time breweries. The decoration on the can is something that is quite special.

The centerpiece is a blonde Nordic woman sitting on a baby blue late 60’s Mustang. Behind her is a plaid pattern of different shades of blues, orange, bronze, green, purple and yellow. Overall, it would be about a 3.5/5 stars

That is all for this week. After spring break, we plan on reviewing the rest of Josh’s gifted beers.

Well, if you’re a single Bennie that is ready to mingle, Josh somehow stole 90s Shania Twain from Mack so he is back on the market again.

Anyways, back to choring.
