Dreamy Flavors: Explosions of pineapple juice are punctuated by touches of stone fruit and orange citrus. Visionary Ingredients: A whopping 5 lbs per barrel of juicy Citra and Sultana Hops, plus a malt bill of 30% Oats and 70% Wheat to create a fluffy, pillowy mouthfeel.  

Hey, have you heard about the brewery that’s always running out of beer?

No, this isn’t a popsicle stick joke. The answer is Modist Brewing! 

And you probably haven’t tried them because their boundary-pushing beers never stray more than 25 miles from the taproom. 

Minneapolis locals would probably like to keep things that way, considering they suck down these brews as fast as Modist can make ‘em. But lucky us, ‘cause those GABF award-winning brewers agreed to part with a small stash of their flagship brew, today’s Dreamyard NE IPA. 

This is THE beer that put Modist on the Twin Cities craft map, and it took home top honors at the Minneapolis City Pages Best of Beer 2018. And once you get a taste, it’s easy to see why. 

See, Modist is home to the first-ever mash filter in the region, meaning beers like Dreamyard don’t follow traditional recipes. This convention-smashing, 7.1% ABV pineapple bomb was crafted entirely barley-free! 

The result is an explosion of hazy tropical juice, wrapped in a thick-yet-soft mouthfeel from the huge oat and wheat malt bill. Don’t be surprised if your first-sip reaction is “Whoa!” followed immediately by another succulent sip. 

Grab your stash now and be one of the first tasters outside Minneapolis! 

Heck, with only a handful of modern mash filters in America right now, you’ll also be among the few to raise a glass of a truly barley-free IPA.
