I highly recommend the super hot green chile at Taco Sal. It is elite.

hi - don't mean to bother any of you, but i've been trying to track down an email for spenser...i'm an old ISU friend (and friend of Babs, coolhand luke and other fine ladies and lads from that era)
so, spenser if you happen to read this drop me a line
With all of your excitement over "hot" foodstuffs, I was wondering if you have ever had Green-Chilli-Beer? I had some from a micro-brewery over the weekend in Columbia, Missouri and was absolutely taken with the stuff. I this stuff is old news to you, would you have any brews you could suggest? The beer here in Minnesota is getting a little boring...
I'm not really into beer these days. I've nevertried any of the chile varieties that are available here and elsewhere, but I guess I might appreciate such a brew, if given the opportunity.
i think chili beers are the most vile nasty things on earth. patton brought them to a halloween party once - he came as satan claus and that was one of his "gifts".
The super hot green chili has made a presence here at the local Taco John's. I've never had that kind of heat in a fast food joint and it's much appreciated!
Mike, pay no mind to Mr. Beef. The St. Croix Brewing Company produces two beers in the Minnesota/Wisconsin St. Croix River valley area and I highly recommend their Serrano Pepper Ale. I keep a six pack of it around at all times, and find the description to be spot-on. The Maple Ale is good as well if you're into that sort of thing. Not sure what part of MN you hail from, but MGM Liquor on Excelsior in St. Louis Park/Uptown Mnpls stocks both brews regularly.
On another note, I'm bewildered by your comment that you're finding regional beers in Minnesota boring since I've found the opposite to be true. Have you tried New Glarus Brewing Company out of Wisconsin (you'll probably have to make a run to Hudson to pick this one up as they don't distribute to MN)? I don't know why, but the guy reminds me of Spencer....
And what about Town Hall Brewery in Dinkytown? An admittedly regrettable location for a fine brewery, but they have good beers nonetheless. Try their Lambic, or whatever the special of the week may be. James Page out of Stevens Point, WI not only sponsors a yearly "Blubber Run" 5k in downtown Mnpls which is a damn good time, but also produces some fine brews (I especially like the "Burly Brown" and "Iron Range Amber Lager")
Have you tried anything from Lake Superior Brewing out of Duluth, MN? Or Point, or August Schell (one of the US's oldest breweries), or Summit, or Joseph Huber? And although it might not be considered regional, Bells out of Kalamazoo, MI creates some phenomenal brews that are readily available on liquor store shelves as well as many taps around the Twin Cities area.
In addition, although I can't speak for areas outside the cities and their inner suburbs, I find the local liquor stores to carry an enormous variety of regionally and nationally distributed craft beers, as well as an ample selection of beers from around the world (love those Belgians!) to keep a beer drinker occupied for a lifetime.
