While in Minnesota I visited the state's sole surviving brewpub, Sherlock's Home , at 11000 Red Circle Drive in Minnetonka. The elegant restaurant is attached to Watson's Pub where the 9 bbl. Canadian-built system is kept very busy.
Tours are available Saturdays by appointment.
Hop pellets are utilized for all additions except dry-hopping where whole leaf hops are used. The malts are ground on the premises. The Queen Anne Light was a pale straw color, displayed a good head, demonstrated a pronounced wheat flavor and was, overall, a nice summer beer. The Gold Crown Lager was amber in color and had a hoppy flavor. The Star of India IPA was a dark golden color and its aroma combined subtle hops with noticeable malt.
