Better people…better food…and better beer…

You may have surmised that Ron and I are huge Rush fans. I haven’t missed a tour since I first saw them in 1986. They were also a major part of the Best. Day. Ever.

Imagine my glee, then, when I found out that Flat Earth Brewing in St. Paul, Minnesota is making a beer named after a Rush song.

Cygnus X-1 Porter

This robust English style porter has an add [sic] twist, rye. Rye is used in making Canadian whiskey. It was created as a tribute to our favorite band - Rush. Cygnus X-1 has a creamy mocha chocolate flavor with a hint of spice. It has a slightly dry finish leaving you wanting more. English hops balance out this 6.5% ABV beer.
Now Available year round!

Anybody travelling out that way anytime soon who could score me a bomber?

[Edit by Ron]ME TOO!

I did this in the *gasp* sunlight, so you can see the separation better. Note the upside-down spoon, as well.

Cheers!
