Fish Top Fish Bottom

There are many existential questions that plague the insomniacs, intrigue some of the greatest philosophers of our time, and foster the most lively debates between breweries in the North Loop & Buffalo, MN. 

Introducing Fish Top Fish Bottom, a Malted Milk Ball Coffee Toffee Imperial Milk Stout that we made with our friends at Hayes’ Public House. Fish Top Fish Bottom won’t only spark lively conversation, but it was also brewed with Golden Promise barley, pale chocolate, chocolate wheat malt and milk sugar. It was then conditioned on malted milk balls, espresso coffee, toffee bits and cocoa nibs. There’s a lot to debate here, but one thing that’s for sure not up for debate is that Fish Top Fish Bottom is 13%. ABV
