Does anyone have any photos from Arborfest? Jim needs a good shot or two for Great Lakes Brewing News, so if you have some good photos, let me know asap (ryan AT mnbeer.com) and I’ll get you in contact with one another.
Thanks!

These Tanks Go to Eleven
Not to be outdone by some of the other Minnesota breweries and brewpubs with new tanks and equipment, Schell’s has added two more tanks. They’re not exactly small, either… 13,020 gallons…
And as a side note, I think the new recipe for Zommerfest is a hit. Yum.

Flat Earth Element 115
Psst. A description of Element 115, Flat Earth‘s newest beer has been added to their website:
UFO experts claim that this element combined with another element make UFOs fly. A true American style beer made with lager yeast fermented at warmer ale temperatures gives this beer a slight fruity character yet remains crisp and refreshing. It depends on whom you ask. Some will call it an West Coast lager, some a California Common and other still will say amber hybrid. We hopped this beer with four different west coast varieties of hops, Northern Brewer, Cluster, Simcoe and Mt. Hood.
