A couple of months ago I posted something about seeing a new brewpub going up in Waverly, MN, but was not able to find any other information (probably ’cause I didn’t look too hard). Well, I now have a bit more information about the All-American Grill & Brewhouse. Well, okay, I’ve got a link to a website that is under construction. The site says they’ll be opening sometime in September and that they’ll be featuring beer brewed by Ugly Tree Brewing Company. I’m ugly. I like trees. They may have something here. I’ll continue my hard-core sleuthing and actually send an e-mail out into the ether or whatever we call this webified world of ours and see if I can’t get more information. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, Waverly is about 38 miles west of Mpls according to our good friends at Mapquest.
Month: September 2007
2008 Gitchee Gumee Brewfest
The 2008 Gitchee Gumee Brewfest held in Superior, WI is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, 2008. Yeah, okay, so this is MNBeer.com and I’m posting a Wisconsin event. Deal with it. Superior is close enough to the border to let this slide. Besides, it’s a good event and does have MN beers represented. My wife and I have gone the last couple of years and have enjoyed the event. In addition to many familiar breweries, you’ll find a few that we don’t normally see at MN beer fests or in MN bars and liquor stores. The event tends to draw a much larger college crowd than some of our local events, but it isn’t necessarily rowdy. All in all it’s a good time and well worth attending. We’d like to see a few familiar faces this year, if possible. Besides, I need a little back-up if/when the MN vs. WI fisticuffs erupt. It is a Sconie beer event, after all (my apologies to all those in the great state of Wisconsin…I love ya).
