Brew Brothers Brewing Co. update: Ring Neck Braun Ale
It’s Open Season!!! Most of our Ring Neck Braun Ale has been shipped. It’s our first Single Batch Series beer and we are very excited to get it out of our cooler and into yours! As with all of our SBS beers, it is an extremely small run (864 cases, 32 kegs). I miss the flexibility and freedom of brewing in a brewpub so this has been a blast, I’m already looking forward to Frame Straightener in Jan. 2008. We did reserve a small portion of the Ring Neck here at brewery so we will be able to handle some reorders. Now it’ss time to catch up around the brewery and maybe even have a beer. Take Care, Dustin
Minneapolis Town Hall update: Pint Club & Anniversary Week
Does anyone have $150 burning a hole and their pocket they’d like to spend on their good friends at MNBeer.com? (Yeah… riiiiight.)
Hey All,
Got some news for you. Just like everything else the cost of raw materials for making beer is sky-rocketing. I regret to say that in the near future we will have to increase our beer prices… slightly. We’ll hold off as long as we can, but it’s coming…Here is a chance to protect yourself from the price increase. Pint club memberships are now on sale through the end of the month… we will only sell 50.
Benefits for your lifetime membership include:
*Free First Growler
*.$75 off every pint of Town Hall Beer you purchase…even during happy hour! (A couple exceptions)
*Invitation to pint club reception each and every Saturday from 4-5 pm. TH beers are complimentary.
*Further discounts on special Town Hall events
*Invitation to “Members Only” pint club dinnersAll this for life… Just $150 (Simple math says that 4 pints per week will pay you back in just 1 year….and that is just on the .$75 discount).
Also check out the attatchment about anniversary week!
Cheers,
Mike

Saturday night party…
Okay, so it’s not your traditional Saturday night in MNBeer-land, but I’m going to share my Saturday night plans because I started this site, and dammit, I can.
Tomorrow night I’ll be working & hanging out at Hoigaard’s 3rd Annual Ski Fashion Party to benefit Children’s Cancer Research Fund. This event has consumed many of my office hours over the past week or so, and I’m glad that it’s finally coming to fruition (not to mention that I’ll get to move all of the silent auction goodies out of my office!). So, if you don’t have better plans and feel like throwing $45 at a good charity, come on down to Hoigaard’s at 7pm on Saturday. The food is by brix bistro & wine bar and there will be winter/ski fashion show, dj, dancing, give-aways and a huge silent auction. If you like ski & winter gear, this is the place my friends… silent auction items ranging from downhill ski packages to lift tickets to a 4-day trip to Moonlight Basin… hell, even an opportunity to brew with Jeff at Flat Earth Brewing Co. for a day. There are some other ways to win cool prizes as well… things like $50 at the Happy Gnome (x2, actually), Great Waters, etc., etc.
Did I mention bonfires and s’mores? 🙂 Now for full disclosure, the beer sponsor isn’t one of local craft breweries… we tried, but this weekend just happens to coincide with GABF, so as you can imagine, most of our Twin Cities friends are there. That being said, it’ll still be a good time. I’ll be busy, but it’s good work for a good cause, so if you don’t already have better plans and feel like throwing down $45, come on down… if not, please stop by about 1am as I will probably need a ride home! 😉
