Good news! It’s not on Chris’ sight yet, (…er, yeah it is… dumb RSS feed…) but the red tape has been cut and McCann’s in St. Cloud has been approved to brew! Something tells me that Chris is probably brewing instead of blogging right now!

Holiday fun at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery
Tuesday of this week is Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery’s annual holiday fire and release of Festivus. Once again, it sounds like a tasty beer. Mike promises mulled ale as well. Last year, the crew heated up a batch of their Scotch ale with mulling spices. It was an interesting flavor – not something I cared for with the first sip, but it quickly grew on me. Hot spiced beer… who knew?
Happy Holidays All,
This coming Tuesday, December 18 marks the date of our annual holiday fire.5:00 pm we will release “Festivus 2007” this year the holiday brew is a Belgian Dark Ale aged on rich Belgian Dark Chocolate
5-7pm Gather around our warm holiday fire outside while you enjoy a nice warm mug of mulled ale. Our gift to you!
Can’t make it on Dec. 18????? Don’t worry we will release “1800” our classic English IPA on December 19…Release 5:00pm
