It must be greater Minnesota day here at MNBeer… I’m sipping a bit of McCann’s Prairie Porter and just remembered that Dave sent me Fitger’s list of beers for Winterfest. Here they are… there might be a surprise as well, but we’re not telling. They all sound good, though I’ll confess that I’m looking forward to wheat wine and the Blue Label Grand Reserve as I like the wine-barrel aged beers more than bourbon.
The list is below the fold… later this week we’ll share McCann’s offerings…
It’s times like these (sans this weekend’s arctic chill) that I wish I were in Duluth. Lake Superior Special Ale, a firkin, no less, and Hell’s Kitchen? I don’t think you can go wrong. Drink up, Duluth. I’ll be at home, nursing a bottle of Old Man Winter Warmer from 2005. 🙂
The details:
One firkin Lake Superior Special Ale, dry-hopped with Cascade hops. Hell’s Kitchen, Duluth. Tapped at 4pm, $3 pints until it’s gone. Tuesday January 22.
Have you tried the Surly Mild yet? I have to admit that I haven’t however I have a good excuse having been out of town for work for most of last week. That being said I have no excuse now and an extra incentive as this is the Beer of the Week over at Buster’s on 28th. If my memory serves me correctly that means $4 pints.
Finally!!! Acadia Cafe will be re-opening at their new location, 329 Cedar Ave. S, Minneapolis, this Wednesday, 1/23. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, it’s in the Seven Corners area a little bit South of Town Hall and just West of the U of M’s Carlson School. Kris and I are going to fall on a grenade and stop in that evening to help them work out the bugs with their taps. *Jeez* The things will do to support good beer in Minnesota. Hope to see you there.
It should come as no surprise that the Surly Anniversary Dinner sold out in a mere 32 hours. Cafe 28 asked me to let folks know that they’re taking names for a cancellation list: 612-926-2800. Good luck…
