In case you missed our previous post on the event, here’s the skinny:
50+ firkins, tapped at noon on March 16th. $5 cover… firkins from Rush River, Bell’s, Victory, Surly, Summit, Schell’s, Rogue, Flat Earth and more.
It all takes place at The Happy Gnome. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! Watch their website for updates.
Yes, the spring issue of Twin Cities Imbiber is online now. Look for it in print shortly. Features include pieces on Rush River Brewing Co., a beer history piece, a spotlight on Dennis Brothers Liquors, brewing coffee at home, Ciroc Vodka and more.
Some good local news as well… here’s a tidbit… Summit Hefe Weizen will be returning to Minnesota this summer. It makes sense – after all, we can’t let those Chicago folks
Speaking of Summit…
Summit beers will be featured tonight at 7pm at The Happy Gnome. Brewery staff should be on hand and flights of Summit should be available throughout the evening.
Thanks to Dennis for the heads up…
Jon’s been talking about this for a bit, so it’s good to see it happening. With any luck, perhaps I’ll see you at the Stub & Herb’s next Wednesday.
Stub and Herb’s is kicking off it’s first of a series of monthly beer tastings. The event takes place on Wednesday Feb. 27 at 7:PM.
Stub’s will welcome Roger Lind of Sierra Nevada to talk briefly about Sierra and sample some of their fine brews (including this years Bigfoot on draft). We will then hold a brief discussion of a few beer styles and sample out what we have to offer at Stub’s.
The event is free to attend. Light appetizers will be complementary. Tasting glasses will be sold for $5 and will allow you access to all beers being sampled.
Thanks. I hope to see you there.

…no it’s not a new beer. It’s an old beer… a 1989 bronze medal winner at GABF in the Blond/Golden Ale category. I also ran across a mention of Summit Christmas Ale (the name that likely preceded Summit Winter Ale) in an 80s-era beer book at Half Price Books. I occasionally stop into the store during lunch breaks to check for copies of the Classic Beer Styles books.
Anyway, it’s a slow news day. Discuss. Did you ever drink this beer? What did you think?
