I thought we mentioned this or at least alluded to it before, but in case you didn’t know, look for Surly Bitter Brewer in cans.
Update: April 14th release at Madcappers in Stillwater.

Summit Oatmeal Stout…cans
Here’s a new one for Minnesota, a locally-produced beer in cans with widgets. The beer, set for a fall release, will bring the much-loved Summit Oatmeal Stout from the tap to your refrigerator. I’m told that the test-cans are working quite well and hold up nicely side-by-side compared to the nitro-pushed version. I’m begging for samples, but I suspect I’ll be waiting. This sort of explains why the Oatmeal Stout glasses they’re selling at the brewery are so big. A release party at Summit is slated for September.
Gluek is once again Cold Spring Brewery
History repeats itself. Sort of… After about a ten year hiatus, Cold Spring Brewery is back. Gluek beer is still being produced, but the company has decided to change its name to Cold Spring Brewery Chairman to “reflects the company’s strong connection to the Cold Spring, Minnesota, community and the company’s new line of craft beers.” according to CEO John Lenore. (Star Tribune). The new Cold Spring beers are to be released today as well, including Cold Spring Pale Ale, Moonlight Ale (half porter, half bock), Ebony Wheat and Honey Almond Weiss.
