Head to The Muddy Pig next Wednesday, October 1st, at 5pm for their annual Oktoberfest celebration. Hacker-Pschorr is bringing a ceremonial keg of Oktoberfest, “like they use to kick off the real deal in Munich,” adds Mark. Buy a liter stein filled with Hacker-Pschorr beer for just $15 and keep the stein. Refills are only $10.

Rocktoberfest Kickoff
I rarely get to Rock Bottom, as I rarely get to downtown Minneapolis. But next Thursday I’m hitting a show at First Ave (Neko Case if you’re interested), and it’s coincidentally RB’s Rocktoberfest release party! Plus, I’ll finally be able to try their Catcher in the Rye and Saison (if they’re not gone), two of my favorite styles of late.
Rocktoberfest Kickoff!
Join Brewer Bryon Tonnis on Thursday, September 18 as we kick off another Oktoberfest season with the tapping of our Rocktoberfest Marzen Bier at 6pm
Stop by for a complimentary pint and “toast the fest” with Rock Bottom…PROST!
Hell on Tap
Linda over at Cafe 28 asked me to let you all know that they have added Surly Hell to their tap line up, joining Cynic and Furious.
Anyone else serving a little Hell yet?
