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…

Cygnus in Bottles
Just saw that Flat Earth Brewing has recently released the Cygnus X-1 Porter in 22 ounce bottles. I got an email from Princeton Liquors that they have it (plus some other goodies), so I’m guessing others are getting it in too.
Thomas Liquors Tasting
Nice event coming up, sponsored by Thomas Liquors in St. Paul, to benefit St. Thomas More School (IHM-St. Luke’s). Sure, it says “jazz and wine,” but I got the inside scoop on some beer reps who will be pouring….
Jazz and Wine Benefit
Friday, February 1, 2008, at 340 Summit Ave
Limited to the first 375 people–Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.
We are selling tickets at Thomas Liquors
The beer guys that will be there are:
- Brad the Beer Guy from Chisago Lakes Distributing
- Jason Gillum from Bell’s Brewing
- Mike from Alcorn Distributing (Dark Horse, Tyranena, etc…)
They will all be pouring 5 – 7 beers as well as some special treats
There will be apps as well as 12 wine people sampling over 100 wines from all over the world.
Let me know if you have any other questions,

Thomas Liquors Update
In addition to the Tyranena tasting that Kris posted (January 18, 4pm – 6pm, at Thomas Liquors in St. Paul), Fitty alerted me to a bunch of new stuff they got in this week.
We just got a ton of HopSlam about an hour ago… and the price did NOT increase, $13.99. I also got a lot more new and old stuff that you’ll have to check out. eg. more Black Hole, Haand Dark Force, Orkney Reserve, Brasserie Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux and others. Hope to see you soon!
Cheers,

No More Surly Tours Until Spring
I’ll take the lack of access in exchange for more beer. From the Surly MySpace page:
NO TOURS UNTIL SPRING 2008! We are cutting out the floors, taking walls down and adding 6 more brewing tanks. Because of all the construction, we will not be having any tours until the Spring of 08. That means no group tours or private tours. Sorry folks.
