By on July 26, 2007in beer stores, breweries

More from Wisconsin…this time, Tyranena arrives in southern Minnesota. Thanks to Ben for passing along the info!

Tyranena Soon To Be In Minnesota. Our first Minnesota distributor is picking up an order on Friday. Schott Distributing will cover parts of southeastern Minnesota, including the counties of Fillmore, Houston, Mower, Winona, Olmsted, Dodge, Wabasha and Goodhue… that would mean such cities as Rochester, Winona, Austin, Rushford, and Wabasha. If you live in this area make sure to ask for the beer at your local store!

Hopefully this will lead to it’s availability in the rest of the state.

Introduction, Wisconsin beer in the Pioneer Press

By on July 25, 2007in beer laws, history

So I’m one of the guys that Ryan and Jeff were kind enough to let into their inner-circle of top secret sources for beer happenings around the Twin Cities. I like good beer and want to see more of it in Minnesota. I’ll do my best to live up to the high quality you all have to come to expect from MnBeer.com…

With that, there was an interesting article in the PiPress Tuesday about legislative battles over beer laws in Wisconsin. Sure, this is MNBeer.com, but it’s always good to keep tabs on our beer-swilling neighbors to the east. Maybe we can learn something from them.

Check it out here.
