Have you ever heard of the Brookston Beer Bulletin? Yeah, me neither. Regardless, they’ve compiled one of those end-of-the-year must haves, a top ten list.
According to author Jay Brooks, the 10 most important and influential breweries that began within the last ten years, belong mostly to the West Coast, but our very own Surly Brewing got awarded #6. Here’s the full article and list.
Hi,
Check out that picture at the top. We had famous local artist Terrence Fogarty at the Blessing of the Maibock this year and this is his finished product. We had a limited 100 of these prints made and are now selling them. The first 25 are at the brewery, so swing in and check out the original in the bar and by your piece of Town Hall history today. There is talk of a series and this is the first……(they are signed and numbered).
Beer release Monday 5-6pm, check out “Alter Ego”. This is the creation of young brewer Adam after discovering this beer style while attending brewing school in Germany. “Alter Ego” is a Stikke Alt beer, this is a special alt made by breweries once a year that is stronger in alcohol and hops. This classic beer will be added to our Thanksgiving holiday pack in place of “ODIN” on Monday….you really hit the Odin harder than I thought you would! So come in Monday and try our “Special Alt” beer and get your holiday growler pack for Turkey day.
If I don’t see you have a great holiday-
Mike
Hey, we’re alliterative! All three beers in growlers start with an H. Harley’s Pumpkin Ale, Helles (Munich), and our Highlander Scotch Ale – newly added today.
If you’re free this Saturday and didn’t get signed up for Great Water’s B.E.E.R. trip, here’s your chance!
Due to a cancellation, two tickets for this weekend’s B.E.E.R trip are available. It will be a full day of beer related fun for only $65…$55 for MBA members. Call GW if you’re interested. 651-224-2739
Noon Update – There’s only 1 ticket left now.
Ngon Bistro has just put a new cask on. It won’t last long so if you’re a fan, or haven’t yet had a chance to try Lift Bridge’s Chestnut Hill, get over there soon.
Chestnut Hill is a brown ale, naturally carbonated in the firkin and aged with toasted almonds, hazelnuts and pecans. Yum, nuts!
