If you don’t have plans for the weekend and are up for braving that which is RiverCentre, you might want to check out The Guy Expo. There will be plenty of guy related stuff, including things for your man cave, but most importantly there will be BEER.

You can participate in the Beer-a-thon contest by sampling all of the following ($5 for 6 2-oz samples) and voting for your favorite to claim the title of The Guy Expo’s MN Beer of the Year.
Schell’s Firebrick, Hefeweizen, Dark, Zommerfest
Steamworks Steam Engine & Conductor
Guinness 250th Anniversary
Fat Tire KEG
Summit Oktoberfest, EPA, Red Horizon
Leine’s Creamy Dark & Summer Shanty

If you’re still thirsty there will be an Augtoberfest beer garden where you can purchase full size servings of the above Summit, Leine’s and Steamworks beers.

There will also be a chance to win free beer for a year and for the ladies, a Miss Guy Expo 2009 contest.

Friday, August 7 3:00 -8:00 pm

Horny Toad Pale Ale – Enrich your senses with this hop heavy pale ale. Traditional West Coast hoppy beer. Catch it!

Capital Hill Pilsner – Crisp and spicy with traditional Saaz hops from the Czech Republic. This light colored pilsner is perfect for the hot summer weather that must show up eventually.

Coffee Stout – Nearly black, this stout has the added flavor of a coffee malt added to the grain bill. Not sharp like many coffee beers with actual coffee added, this is more a subtle addition then a smack to the palate.
