Catcher in the Rye Tapping
Stop by Rock Bottom Wednesday, August 13 at 6:00 pm for the tapping of their Catcher in the Rye Pale Ale.
For all you baseball fans, Minnesota Twin’s catcher Mike Redmond will be on hand to help brewer Byron Tonnis pour the first pints and will stick around to sign autographs until 7:00.
In case you’re wondering about the beer, Catcher in the Rye is made with 20% flaked rye and designed to start out smooth and malty yet finish with the hops an American Pale Ale should.
Flat Earth August Updates
Greetings,
We will be officially releasing Ovni Ale at Acadia Café (329 Cedar Ave. S. in Minneapolis) on Wednesday the 6th from 6 – 9 p.m. They’ll have special pricing on our biere de garde and other Flat Earth beers. We’ll be heading down to give away some swag and have a few pints. See you there!
Also look for Convention Ale to hit stores this week. We created a special beer for the upcoming conventions. We took a little from column A and some from column B and something from off the chart to make this Belgian Red ale. So, vote early and drink often!
We’ll be at the Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison, WI on the 9th and we’re bringing Cygnus X-1, Bermuda Triangle, Black Helicopter, Rode Haring, Element 115 and a double dry hoped Angry Planet for the cask tent. Stop by and say “Hi” if you’ve managed to score tickets.
Black Earth will be available at the Renfest this year. Created at last year’s festival, it is a mix of Guinness and Belgian Pale Ale. The Renaissance Festival starts on the 16th and runs every weekend through the end of September. Belgian pale ale will be available at The Foaming Stein, Royal, King’s Pub and near the Blue Lion Tent.
We will be doing a special beer tasting at the Renfest on the 23 & 24th during the Highland Fling weekend.
Tickets go on sale for Autumn Beer Review on the 15th (www.mncraftbrew.org/abr/)
Our brewery tour this month will be held on Saturday August 30th at 4 p.m.
Growlers sales every Thursday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Cheers!
