Flat Earth Update

Check out the latest from Flat Earth

Greetings true believers,

June was a crazy month for us! We finally received our labels and we’ve been pushing beer out the door ever since. It will take us a few more weeks to get caught up so you should see our beers returning soon to the shelves of your favorite store.

Growler sales have been awesome so stop in at the brewery and grab some. We usually have 4-5 varieties always available including seasonals and Curly Tail which is on tap at all St. Paul Saints home games. Sale dates are at the brewery every Thursday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m..

We are back at the Taste of Minnesota this year! Look for the Belgian pale ale and Element 115 to be available for the 4-day (July 3-6) festival on Harriet Island.

Elite Brands Distribution of Michigan made us an offer we just couldn’t refuse. Cases of Belgian pale ale, Element 115 and Angry Planet are now on their way to Michigan, Ohio and Colorado. Start looking for Flat Earth around Kalamazoo, Columbus and Denver!

Look for the release sometime in mid-July of our new seasonal beer Ovni Ale, a French style biere de garde. Ovni is French slang for “flying saucer” and we had a lot of fun creating the design for the label. It is a wonderfully malty amber French farmhouse ale fermented with our house lager yeast and aged for a couple of months for a smooth yet hearty ale. Don’t miss it.

Other Flat Earth events this July include the Haskell’s Beer cruise on the 15th. Then it’s off to Clayton, WI for the 16th annual Clayton Lions beerfest. The next tour is July 26th at 4 p.m. We hope to see you soon!

Cheers!
Jeff & Cathie Williamson

Do your patriotic duty

Head on over to Town Hall Monday, June 30 for the release of the third in their “Red, White and Blue” series, an American Blueberry Wheat going by the name of “Pursuit of Happiness.”

If like me, you missed out on the “Life” (red) and “Liberty” (white) releases, don’t despair. Wednesday, July 2 through Monday, July 7 (while supplies last) you’ll have the opportunity to purchase a set of “Red, White and Blue” growlers for $24. Please note that you must purchase all three and this is good for exchanges only. (Although if you only have two growlers to turn in the generous folks at TH are willing to compromise and do this for $27.50.)

Surly Open – A Recap

For those of you that weren’t able to enjoy the 2nd Annual Surly Open first hand, here’s their recap of the day.

Jun 21, 2008
Surly Nation represented well today. Over 150 came out to play the Surly Open. The summer sostice treated us well with clear blue skies on this first day of summer. Some new faces were in the crowd playing today, along with some old ones, which we got to know better. Photos will be posted soon and I wanted to so thanks to all the sponsors that made the Surly Open a great day.

One more thing, Surly doesn’t send any beer to Iowa, but all the folks from the Surly Open are sending $1000 to the Red Cross for disaster relief in Iowa.
