Ty from Grumpy’s Downtown shot us a note to let us know that they’ll be tapping a cask of Bell’s Two Hearted on Friday at noon. Free apps… Hooky anyone?

Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

Summit EPA: World Beer Cup Gold
Congrats to Summit Brewing Co. who took home a gold in the World Beer Cup for Category 52: Classic English-Style Pale Ale for their Extra Pale Ale. It’s a great beer and they deserve the honors. I’ve got to imagine that this beer served as many Minnesotans’ introduction to hops. Cheers!
Leech Lake Brewing Company
We’re excited to announce another brewery project in Minnesota… Leech Lake Brewing Company. Greg, the company’s founder currently has a contractor hard at work improving and adding on to a building he purchased in Walker, MN. The plan is to start with a 3 BBL brewhouse purchased from a brewery in Mexico, he plans to brew multiple times per week to make up for the small size. Greg plans to plan to keg and bottle his beer in bombers, and will sell growlers from a tap room. More information will be available here as things come together. Cheers! With any luck, I’ll pay Greg a visit this summer and report back!
