[POSTPONED] Impossible Beer Challenge: Cantilion Rose de Gambrinus, Boon Traditional Gueze

POSTPONED:  Just received word from Brad that this event is POSTPONED due to a last minute conflict at the Gnome. Will post again when it is rescheduled.  -TruthBrew 10/27/09 4:15pm

Brad Beerguy is having a head to head competition of two beers he says are “basically impossible to get” at The Happy Gnome in St. Paul on Oct 27th. The event will be from 6-10 pm and have two traditional Belgian Lambics on draft. The first is the famed Cantilion Rose De Gambrinus and the second is the last of the true Lambics from Boon Tradtional Gueze – no fruit, pours like a chardonay, expected to age out for at least ten years. The beers will be offered in single 5oz pours or as a pour of each with a fruit plate and chocolate selection. Denny Johnson of Chisago Lakes and Brad Beerguy will be in attendance. Brad says “This will be the most UNIQUE TRUE LAMBIC DRAFT OFFERING of Belgian sours to happen in Minnesota all year. Period.”

Only MN Beers on Tap… (No crap)

Help me with a quick list… What bars/restaurants in the state serve only Minnesota-made beer? (Yes, we’ll include Crispin cider and, yes we’ll include Rush River. No arguments.)

Common Roots Cafe

Moto-I

Ngon Vietnamese Bistro

Sea Salt (thanks Moe!)

Anyone else?
