Alvey from The Four Firkins had warned me that it was coming, but I was still surprised to see his mug on the cover of Lavender yesterday. Here’s a link to a great article.

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

Lift Bridge Farm Girl at Stub & Herb’s
Jon over at Stub & Herb’s says he’ll be getting some Farm Girl saison from Lift Bridge Brewery on Sept. 4th. I’m assuming that this is a result of batch 0, brewed at Flat Earth in St. Paul. Should be good. Very fresh and tasty.
If the thirsty regulars at Stub & Herb’s drink it all, fear not as the guys from Lift Bridge plan on being at Autumn Brew Review, too.
Swag
We’ve got swag! You can buy glasses at Autumn Brew Review and Alvey at The Four Firkins has a case as well. Openers are free. The plan is to move on up to something fancier once these glasses go. Drink up!
