Town Hall Beer Release: Fresh Hop 2007

By on September 20, 2007in beer events, brewpubs

This is one I always enjoy… Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery’s Fresh Hop. I thought about doing the same with a batch of homebrew, but my poor, poor Centennial hop bine only produced less than an ounce of hops… just not the same… My week is a little crazy and some of the MNBeer folks are meeting on the same night, so I’m hoping to find time to have some Fresh Hop. (I think it was at Autumn Brew Review last year, too…)

That’s right kids-
Our Fresh Hop 2007 will be released on Monday Sept 24, 5-6 pm release. We used 200lbs of Cascade hops this year…they were picked on wednesday and in our brewkettle Thursday morning at 9:38.(Those dudes @ Fedex really move!) If you want to know the real raw flavor of the American hop…..you have to try this beer!

Now these staggering numbers I just mentioned come at a cost, so expect your Fresh Hop to cost just a bit more……

Release 5-6 pm $3 rather than $2
Regular price pint $5 rather than $4
Growler price $12 refill rather $8
Growler new price $17 rather than $13

ALSO REMEMBER

Autumn Brew Review next Saturday…….We have tickets……Save yourself $5 per ticket……Buy them here when you stop in for Fesh Hop 2007.

Our Sunday brunch is rockin’ again! Each and every Sunday 9-noon. ONLY $10 and it includes your first Bloody Mary,Screwdriver, or Town Hall beer.

Cheers
Mike

…I know… it happens. In any case, our friends across the border, Rush River, will be bottling their Amber and IPA soon… good stuff. Now if only their brewery was in Minnesota… 😉 Also, Tyranena will find it’s way into the Twin Cities soon. Thanks to Ben for the gentle reminder. Here ends the postings from WIBeer… we now return you to MNBeer.com
