Ryan Anderson (that's me!) is the editor & founder of MNBeer. Much has changed since the fall of 2005 and I'm proud to have been a part of it all. Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

Muddy Pig/Happy Gnome Update

The 3rd annual Muddy Pig Golf Snouting is set for Tuesday, August 29. Oak Glen Golf Club in Stillwater will once again host this classic event with a noon shotgun start. The Snouting is a scramble format and players of all abilities (or no ability) are welcome. The price is $80 per person which includes range balls, green fees, cart, dinner at The Muddy Pig following the event and fabulous prizes. Registration forms are available at The Muddy Pig.

The Golf Snouting is a charitable event with proceeds going to The Children’s Crisis Nurseries of Ramsey, Washington and Dakota counties. Hole sponsorships are available for $250 which is a direct donation to the charity. We are also seeking items for door prizes, anything from smaller items like gift certificates to bigger prizes like a new car. Anything you can do would be appreciated. Contact Thea or Mark at The Muddy Pig if you can contribute. It’s for the children.

Big news at The Happy Gnome. We are now serving brunch on the patio Saturdays and Sundays from 11 to 3. Great patio, great food, great beer selection. And as a special bonus there is now live music on the patio on Sundays from 1 to 4. I guess we know where you’ll be this weekend.

Drink good beer,

Mark

Muddy Pig Gift Certificates Still Available from KFAN

Not long ago, I posted a link right here mentioning a great deal for a $50 gift certificate for the Muddy Pig for $25 through KFAN. We used ours with friends on Saturday night and now I’m having a hard time not ordering another.

We had a good time as always and had far too many tasty beers… Fantome Printemps, La Chouffe Houblon, He’brew Rye IIPA, Surly Furious, Rush River Bubblejack IPA, etc., etc. etc. We had good, knowledgeable service, too.

Dammit, now I’m going to have to order another one… good thing they still have around 65 left.

Town Hall Non-Beer-Release Beer-Release Wednesday

…or a very happy hour, if you will:

Helloooooo,
This coming Wednesday 8/9 we will feature a “U Pick’em” release. This means that any of our house taps will be at intro price from 5-6pm (Tripel will be $2 during that time). Why are we doing this you may ask?
We want to offer this to thank you for your understanding during our recent shut down in the brewery. (You know, the reason we ran out of all of our beer last week)
So stop in and have a glass of your favorite Town Hall Beer at intro price from 5-6 this coming Wednesday. Tap line should be full! Just promise me that you won’t drink it all……..pleeeezz
Cheers
Mike
