Yes, the St. Paul Homebrewer’s Club will be hosting another “big brew” outside of Northern Brewer on Sunday as part of Grand Old Day.

Yup. City Pages Beer Festival starts at 5:00pm tonight. Anyone going?

City Pages Beer Festival, now in its 14th year, is one of the largest beer festivals in the upper Midwest! The festival features over 100 different beers, food and fun!

Admission includes all beer samples!
Must be 21 or older to participate in tasting.

$25 advance – $28 at the door – $8 designated driver ticket

Yes, here it is in all of its glory, our first award & a matching window cling. Apparently, one can place the window cling in a window, be spotted by undercover City Pages agents and be entered into a drawing to win a year of free advertising. Of course since MNBeer.com is more of a virtual outfit, I have no choice but to encourage the City Pages agents to drive by my house, or, at the very least, accept the above photo as proof that the cling is indeed posted in our “place of business.”

As much as we might joke about things, it is an honor, and we fully expect that next year we’ll be considered for “best villian.”

Pssst… Coffee Bender (Surly), Blue Nile… probably gone before the weekend…

We’ve begun planning for version 2.0 of MNBeer. We have a few ideas and tricks up our sleeves as well as plans for making use of a more robust CMS. We’ve had a few requests for a forum/bb as well as expansion of the MNTaps section to include at least some of the bars serving great beers in Minnesota. What do you think? What would you like to see added to MNBeer?
