Practoberfest
In the German spirit, the folks at Pracna on Main are having a little Oktoberfest celebration down on the river. The normal Minneapolis Oktoberfest will be held across the street this coming weekend (Sept 10-12th), so Pracna will be having some food and beer specials running also. Call it…Practoberfest! Starting Friday, the 10th, at 4pm they will have Oktoberfest and Harvest beer flights as well as traditional German food specials. The beer flights will be $7 ($6 on the daily 9-11pm happy hour) for 3 6oz brews. The Oktoberfest flights will include Shiner Oktoberfest, Bell’s Octoberfest, Lefthand Oktoberfest, Flying Dog Dogtoberfest, Widmer Okto, and Avery The Kaiser Imperial Oktoberfest. Harvest flights will include Rogue John John Hazelnut, Goose Island Harvest, Southern Tier Harvest, Southern Tier Pumking, New Holland Ichabod and Capital Autumnal Fire. When one keg runs out, they tap a new one, so each day should bring new beer! Food specials will include a Polish Reuben, Pretzels w/ a spicy cheese or homemade beer mustard, a Polish sausage and a Brat basket. Those who follow Pracna on Twitter and Facebook will also find out about other specials running during the weekend. Their normal 9-11pm happy hour will run each night and all of the specialty beers (excluding the Avery Kaiser) will be included.
Breakfast With the Braus!
If you are heading down to ABR come down a little early and have breakfast with the Brau Family! The NE Social Club (359 13th Avenue Northeast Minneapolis, MN 55413) is only a short 5 block walk away from the entrance of ABR and they will be serving up a family style beer breakfast hosted by the Brau Family! There will be 4 beers paired with a traditional breakfast with a twist. And it’s only $20!! Tickets and menu will be available soon at NE Social Club!

Pillage the Village
Summit is sponsoring a pub crawl through Stadium Village on Friday, Sept. 17. Five bars have teamed up to do the crawl and will all feature $2 Summit drafts all day. The only catch is you have to buy a souvenir Summit mug for $1 to get the deal. Participating bars are Stub & Herb’s, Campus Pizza, Sally’s, Big Ten and Applebee’s. Stub’s is planning on having at least 5 Summits to choose from and will have a cask of the Belgian Golden (the cask will not be included on the $2 special unfortunately).
