You’ve survived Monday, yet Hump Day looms on the horizon. Put your worries aside and drink up without dipping too deep into the beer budget.
If you’re in the mood to drink in the company of others, check out Rock Bottom for their Big Ass Beer Night: $6.95/23 oz, keep the glass and refills are only $3.95. Or if you’re in the vicinity of Pizza Luce (downtown), they’ve got $3 pints of Summit.
If you’d prefer to do your drinking at home, pop in at your nearest Granite City for $5 growler fills.
Congrats to Juno for submitting the favored toast for Minnesota Craft Beer Week:
O’ beer, craft beer
to my heart so dear
raise a glass and cheer
to Minnesota beer.
For Acadia Cafe’s Beer & Beast this month, they’ll be serving up a cask of Summit Horizon Red Ale dry-hopped with Glacier, and paired with a spiced shish kabob. Mmmmmmm…
$3/pint or $10 for the beer AND the beast
Surly Mild is a wonderful thing to behold, but as it holds a place in their seasonal line-up, the time to behold it is winding down. If you’re a Mild lover, you might want to check out Downtime Bar & Grill on the U of M campus. They’ll be serving up their last kegs of Mild for $3/pint, plus a sample of cask Furious with any Surly purchase.
Other notes:
1) There is a $5 cover as they have live music so consider yourself warned.
2) If drinking beer makes you hungry, Aaron Landry says they make pretty good ‘za.
Anytime is a good time to stop in at Common Roots Cafe for a beer, especially Fridays in May, when they’ll be hosting MN brewers Surly, Brau and Fulton.
May 7 – Surly Brewing
The Surly crew will be in and five of their beers will be available: Cynic, Furious, Abrasive, Schadenfreude and a firkin of oak-aged dry hopped Cynic.
May 21 – Brau Bros
Dustin Brau will be in town debuting their take on the black & tan – The Black Sheep. It’s a mix of their Cream Stout and SheepHead Ale.
May 28 – Fulton
The Fulton guys will be stopping by. Check back for details on what beers will be poured. The good word has been spoken – it’ll be a cask of IPA double dry-hopped with Glacier.
