Pracna on Ma… er Halloween

By on October 30, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Visit Pracna on Main Saturday for some devilishly good fun… read on…

  • Tapping Surly Darkness and Southern Tier Pumking Saturday morning.
  • Until supplies run out, they’ll be giving away a free Duvel glass with every bottle of Duvel purchased. Duvel is Flemish for Devil, by the way.
  • Happy Hour will be running as usual from 9pm-11pm. $3 for most of the micros/domestics on tap, which includes the Pumking, Victory’s Storm King Stout, Moylan’s Double Kilt Lifter, and many others. Sadly, Darkness won’t be offered on HH.

Finding Fulton

Can’t make it to Fulton’s release party Wednesday night? Hoping to win the title of biggest fan? Either way, here are some more places you can catch up with the Fulton brewers this week.

Acadia Cafe, 4-7 p.m. Thursday (during happy hour)
Stub & Herb’s 6 p.m.-ish Saturday (CORRECTED: AFTER the Gopher game’s kick-off)

Or if you just want to get a taste of their brew, it should be on tap The Happy Gnome, The Muddy Pig, Stub & Herb’s, Acadia Cafe, Bryant lake Bowl, Edina Grill and 3 Squares.

Where is Darkness

By on October 27, 2009in bars/restaurants, breweries

*edit*

Surly is reporting that Darkness is hitting bars this week, and liquor stores in bottles the week of Nov 2. They also noted that “because delivery dates are so varied to liquor stores, they are not going to post a list of stores that are getting the beer delivered.”

While this thread is going on over at BA, I thought I’d spread the good word to MnBeer-ers. (Don’t you love to have to check two websites to check now?! Like you weren’t already….)

Besides in bottles in my basement, which fine drinking establishments will be serving Darkness over the coming weeks?

On tap now:

Coming up:

We’ll do our best to keep adding to the list as they come in. Liquor stores, feel free to chime in as you learn your fate.
