Lift Bridge Harvestor Release Paaaaartaaaaay

By on October 11, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Lift Bridge is releasing their fresh hop IPA, Harvestor, on October 25th, 2009 from noon to 3.  Important note:  Harvestor has an umlaut over the “o.”  I don’t know how to type with an umlaut, so you’ll need to add that yourself when reading this (that is, if you know how to use diacritics).

The Happy Gnome is hosting this release party, apparently under a Happy Tent.  Happily the event is free.  For three happy dollars you get a ticket for a happy pint, or four tix for ten dollars for you big, happy spenders.

Blue Nile Anniversary Event Update

By on October 9, 2009in bars/restaurants

This is how sophisticated we’re getting; this is a post, about a previous post, wherein I’ll provide more details about beers previously discussed.  And it’ll be so seamless, it won’t feel awkward.  Will it?

Al’s recently provided a list (via Headtome or Visagescroll or something like that) of this weekend’s line-up.  This is the first weekend of the Blue Nile’s 20th Anniversary (link to event posted on MNBeer).

The lineup for this weekend: Surly Wet, Furious, Fest, Bender, Hell, and Coffee Bender, Flat Earth Mummy Train Pumpkin Ale, Bermuda Triangle Belgian Tripel, Element 115 California Common, and Black Helicopter Coffee Stout, Lake Superior Special Ale, Summit Horizon Red Ale, and August Schell 1905 VT, last in the Anniversary Series, with a cask firkin of Summit Oatmeal Stout dry-hopped with Fuggles. That’s more beers than we have taps, but some will have to wait in reserve, til a line opens up.
The line-ups for the next three weekends is still in play! Hope to see you!

**An updated comment from Al says to scratch Hell and Coffee Bender.
