This sounds rad… guys, sit this one out, ladies… have at it! The new Twin Cities chapter of Barley’s Angels is having their first meeting at The Muddy Pig on June 30th. The plan is to have a couple pints, chat it up and decide the focus for the next few months.

Barley’s Angels is a growing collection of individual chapters around the world that work with craft-beer focused breweries, brewpubs, restaurants, alehouses and other public beer establishments to advance the female consumer craft beer enthusiast, resulting in increased patronage and revenue from women, while encouraging education and interest in beer among this often under-recognized demographic group.

Going on since Wednesday, the seventh installment of Al’s Belgian beer extravaganza at the Blue Nile.

*Hop-Ruiter, a new golden ale/ IPA hybrid from DeScheldebrouwerij
*Timmermans Framboise raspberry lambic
*Echte Kriek, Flanders Red with cherries, from the brewers of Duchesse du Bourgogne
*Glazen Toren Saison d’erpe-mere
*Moinette Brune, from Brasserie Dupont
*Pauwel Kwak amber, Bosteels
singly, or in sample sets, as always!
They last til they run out, but we have other Belgians waiting to replace them.

To celebrate Summit’s newest beer in their Unchained Series, they are having a series of release parties.

Tuesday, July 12 Grumpy’s Downtown

Wednesday, July 13 Stub & Herb’s AND Sally’s Saloon & Eatery (they’re at the same time so you’ll have to play favorites)

Friday, July 15 Tiffany’s Sports Lounge AND Fabulous Fern’s (this time the parties are back to back so you could hit both)
