End your weekend with a bang! Not enough beer was drunk yesterday at the Firkin Fest at The Hanger Room so for a mere $10, starting at noon today, you can drink your fill. Head on down and do your part to make sure those firkins get emptied.
The Hanger Room
310 Stillwater Road, Willernie
Star Wars, bagpipes, Pedal Pub and ribbons…..yes it’s the Four Firkins Grand Opening Ceremony.
Oh, and there’s beer. Samples from local brewers Summit, Schell’s, Brau Brothers, Fulton, Lift Bridge, Flat Earth, Dave’s Brew Farm and Steel Toe, pours from a six liter bottle of St. Feuillien Tripel and samples of Deus.
The rough schedule (so far) includes:
6:00pm: Ribbon cutting ceremony with Twin West Chamber of Commerce.
6:05pm: Inside for very loud rousing music (Star Wars) and inspiring speeches with free samples of Deus.
6:10pm: Dennis Skrade will play a couple of tunes on his Bagpipes from the center of the “Abbey Register” as the free samples begin to flow.
6:10pm: Brewers and brewery owners in attendance will include: Summit, Schell’s, Brau Brothers, Fulton, Lift Bridge, Flat Earth, Dave’s Brew Farm and Steel Toe. They will be here to pour free samples and join in the celebration.
6:10pm: Lanny Hoff, Minnesota’s only Beer Knight and owner of Artisanal Imports will be here with a six liter bottle of St. Feuillien Tripel which we will sample out and then everyone can sign the bottle.
6:15pm: Al Boyce and his mates will be here with the Pedal Pub which will be giving free rides to Steel Toe Brewery and back.
Note: due to the anticipated large turnout for this event we will have I.D. checkers stationed at both entrances. Nobody under 21 years of age will be permitted. Sorry, no children or infants either, it will be too crowded.
Hop heads, mark your calendars. From Rock Bottom assistant brewer Pete Mack comes a double IPA brewed with pale and crystal malts, then dry hopped with Crystal and Centennial hops. At 8.8% ABV this should pack a couple of punches.
Rock Bottom releases their third beer in three weeks, Winter Wheat. A strong Belgian style wheat beer spiced with cinnamon, mace, coriander and sweet orange peel, this tapping will also be for a good cause. A portion of each pint sold will be donated to The Advocates for Human Rights.
This week at Heritage, Fulton!
You’ve seen it around town on tap and now Minneapolis’ own Fulton is releasing 2 of their beers in package form so you can take it home with you. We now have Fulton Sweet Child of Vine IPA and Lonely Blonde American Blonde Ale in stock.
And for this week’s Thursday Tasting on the 27th from 5-7PM, we’re excited to have one of the owners of Fulton, Brian Hoffman, in-store to pour you some samples and talk beer. Buy local!!!
