Wild beer and locally made, oak fermented kombucha….. MMmmmmmm…..
Tonight (May 17th) at Heritage Liquor, local Kombucha brewery Bryan Bertsch will share his St. locally made Kombucha – the hard tea popularized in Asia. Bryan ferments this kombucha in oak at his St. Paul based brewery.
Also being poured are a selection of traditional wild beers from Jolly Pumpkin (Michigan) and Hanssens (Belgium) along with a great farmhouse beer from Brasserie de Blaugies (Belgium). Copies of the just released 2nd edition of Lambicland (Tim Webb) will also be available to purchase at the event.

Tonight. Nomad Pub. 6-9pm. Bitter Brewer is one of my personal favorites from the Surly line-up. Yum. Moe’s Bender & Smoke on tap, too.
…and of course there’s a ton of stuff happening tonight (and the rest of the week) for Minnesota Craft Beer Week.
Lanny Hoff from Artisanal Imports will be doing a free sour ale blending seminar at Bulldog NE at 6pm on Monday, May 16 as part of their Sour Ale Fest May 16-17. He’ll be working with unblended old and new Cuvee de Jacobin and attendees will be tasting several different blends of the two, as well as the real finished product.
9 different sour ales from Belgium as well as American craft breweries will be available on tap.
If you find yourself on the other end of town but craving a firkin fix, check out Stanley’s. They’ll be tapping a firkin of oak-aged Forgotten Flem* from Brau Brothers. Plus, a Brau will, “be there talking smart with answers to everything you wanted to know about Lucan but were afraid to ask.”
*Forgotten Flem is a dry, hoppy, fruity Belgian Saison brewed with rye and 50+ IBUs of hoppy goodness.
