I supposed we could list all these Grumpy’s Firkin Fridays in one post, but that would require a higher level of organization than we’re accustomed to! Anyway, the deets you’re looking for:
What: Firkin Friday at Grumpy’s Roseville
Which: Oak Aged Cynic
When: Right Now!
Gingerhop in NE Mpls welcomes Bell’s to the restaurant for a 5 course beer dinner, each course made with a Bell’s beer and paired with another. $40 per person plus tax and gratuity. Call 612-746-0304 to make your reservation.
Pracna on Main loves their sour beers, and we’re told they also love Goose Island. So…to tie these two things together, they’re welcoming Goose Island to the shop as they kick-off Minnesota Craft Beer Week with a night of very rare sour beer.
The Lineup:
On draft:
Indira: Lemongrass Saison
Lolita: Raspberry Wild Ale
Scully: White Pepper Strawberry Saison
Dominique: Barrel-Aged Sour
Wilder: Brett-Aged Wheat
In bottles: Madame Rose: Sour Brown Ale w/ Cherries
Flights will be available and some friends from Goose Island will be around to chat with. Potential food specials and other fun stuff may pop up. We’ll keep you updated!
Dumping these all into the calendar would be an exercise in futility (though we might do it if we don’t sit and enjoy these Alaskan samples, instead), but here’s the list of events that the Original Gravity folks have planned. Here’s what we have thus far… things may change:
Launch Week Events mapped out

Alaskan will be awarding some lucky individuals at various events throughout the week with:
-A bottle each: 2010 Smoked Porter, 2010 Barley Wine and Imperial IPA
-Seats to the Smoked Porter Vertical on Saturday, May 14th with Alaskan Brewing founder, Geoff Larson
-Tickets to 2011 City Pages Beer Fest
-A case of 2010 Smoked Porter and one case of 2010 Barley Wine
In addition to these great events, Geoff and Marcy Larson (The founders of Alaskan) will be in town for events around MN Craft Beer Week. Read on for complete details of Alaskan’s launch week in Minnesota.
I hope this works. Heritage is attempting to conjure up a little spring (if not summer) by sampling saisons. My fingers are crossed…
We all know what we’re getting ourselves into when we live in Minnesota…long winters. But even the hardiest of us have had enough this year. We’re gonna try to break the cycle by breaking out our favorite summer beer…Saison. We’ll have American and Belgian representations to compare and they’ll be 15% off during the tasting. Hopefully drinking some Saisons will convince Mother Nature it’s time to flip the switch on summer.
Our Thursday tastings run from 5-7PM.
