The Week Before Christmas at Rock Bottom

By on December 16, 2010in beer dinners, beer events, brewpubs

The week leading up to Christmas is going to be a good one at Rock Bottom. It starts off Tuesday, which is also the Winter Solstice. Be there at the exact time of the Winter Solstice and get an exclusive free taste of their latest creation.

On Wednesday they’re offering a five course holiday brewer’s dinner for $50/person (includes tax and gratuity). Call 612-332-2739 to reserve your seat.

They wrap up the festivities on Thursday with a tapping of Belgian Tripel, described as a Golden Belgian Style Ale with hints of pear and banana dominating the nose while a slight spiciness dominates the finish. Beware though, it may go down smooth and warm your belly but at 8.7% ABV it might do other things to you as well. Be on hand at 6:00 to receive a free glass.
