You know the drill. Be a good beer drinker and help out Stub & Herb’s tonight. Drink the Bells Oarsman. They’re sure to replace it with something equally yummy and in the meantime, it’s a pretty cheap way to spend a Thursday evening.

1st Annual St. Arnoldus Day Bike Pub Crawl
To celebrate the Patron Saint of Belgian Beer, Lanny from Artisanal Imports is leading a bike pub crawl!
Meet at the Bulldog, Lyndale at 1:00 to start and then onward to the Muddy Pig in St. Paul by about 2:30 and finishing up across the river at The Blue Nile at about 4:00. Bonus stops are not outside the realm of possibility.
They’ll be giving away some swag and sharing some good Belgian beer action. Lanny will be talking smart at every turn and doing his best to entertain. Prizes for the most Belgian-y bike.
Contact Lanny at lhoff@artisanalimports.com with any questions.
Meet Senior Brewer John Hall from Goose Island
John J. Hall, son of founder John Hall and the Senior Brewer from Goose Island is making a few stops in the Twin Cities this week to chat about anything beer and anything Goose Island.
West: Head over to The Four Firkins tonight (that’d be Thursday) between 4-6pm for a sampling with John from Goose Island.
We’ll have free samples of Matilda, Pere Jacques, Sofie, Demolition and Fleur for you to try.
East: Head over to Heritage Liquors on Friday from 5-7pm. (Check out Frank’s blog post.)
As homebrewers ourselves, we’re excited to be able to talk with the guy who makes Bourbon County Stout. We’ll also be sampling some Goose Island brews, hopefully including a few special ones.
…or you could do both… some of you, I suspect, will…
