Changes at Thomas, FFF Beer Tasting

By on June 3, 2010in beer events, beer stores, free beer

St. Paul beer (and wine) haunt Thomas Liquors has made some improvements to their website, complete with section updates, events and tastings and recent arrivals. It’s still a work-in-progress, so check back often!

Thomas is also announcing Fitty’s First Fridays (Ha! You thought it was Three Floyds, didn’t you?!), when the first Friday of every month beer manager Joe “Fitty” Fitzpatrick takes over the tasting bar from 4-7pm for a night of craft brew. This week he’ll be cracking open some Unibroue beers, some of the best craft beers to come ooot of Canada, eh.

Abominable Release @Town Hall

By on June 2, 2010in beer events, brewpubs

I wish I could give you the back story on the name of the beer but I’m not that much in the know. All I can guess is that some of you might think it’s abominable to release a porter in June. Well, if that’s the case, all the more for me and the rest of the porter and coffee lovers out there.

Hey All,

Hope your weekend was grand, now you are all back at work and in need of a beer! We teamed up with Peace Coffee (the roasters just down the road) and made another coffee beer. You say Coffee Porter in June…?? Well, ever had an iced coffee in the summer?

We used the Yeti Cold Press Blend from Peace Coffee this time and are happy with the results. Swing in and get some today. Wednesday is “pick a pint”, that means all of our regular priced house made pints are just $2.50 from 5-6pm. Wow, that is cheap for quality craft beer….we do what we can for you guys-

Cheers
Mike
