Bell’s Fermented Eclipse at Stub & Herb’s

By on March 30, 2010in bars/restaurants, beer events

More fun from the folks at Stub & Herb’s… On June 26th from 3-10 they are doing a festival with Bell’s, “The Fermented Eclipse.”  During the event, they will be doing special releases of different Bell’s products throughout the night as well as having a Bell’s brewer run a game of bar trivia.  The winning team will walk away with a year supply of Bell’s!  They will be tenting off the parking lot and will have a live performance by a major local band that evening.  Jon also has some Expedition Stout Barrels that they will be chopping up and throwing in a smoker for bbqing chickens.  The Bell’s beer trailer will be parked outside and beer will be flowing.  They will only be pouring BIG beers from Bell’s that night.  The lineup includes:  Batch 9000, Black Note, Bourbon-Barrel Hell Hath No Fury, Oatmeal Stout (1st time tapped in MN), and 3 other special taps that are apparently secret thus far.  Also look for Expedition Stout, Cherry Stout, Double Cream, Kalamazoo and Rye Stout  on tap.  This should be the biggest collection of big beers from Bell’s ever assembled and tapped in the middle of the summertime!

Lagunitas 420 Party at Stub & Herb’s

Duuuuuuuuuuudddddeeeeee!

Stub & Herb’s is doing a 420 party with Lagunitas.  It will obviously take place on April 20th starting at 7PM.  All Lagunita’s drafts will be $3.50 during the promo.  They’ll be putting smoke machines in Stub’s and will be providing free “munchies” and have come up with some pretty cool appetizer “bluntz.”  Stub’s will be giving away “Beer Bongs” and have a night of Reefer inspired Madness going on.

All legal. 🙂
