In case you missed it last week, you have one more chance to enjoy Wassail Night on the ice (or maybe puddle?) patio at Great Waters. Besides the wassail, they’ll also be tapping a special cask. Last week it was Winterye Mix…you’ll have to stop down to see what treat they’ll be pulling out this week.

Flat Earth Brewery Tours
The tours over at Flat Earth are getting quite popular these days and with that you’ll now need a reservation if you’d like to take part in a tour. They’re working on online tour sign up, but in the meantime, just give ’em a call at 651-698-1945 to reserve a spot. Don’t forget to bring your ID and remember they will have growlers for sale afterward.
UPDATE – As of 3/11, both tours for March are full.
Cellars Beer Tasting
Jason from The Cellars in Eagan just sent word out that he has scheduled another beer tasting, for the last Saturday of March. They’ll have over 15 different brews for the tasting, including Snake River Zonker Stout, Boulder Flashback, Aecht UrBock Rauchbier and Summit Unchained # 3 Rye Ale.
And if you’re a Scotch drinker, mark your calendar for this Saturday, March 6th 2:00 – 4:00 pm when they’ll have 10 different scotches to sample, incuding ones where the bottle costs more than even a good night out drinking. Well…maybe that’s not quite true, there was that one night, but they will have some higher end bottles open to be sure.
