I’m told that Sierra Nevada Bigfoot will be arriving at Preston’s on Thursday. Preston’s will be the first bar in Minneapolis (possibly MN) to receive Bigfoot. They’ll  be tapping the keg Thursday at 4pm.

Another Friday and another excuse to play hooky…. head over to Grumpy’s Downtown for a cask Rush River Winter Warmer and free appetizers (smoked brats and Italian sausage!). Yum.

On Friday, Jan. 29th at 4pm, Grumpy’s NE will be tapping a cask of Bell’s Hopslam paired with Spicy Thai lettuce wraps. Then on Wednesday, Feb. 3rd at 5:30pm, The Bulldog NE will be tapping another cask of Hopslam as well as a keg of 2008 Bell’s Expedition Stout.

These are the last 2 Hopslam casks in the Twin Cities until Firkin Fest!

Maybe you couldn’t make it to Ngon for their BLT & Crosscut lunch today, but what about tonight? What are you doing for happy hour/dinner?

Cured Meats & Happy Hour Drinks

The best way to deal with the cold is good beer, food, and friends. Nothing beats a cold night like snacking on appetizers, beers, and having lively conversations. Mention “Frogtown” for happy hour drink prices tonight.

Features tonight:

Charcuterie Plate: House made 5 spiced elk sausage, Wild Acres duck confit, apple wood smoked bacon cured with anise & fennel served with pickled farmers market vegetables

Arctic Char: Wild rice crusted arctic char, black rice, grilled asparagus, carrots, daikon, in a bacon trout bouillabaisse

Roasted Pork: Five spiced Fischer Farms pork shoulder with lemongrass, fried buckwheat, sprouts, tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, & scallions with a pork belly sauce

I’ll be behind the bar playing some reggae on vinyl to ward off the cold.

Cheers, Hai

As a reminder, Ngon has an all local tap selection and the happy hour pricing is $1 off.
