Brewhouse Beer Monks at Renaissance Festival Sat. & Sun.

By on August 21, 2009in beer events, brewpubs

Brother Hoops sent us beautiful message on parchment paper announcing that the Brewhouse Monks would be down at the Renaissance Festival, 20-sided dice in hand*, pouring Fitger’s finest at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this weekend from 11-5 on Saturday and Sunday. I can’t think of any better reasons to head over to the Renaissance Festival (aside from maybe Byggvir’s Big Beer Cup homebrew contest). Minnesota-made beer? Sounds like a winner to me!

*Slight apologies… perhaps I’m still bitter from being harrassed by women in peasant dresses in the skyway earler this week, but I still like to tease. Don’t get cranky… I’ve had drama-geek (whoops, there I go again) friends since high school and know that some of you secretly still play D & D and Shadowrun. You can make fun of my bicycle geekery if it makes you feel better. 🙂

Autumn Brew Review

By on August 19, 2009in beer events

I, for one, am looking forward to Autumn Brew Review. To be honest, It’s probably one of my favorite beer fests… a great mix of locals as well as some fun, out-of-state breweries. This year’s Autumn Brew Review will take place on Saturday, September 12th from 1-6pm (or noon-6pm if you have early access tickets) and will include food, music and of course a TON of good beer. It’s sold out… hopefully you scored tickets!
