Surly Draft Truck @Stub & Herb’s

By on July 29, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Wednesday, July 29th – debut of the Surly Draft Truck. Will be seen at all Gopher Home Football games, SurlyFest, select Vikings games (Green Bay – Monday night), Darkness Day, our parking lot, your neighborhood party.
See the draft truck in action Wednesday night at Stub & Herbs Bar at the U of MN. We are testing out its pouring capabilities. To entice you to come out, when you buy a Surly Beer for $5, you get a cheeseburger off the backyard grill. Hell Yeah, put that on the board. This deal lasts from 5-7 PM. Also, you can talk shit to Jon about his Southside White Sox. The bar manager – Jon – one of the first guys to puor our beer, likes the Sox. Stub & Herbs will also be raffling off a pair of Twins tickets. While that is going on, pick your favorite state brew, MN beers vs IL beers.

New Beer at Town Hall

By on July 22, 2009in beer events, brewpubs

Look for Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery‘s Sunrise Ale later this week. It is a Belgian Abbey Style Blonde ale. As Mike puts it, “Light, crisp and full of flavor. Great malt and Belgian yeast character…no hops here.”

And on Monday at 5pm, enjoy $2.50 pints of the next beer in their single hop series, Columbus Pale Ale, described as “not for the faint of heart… we used a ton of the American Columbus hop in this beer, and with the very light malt backbone of a Pale ale this beer really really is all about the hops.”

Sold. Mmm.
