Between the Bluffs Beer, Wine & Cheese Festival

By on February 8, 2009in beer events, breweries, general beer

Thanks to Sharon for passing this along.  The Between the Bluffs Beer, Wine & Cheese Festival, held just across our borders with WI in La Crosse, is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2009 from 2 to 6 P.M.  They currently have no breweries listed as attending on their site; however, last year MN breweries August Schell, Gluek and Mantorville were in attendance.

Now our legal disclaimer – The listing of previously attending breweries is no indication that said breweries will be in attendance this year.

Now my obligatory statement that will make Dave Berg mad at me : )  Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t stouts made with whatever is left over in the bottom of the brew kettle?

Surly firkin at Groveland Tap

By on February 5, 2009in beer events

Make your Valentine’s Day extra special and treat yourself to a firkin of Surly at Groveland Tap! It will be tapped at 6:00 pm and is rumored to be a firkin of dry hopped Furious.

In addition, starting at 11:00 am, there will be specials on Victory Hop Wallop and Bell’s Hopslam (or some equally hoppy brew if it runs out) PLUS movies! They’ll be showing The Big Lewboski, Spinal Tap, Slap Shot, The Great Escape and Blues Brothers.
