Muddy Pig Upcoming Events…. Festival of Hops

By on December 10, 2008in bars/restaurants, beer events

A few great events coming up at The Muddy Pig.

Beer Lovers,

We have a few events planned at The Muddy Pig:

Abbey of Maredsous Event. Wednesday, December 17 @ 5:00. We will have all three of their ales on tap; the Blonde 6, Dubbel 8 and Triple 10. Buy a Maredsous and keep the glass (limit one glass per customer).

Flat Earth Event. Monday, December 29 @ 5:00. We will be tapping up kegs of Flat Earth’s Black Helicopter coffee stout and their Winter Warlock English barley wine. Jeff Williamson, Mr. Flat Earth himself, will be here to answer all your questions about St. Paul’s newest brewery.

The 1st Annual Festival of Hops. Thursday, January 22 through Sunday, January 25. Our Belgian Beer Festival in September was so successful we decided to organize another beer event, this one devoted to hop forward beers. We will have 40+ hopped up beers (pale ales and up) on tap throughout the weekend and we hope to rotate through 55 or more different beers in four days.

Yes, this really is the most wonderful time of the year.

Free Flying Dog Glassware at Stub & Herb’s

Just when you thought December wouldn’t kill your liver…

Tuesday December 16th we are giving away some Flying Dog logo glassware at Stub and Herb’s. Come enjoy some K9 Winter ale or Barrel-Aged Gonzo Porter and walk out with the pint glass. We will have some other goodies to give away as well. K9 is our featured beer of the month which means you can get a pint and keep the glass for $3.50. Not too bad a deal if you ask me.

Mulled Old Man Winter Warmer at The Blue Nile

Thanks Al… If I can swing it, I may just have to roll over to The Blue Nile on the 20th…

Have a keg of Lake Superior’s Old Man Winter Warmer I’ve been saving for a year. Gonna tap on Saturday the 20th of December, the day before the Winter Solstice…first day of winter, officially…and I’m gonna Wassail it. Gonna mull it, gonna spice it. At least cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, and possibly some fruit.

This will be available on tap as well, but I’m just gonna take some back to the stove, toss on the goodies, and mull it up. These will be available in hot drink glasses, for a reasonable price.

One of my bartenders cussed me out for messing up a great beer, but you will have a choice that day, messd-up or non-messed up. But, I guarantee a good mess!

cheers,
al

P.S. It’ll start right at 4pm, when we open, so hopefully Town Hall pint club members and Sterb’s BA gathering goers an make it after or before.
