braubrothers.jpgIf only I weren’t working this weekend, a visit to Brau Brothers in Lucan would surely be enticing. Dustin doesn’t mention it below, but Chris Laumb’s (McCann’s) band, Cannery Row is playing as well. Read on…

Hey everyone, just a quick note from Lucan. For everyone not heading to Denver this weekend, you’re invited to take an equally exciting trip to Lucan! This Saturday we’re opening up the brewery for our first annual Hop Fest. Beer, food, and live music. All beers will be on tap as well as Ring Neck Braun and several casks. No entry fee, just show up and be ready to BS. We’ll open the gates at 1 pm and close them at 8 pm. If you haven’t been out, this is a good excuse to see lovely southwest Minnesota! If you have any questions, just call or email me at the brewery. ~ Dustin

Because we need more opportunities to drink good beer and hang out with brewers this week….

The Muddy Pig joins the ranks of those holding special events leading up to ABR tomorrow. They welcome John Haggerty, former brewer at Minneapolis Town Hall and now brewmaster at New Holland Brewing Company to the Pig tonight at 5:00.  John will be available to answer your questions about beer, brewing, New Holland and the beer business in general.  Mark sez: “Start you weekend right with a cold New Holland beer and great conversation with one of the craft beer industry’s real talents.”
