Town Hall Holiday Fire Tonight

By on December 18, 2012in beer events, brewpubs, free beer

Tonight is Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery’s annual holiday fire from 5-7pm. If you’ve never taken part, there’s no time like the present. Every year they have a fire on the patio and share complimentary mulled ale that pairs well with their special releases, including:

Grinch’s Grog – 5.8% Simcoe-heavy oatmeal pale ale

Elves’ Elixir – 9.6% Baltic Porter

Festivus – 5.8% Dark Wheat beer made with Belgian chocolate and bananas

All of these holiday beers will feature an intro price on the day of release from 5-6pm. Growlers will be available and just in time for the holidays, you can buy me a holiday growler pack… buy 3 growlers, save $1 on each or buy 6 growlers and save $2 on each!

Borealis Fermentery is holding a Holiday Pointed Gnome Hat Party starting at 8pm at Beaner’s Central in West Duluth.

Music will be provided by Jason Wussow and Friends, Bluegrass band Black River Review, interim music by Borealis’ band – pointed hats on pointed heads.

They’ll be sampling  few new brews, too. For the hop lovers among you, check out Homdinger- a Belgian style amberish hoppy ale. Inspired by some of their dear Dutch friends who don’t celebrate Christmas, they’ll be serving up Cinderclaws – a darker holiday brew crafted from maple sugar and star anise. $10 cover.

Fulton Worthy Adversary Release Saturday

Fulton Brewing Co.

This was the first Fulton beer I ever tried – in the back room of The Four Firkins, provided to the staff as a sample of a product for a brewery that had yet to launch… fast forward to today and they’re selling beer, expanding distribution and have a killer taproom not far from the Minnesota Twins’ ballpark.

In any case, Fulton will be releasing Worthy Adversary Saturday starting at noon at the brewery (414 6th Ave N, Minneapolis). Bottles should follow starting on 12/17 at liquor stores in 750ml bottles.
