Maibock & Mango Mama at Minneapolis Town Hall

By on April 30, 2008in beer events

Here’s the word on Maibock and Mango Mama from Mike at Minneapolis Town Hall:

Hey All,
This coming Saturday, May 3 is the blessing of the Maibock. The annual German style lager or “blond bock” will be blessed at 5:15 pm….this is something you want to see.

At 5:00 we will start to fill you steins (plastic cups) and we ask that you patiently wait to drink your maibock until the offcial toast after the blessing. After the toast we will continue filling your steins (plastic cups) with Maibock until 6:00…..all this cup filling is compliments of Town Hall Brewery and Pete. He may not always show it, but he likes each and every one of you. Thanks for another great year! (Maibock growlers will be available after the blessing.)

At 4:00 the kitchen will release the annual Maibock feast.

**Pint club members there is no 4-5 free beer May 3** Drink Maibock from 5-6

This is a popular event…..we suggest you come early if you want your special seat

Response on the Mango Mama has been outstanding, just to let you know when the next batch will be served… we will TRY and release one keg every Monday night.

Cheers,
Mike

Surly at Paddle Fest

Surly Brewing is once again sponsoring an extreme sports festival up in Sandstone, MN. The 2nd Annual Kettle River Paddlefest is happening next weekend, May 2, 3 and 4. Granted, the event is more about white water river activities, but I for one am as much looking forward to the evening activities at the Gas Light Bar as I am the ones on the water.

For full disclosure, I brew and drink with Tony, one of the event organizers. Don’t let that fact keep you away.

Bell’s sampling at Stub & Herb’s

I may have mentioned this before, but we want to get this into the event calendar, so here’s another post, friends.

The first two were a lot of fun, so I suspect number three will be just as nice. Reps from Bell’s will be at Stub and Herb’s on Wednesday for a tasting/sampling and answer any questions you might have. Complimentary appetizers and giveaways too. Lots of fun. Five bucks.
