Town Hall Beer Release: Coffee Porter

Let me tell you a little secret… you may already know that coffee is good in beer. Perhaps you’ve had a coffee stout or maybe Surly’s Coffee Bender. But… if you’ve never had coffee in a porter, you’re missing out. I have a nice oatmeal porter infused with cold brewed coffee from Stumbeano’s in Fergus Falls, MN. It’s in the carboy and tastes great, and this is warm and flat beer folks. Keeping that in mind, note that the boys at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery can brew me under the table (and then some) and Peace Coffee is very good as well. Read on:

Coffee Porter is coming……Monday 2/4 swing on by and have a pint during release for just $2.50 from 5-6pm. For coffee beer fans- this is another version of the popular “Black Snow Coffee Porter.” This beer is made with freshly roasted beans from the local roasters at Peace Coffee (check them out on line @ www.peacecoffee.com).

See you Monday-
Mike

Oh, and from the sound of it, their Bright Spot Golden Ale is soon to be replaced by their Dortumunder lager. One would hope that they won’t call it “Slamma Jamma Juice” again, but there are worse things…

Lake Superior Special Ale firkin at Hell’s Kitchen, Duluth

It’s times like these (sans this weekend’s arctic chill) that I wish I were in Duluth. Lake Superior Special Ale, a firkin, no less, and Hell’s Kitchen? I don’t think you can go wrong. Drink up, Duluth. I’ll be at home, nursing a bottle of Old Man Winter Warmer from 2005. 🙂

The details:

One firkin Lake Superior Special Ale, dry-hopped with Cascade hops. Hell’s Kitchen, Duluth. Tapped at 4pm, $3 pints until it’s gone. Tuesday January 22.
