Head over to Zipp’s sometime between Thursday and Saturday to taste some Minnesota beer from the great (not yet) white north, Lake Superior Brewing.
According to Don, he’ll be there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4-10.
“I’ll bring along some three year old Old Man Winter Warmer for those who ask for it. They usually have some pretty good prices when I do these.”
Sold? I am.
Zipp’s is located at 2618 East Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis.
From the Barley John’s mailing list:
Teach A Friend to Homebrew Day: Come one, come all to Barley John’s Brewpub in New Brighton on Saturday, November 4th, any time from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The event is part of the American Homebrewers Association’s (AHA) national event, which is Teach A Friend To Homebrew Day. On that day, hundreds of interested parties across the country will discover just how easy it is to make quality craft beer at home. Free brewing demonstrations will begin periodically, so whenever people get there they will not be far from seeing a batch of homebrew started. This event is put on locally by the Minnesota Homebrewers Association.
There will be beginner’s brewing kits given away, so please come and bring that friend or sister-in-law who has always talked about maybe starting to homebrew
For more information, please contact John Longballa at jlongb@ties2.net, or go to the MN Homebrewers website, www.mnbrewers.com. We’ll see you at Barley John’s on November 4th!
Note: Barley Johns is not putting this event on, we are providing the parking lot space in which to host the event. For specific information contact the sponsors. Cheers!
Landmark Center, St. Paul. The Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild is pleased to present the fifth annual Winterfest. Come sample some of the finest winter/strong beers while enjoying some local jazz music. Tickets for this event WILL sell out. Tickets go on sale December 1st.
From Schell’s website:
All ages are welcome! We wait all year for this event…one visit and you’ll see why. This is one of our most popular festivals where we brave the cold winds of Old Man Winter and turn our brewery grounds into a celebration of music, food, and of course Bock beer.
