By on January 10, 2011in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Ok lets try this again..thanks Todd for the clarification and further teasing. This post will be updated yet again as we learn more, and I imagine we’ll make it easy for ya to keep track and add most of em to the calendar….

So what’s all the brew-haha about? Well Surly is turning five! Starting January 31st, look for events around town–special kegs, casks and more–to celebrate their 5th Anniversary (one of which is at the Blue Nile on Feb 2) 🙂

Al is reporting that the Blue Nile will host the 5th Anniversary party for Surly Brewing in a few weeks, with specials kegs and casks and more fun, yet to be determined. More details to come!

Harriet Brewing Coming Soon

By on January 6, 2011in breweries

It looks as if Harriet Brewing is about to launch, with a Belgian dubbel & a Belgian-style IPA. According to Michael Agnew’s Hot Dish post on City Pages, the brewery license application just needs to go to the full City Council for approval, which should happen by the end of the month. Hence, our old pal Al at The Blue Nile is planning a release party to follow. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more!

At Harriet Brewing we emphasize intention as the primary component in recipe development. It’s what makes good beer special. We take pride in using our knowledge of traditional beer styles, our open minds, and eclectic pallets to brew both unique and traditional beer styles. Our goal with every recipe is authenticity… to develop a particular character that allows the beer to stand out and be remembered. It’s authenticity that we crave as beer drinkers; so, it’s authenticity that we strive for as brewers. We study beer, determine what we want, then manifest it! For most of us here, it’s not just in brewing; it’s a way of life.
So, fellow beer lover, we ask that  you drink with intention!
