Congrats to Summit Brewing Co. who took home a gold in the World Beer Cup for Category 52: Classic English-Style Pale Ale for their Extra Pale Ale. It’s a great beer and they deserve the honors. I’ve got to imagine that this beer served as many Minnesotans’ introduction to hops. Cheers!

Leech Lake Brewing Company
We’re excited to announce another brewery project in Minnesota… Leech Lake Brewing Company. Greg, the company’s founder currently has a contractor hard at work improving and adding on to a building he purchased in Walker, MN. The plan is to start with a 3 BBL brewhouse purchased from a brewery in Mexico, he plans to brew multiple times per week to make up for the small size. Greg plans to plan to keg and bottle his beer in bombers, and will sell growlers from a tap room. More information will be available here as things come together. Cheers! With any luck, I’ll pay Greg a visit this summer and report back!
New Beer Engine & Fulton Worthy Adversary at BLB
Laura from Bryant Lake Bowl dropped me a line to with a two fold-message. One: BLB now has a brand new beer engine. Two: they’ll be tapping a cask of Fulton’s Worthy Adversary on Thursday at 6:00pm.
Beer & Beast
Meat, potatoes, kraut & beer! It’s Acadia Cafe’s April Beer & Beast event.
We’ve got smoked Hungarian sausage from Kramarczuk’s served with an old Czech sauerkraut & potato recipe. It’s smackin’ good. We’re pairing it with Rush River’s new UberAlt, straight from the cask. Starts at 7 p.m. $12 gets you a heapin’ plate of food and a fresh pour of …UberAlt. Y’all come!
Rush River Beer Dinner
Beer dinners are popping up these days as quickly as the dandelions. And it’s nice to see that they’re happening at some less than standard locations. Rush River, one of our just-across-the-river breweries, will be holding a dinner at a West St. Paul gem, the Cherokee Tavern. Recently remodeled and showing early promise at being committed to a great craft tap line up, if you’ve never been or haven’t been lately, it’s worth checking out.
Back to the dinner…
