New beer from…Grain Belt!

By on March 22, 2010in beer events, breweries

It’s not often we get the opportunity to post news from Grain Belt, and especially news that involves a new beer release! You read that correctly–Grain Belt is proud to announce the release of Grain Belt Nordeast, “…an American Amber lager….light maltiness and hop aroma with a mild bitterness. Smooth taste with an excellent drinkability.”

On Wednesday, April 7th at 8:00am, the first cases of Nordeast will be delivered to Surdyk’s Liquor store in Nordeast Minneapolis and will be available in 6 Packs, 12 Packs, and on draft. It will be available that day at every bar and liquor store in Nordeast Minneapolis only, and released everywhere else the following day.
