Gitchee Gumee 2008, originally uploaded by MNBeer.
The above photo of Bryon Tonnis epitomizes Gitchee Gumee Brewfest for me… AAAHAHAHGH! Craziness. I had fun. I did. I’ll probably go back. I’ve had more fun at our local events (Autumn Brew Review, Winterfest, etc.), but I think we can still learn from those crazy Wisconsinites. Details below the fold…
Finally! Al will be hooking up the first keg of Schell’s Einbecker 1878 Doppelbock on Tuesday, April 8th at 7:00 pm. Freebies, swag, etc. Enjoy.

Okay MNBeer readers, who is going to Gitchee Gumee Brewfest in Superior tomorrow? I’ll keep my eye out for you, especially if you’re wearing one of our shirts. Sunday is my birthday, so feel free to buy me growlers from Fitger’s or something…
Speaking of which, they’re not on the GG list. One can hope it’s a misprint?
I thought we mentioned this or at least alluded to it before, but in case you didn’t know, look for Surly Bitter Brewer in cans.
Update: April 14th release at Madcappers in Stillwater.
Here’s a new one for Minnesota, a locally-produced beer in cans with widgets. The beer, set for a fall release, will bring the much-loved Summit Oatmeal Stout from the tap to your refrigerator. I’m told that the test-cans are working quite well and hold up nicely side-by-side compared to the nitro-pushed version. I’m begging for samples, but I suspect I’ll be waiting. This sort of explains why the Oatmeal Stout glasses they’re selling at the brewery are so big. A release party at Summit is slated for September.
