Wow… at the last minute, Dawn and I decided to Join Luke and Cassie at Groveland Tap to check out the craziness and have some $1.00 pints of Summit. The normally relaxed Groveland Tap was absolutely packed… almost to the point of being ridiculous… the bar was two people deep and the sidewalk and seating area were barely navigable. Despite the craziness, the Groveland Tap bartenders were slinging pints of Summit like nobody’s business and were likely worn out by the end of the evening. As a bonus, they were pouring Summit’s Oktoberfest last night – the first time I’ve seen it this year.
Did any MNBeer readers make it out to Groveland Tap last night?

Surly in City Pages
Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl has a nice piece on Surly Brewing Co. in this week’s City Pages. Dara does a wonderful job of touching on the “local” aspect that we think is a vital aspect of craft beer in Minnesota.
Groveland Tap Summit Summer Celebration
Hmmm. Groveland Tap is having their 2nd “Summit Summer Celebration” on the 21st of August from 6pm ’til close. $1 pints of Summit, music from 8-10pm, a raffle and cheap food. Sounds like a good time. Groveland Tap, by the way, is the #1 seller of Summit in the world.

Some news from Schell’s
Look for August Schell’s Octoberfest in stores later this month. You’ll also find it at the Renaissance Festival and the Minnesota State Fair.
Pop quiz… what’s the next seasonal beer that follows Octoberfest? Give up? It’s Snowstorm, and once-again, there’s a new recipe. This year’s Snowstorm will be a Belgian-style Dubbel that weighs in at about 7% abv. The beer is made with six malts, turbinado sugar and a crazy Belgian yeast. I bet this is going to be goooood this year..
