Getting Surly at Winterfest.

As the temperatures drop and the snow threatens to fly, we’re reminded that in just two short months, Minnesota’s longest-running all-local beer festival will be under way. Will you be there? You’ve got two options.

First, the Seasonal Six Pack program has returned. $300+ ticketing fees gets you a pair of tickets for all three Guild festivals – Winterfest, All Pints North and Autumn Brew Review. Buy your tickets once and forget about camping out in front of the computer for the rest of the year.

Seasonal Six Pack Tickets go on sale on Monday, December 2nd at noon! Tickets are limited.

Second, if you’re more inclined to buy said tickets ala carte, fire up your clicking fingers and get ready to smack the appropriate keys on Monday, December 16th at noon.

All Pints North 2014 – Saturday, July 26th, 2014, 3-7pm

100yarddashFinally! Our friends at Brau Brothers are making their fresh hop beer, 100 Yard Dash available to the drinking public on Monday, December 2nd. Named for the short distance between hop bines and their brew kettle at the old brewery in Lucan, this beer has traditionally been bursting with hop flavor and aroma with hops straight from Brau Brothers hop yard. I’m definitely looking forward to drinking some of this soon.

…wait, I’m looking forward to drinking a beer? Who woulda’ thunk?

Summit Union Series: Rebellion Stout Details

By on November 14, 2013in breweries
Summit Rebellion Stout

Summit Rebellion StoutWe dug up some information about the second beer in Summit Brewing Co.’s Union Series back in August. Now that we inch closer to an official release, we’re happy to share some more details.

First and foremost, you’ll start to see this beer the week of November 18th.

The recipe is based on an 1896 recipe from the recipe archives of a brewery in the Irish city of Cork. At 70 IBUs and 8.5% ABV, this beer should be nice, warming stout, perfect for the winter months. The name comes from Cork’s reputation as “The Rebel County” for its prominent  role in the Irish War of Independence and Irish Civil War.

Read on for more information.
