Indeed Rails & Ales: A Celebration of Music, Art & Beer

Artawhirl_2013_11x17It only makes sense that Indeed Brewing Company should be part of Art-A-Whirl. So it should come as no surprise that they plan to host “an insane collision of music, art and beer” during the event this year on Saturday, May 18th from noon – 11pm. Whether their crowning jewel is brewer Josh Bischoff’s L.S.D. Honey Ale (and that’s Lavender, Sunflower Honey and Dates… no little pieces of paper floating in this beer, suckers), lots of music or tons of art remains to be seen. Either way, you should make plans to roll over to Indeed during Art-A-Whirl.

Look for Shenanigans Summer Ale, Day Tripper, Midnight Ryder, Let it Ride IPA and the aforementioned L.S.D. Honey Ale. Music? Why yes… how’s about Como Avenue Jug Band, The Cactus Blossoms, Martin Devaney, The Brass Messengers, Pennyroyal, The Brian Just Band or perhaps The Roe Family Singers?  If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, then how about a little art? Resident Solar Arts Building Artists, Riot Act Reading Series, Poet Elisabeth Workman with visuals by Erik Brandt, Paris 1919.

Food from Natedogs and Gastrotruck. Your welcome.
SPECIAL BEER RELEASE: L.S.D. HONEY ALE A kaleidoscopic combination of Lavender, Sunflower Honey, and Dates set the stage for a mind-bending beer experience as delicate floral aromas dance atop rich notes of fruit, and honey. Conceived by our head brewer, Josh Bischoff, LSD was originally produced by the Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery where it received a medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2011.

Minnesota Beer Dinner With Homebrew Chef Sean Paxton

Beer dinner with homebrew chef sean paxtonThe Better Beer Society is hosting a beer dinner of epic proportions. An all-Minnesota beer dinner is cool in itself, but BBS is turning the proverbial dial to 11 by bringing in famed beer chef Sean Paxton (aka The Homebrew Chef). Paxton is no stranger to world-class beer dinners, having crafted beer dinners for tons of great breweries as well as events like The Great American Beer Festival and the Craft Brewers Conference.

This particular dinner is set to take place on Friday, April 26th at Republic in Uptown. Brewers and owners from Surly, Schell’s, Indeed, Summit and Steel Toe will join Paxton and BBS as they discuss the finer notes of cooking with beer and beer ingredients and pairing beer with food. Tickets are are $90. Call 612-886-2309 to reserve your spot. No doubt this will sell out.

 

SURLY BREWERY TO OPEN IN MINNEAPOLIS

SurlyWell, we were right. Last year in June, one of our sleuthy readers made a pretty good about Prospect Park being a possible location for the new Surly brewery thanks to some information Omar let slip in a video interview. Triple T (if that is his or her real name) dug through some real estate documents to find such a location and Prospect Park it was! Nice work Triple T… as far as we know, he/she was the first to hone in on this location.

Surly Brewing has announced the purchase of a “destination brewery” in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. While the site will require some environmental clean-up Surly hopes to be brewing beer at the new facility in 2014.

The 8.3 acre site is located at the corner of Malcolm Avenue and Fifth Street SE. It is just north of what will eventually become the Central Corridor light rail’s “Westgate” station.
