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?
In part, edbeered posted this over at BeerAdvocate today:
…I went to Green Mill Brewing today and was informed by the bartender that they are no longer brewing at that location. He stated that they were looking to start a brewery that would serve all the Green Mill restaurants. He went on to say that they were going to expand the bar where the brew kettles are now, and all I could think was “what a waste”…
Anyone have more info to share, please do.
Straight from the brewer’s keyboard…
We are pleased to introduce our first lager Black Forest Bock. Bock in German translates to goat and this beer has plenty of kick. German monks would brew these strong lagers to get them through their fast during lent. Our version is a bit of a hybrid Schwarz(black)Beer/Bock. Starting with a traditional bock base we added some black malt to add a soft roastyness. A deep dark mahogany color with a caramel, toasty/raisin bread sweet malt character you will enjoy. 7.3% ABV
