New at the this week: Icebreak Lager – a hybrid vienna/dunkel lager – German style and melllllooooow… Misty Mountain IPA – 100+ IBUS of low alpha English hops served on nitrogen…
And on Monday and Tuesday… Bockfest beers at the Brewhouse – Brewhouse Bock, Mr. Spock Eisbock, Procrastinator Doppelbock and Ted Koppelbock (a maibock). Enjoy!
Every couple of weeks Kris and I lob a call into All American Grill and Brewhouse to find out if/when they’ll be serving their own beer. Three weeks ago we were told they’d have something in three weeks. Alas, that is not to be. Due to a problem getting hops, they’ve been delayed yet again. The good news is that the hops have arrived (well, some have). It’s time to fire up the brew kettle, folks! As a consolation for the lack of beer, among the other entertaining events held during the week, AAGB is hosting Guitar Hero Night on Thursdays. Enjoy it while it lasts, friends, because after I make an appearance for Guitar Hero Night, they’ll have to rebuild the bar from the ground up ’cause I’ll burn that place down with my smokin’ riffs.
Doug Hoverson will be doing a presentation on Minnesota brewing history and a book signing on March 15th at 6:30 at McCann’s Food and Brew in St. Cloud. This event is part of the Cloudy Town Brewers’ March Mashness.
I just noticed this promotion running over at am1500 radio. Get $50 in gift certificates from Great Waters for $25 (+ shipping). There is some fine print (e.g. you have to use the whole thing in one visit), but could be a good deal and it works for alcohol as well as food.
Despite the fact that I’m sick and on my deathbed (okay, not really… just flu/cold combo, so I haven’t tasted a beer since Wednesday), here’s an interesting little YouTube tidbit from the gang at Fitger’s Brewhouse, Brewhouse Tour Pt. 1. If the video isn’t enough for you, check out a tour in person on Saturdays at 2 and 3pm.
