News from Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery…

Wow,
Want to thank all of you for making our 10th anniversary week one to remember. Was great seeing all of you, certainly seemed as though you all enjoyed your time here. Couple items-

Our silent auction raised nearly $3000 for the MN Salvation Army and was great fun. We need these winning bidders to pick up their items […]Our beer supply took a hit, but we’ll make more! Monday we released our Porter and next week Monday November 5 we will release Heather Ale. Remember that beer is always a great match for your Thanksgiving Day turkey. Those of you that like hops… don’t worry they’re coming.

Minneapolis Town Hall update: Pint Club & Anniversary Week

By on October 16, 2007in brewpubs

Does anyone have $150 burning a hole and their pocket they’d like to spend on their good friends at MNBeer.com? (Yeah… riiiiight.)

Hey All,
Got some news for you. Just like everything else the cost of raw materials for making beer is sky-rocketing. I regret to say that in the near future we will have to increase our beer prices… slightly. We’ll hold off as long as we can, but it’s coming…

Here is a chance to protect yourself from the price increase. Pint club memberships are now on sale through the end of the month… we will only sell 50.
Benefits for your lifetime membership include:
*Free First Growler
*.$75 off every pint of Town Hall Beer you purchase…even during happy hour! (A couple exceptions)
*Invitation to pint club reception each and every Saturday from 4-5 pm. TH beers are complimentary.
*Further discounts on special Town Hall events
*Invitation to “Members Only” pint club dinners

All this for life… Just $150 (Simple math says that 4 pints per week will pay you back in just 1 year….and that is just on the .$75 discount).

Also check out the attatchment about anniversary week!
Cheers,
Mike
