Town Hall Release Schedule

By on December 13, 2006in brewpubs

Here’s the skinny from Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery:

Hey all,
Here is a list holiday release times for all you fine folks-
Wednesday, 12/20 5-6pm we will release FESTIVUS 2006. We like to make you 1800 IPA and Festivus during the month of December, this year we were a bit short of space so we combined the two beers. Festivus 2006 is a beefed up version of 1800, all the hops, more malt and more alcohol. Should offer tons of fun.

12/20 we will also have our annual mulled-ale and holiday fire. Begins at 5:00. This is a chance for all of you to have a nice warm spiced drink on us (while supply lasts) and warm your tukus by the fire before everyone splits for the holiday. Just a little thanks for your continued support. Let’s hope for continued warm weather. If anyone wants to bring in some fire-wood…feel free.

12/27 We will release a Winterstorm. 5-6pm(Let’s hope for snow) I know I’ve warned all of you Thunderstorm people about a winter version. Well, here you go! Winterstorm marks the first addition to our storm series of beers. Keep your eye open for the storms all year long. Be aware all the storms will include lemongrass and some form of honey as ingredients. Should be fun! Winterstorm is a chocolate covered orange fermented with Belgian yeast. (Lemongrass and Orange Blossom Honey)

Cheers and happy holidays!

Almost forgot-

Fitger’s Beer Release

By on December 13, 2006in brewpubs

New beers from Fitger’s Brewhouse this week:

This weeks new beers look like this:

Amsterdam Ale 6.0%
A Belgian style pils/ale hybrid brewed with belgian strong ale yeast. This ale is almost all pilsner malt and wheat with a touch of American hops.

B.W.C.A.  (Alt)  5.5%
This German style alt beer has a nutty maltiness with a bit more carbonation and a nice flavor. We ferment this beer cooler but use ale yeast then put it into long aging. This is the first (young) release 4 months old. Not a brown ale or an amber but in the same family. Very drinkable, a perfect holiday break from the running around.

Cask
Big Boat Sout followed by EL Nino Double Hopped IPA

We will release Blitzen’s Blueberry Porter on Monday Dec 18 we will have plenty of Christmas growlers and gift packages available for last minute shopping.

Check www.brewhouse.net for the full beer and music list.

Remember our Brewmasters Dinner is New Years Eve.

Enjoy the Season

Town Hall Beer Release: Evolution

By on December 3, 2006in beer events, brewpubs

Monday marks yet another beer release at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery.

Hi All,
Every once in a while we have someone wonder in the brewery and say they want to be a brewer. We generally try and send them in the right direction to pursuit their goal. Well a few months ago we had a youngster come in that wanted to be a brewer. He was different, his eyes sparkled and it was apparent this guy might have the stuff. Turns out we were at a point of transition in the brewery and needed additional help, long story short we hired him. Soon he began to out grow the job of Chief Growler/Keg/Cask Cleaning Tech…he was looking for more. This kid is beginning to change into a brewer. As we sit back as enjoy watching him grow as a brewer we also need to celebrate his graduation from the U of M that will happen in about two weeks.
So we offer “Evolution” a graduation style ale this coming Monday 5-6pm just $2 per pint. This fine ale is an amber that became a pale that almost became and ipa….some may call it a “North Shore Pale Ale”
Congrats Adam!
Cheers
Mike
