You’ve survived Monday, yet Hump Day looms on the horizon. Put your worries aside and drink up without dipping too deep into the beer budget.
If you’re in the mood to drink in the company of others, check out Rock Bottom for their Big Ass Beer Night: $6.95/23 oz, keep the glass and refills are only $3.95. Or if you’re in the vicinity of Pizza Luce (downtown), they’ve got $3 pints of Summit.
If you’d prefer to do your drinking at home, pop in at your nearest Granite City for $5 growler fills.
Congrats to Juno for submitting the favored toast for Minnesota Craft Beer Week:
O’ beer, craft beer
to my heart so dear
raise a glass and cheer
to Minnesota beer.
…and in your bellies?
Twin Cities Business has a rundown of production of breweries and brewpubs in Minnesota. Interesting stuff.
So it’s probably no secret that I’m a fan of Arborfest. It’s a fun, intimate beer (and now wine) event that takes place every Spring in support of Family Tree Clinic of St. Paul, whose mission is to cultivate a healthy community through comprehensive sexual health care & education. It’s my trifecta – good people, good beer, good cause. Head on over to St. Paul on Friday and join me and the MNBeer crew and a ton of your other friends.
Other good stuff: Drinking Song & Shanties by The Eddies, rides on the PedalPub, Bag Pipes, food, DJ Double Trouble and perhaps a beer or wine or four:
