Stout Week at Groveland Tap

Groveland Tap, St. PaulWhen I think winter, inevitably, I think of stouts (and porters for that matter) and all things dark. So it’s only fitting that Groveland Tap celebrates the chill with their Stout Week next week. They’ve got a nice lineup of stouts and plan to have specials on flights as well as food made with stout. They’ll be tapping the beers listed below at 5pm on Monday and pour them ’til they run dry. Enjoy!

Lift Bridge, Summit Oatmeal, Big Wood Morning Wood, 3rd Street Sugar Shack, Brau Bros. Moo Joos, Odell Lugene, Millstream Backroad, 21st Amendment Oyster, Founder’s Breakfast, Tall Grass Buffalo Sweat with Vanilla Bean, Goose Island Bourbon County, Guinness and a cask of Fulton Worthy Adversary.

Growler Wednesday at Barley John’s

Barley John’s is switching up their Wednesday game plan for the rest of February starting today. Cask Wednesday is transitioning to Growler Wednesday. All day long you can get $2 off selected growler fills by buying a pint (limit one per person). Cask lovers need not worry as this is only a temporary change and casks will be returning in March.

Worthy Adversary Firkins

Fulton is giving the end of imperial stout season a proper send off by offering three different Worthy Adversary firkins, starting on Valentine’s Day.

2/14 – Republic 7 Corners – Worthy Adversary with French Oak (will be available as a pairing with a dessert)

2/15 – Grumpy’s Downtown – Worthy Adversary with coconut & macadamia nuts

2/20 – Muddy Pig – Worthy Adversary with maple wood and vanilla beans
