Finally, a beer event that’s tax deductable! Here are the details on the
beer charity at Solera:

There will be a silent auction and live music from local electronica artist
Jessy Greene. All proceeds from the door and the silent auction will go to

So come drink for an actual good cause, not the “good causes” you usually
come up with to justify having a couple beers on a weeknight.

Rumor Mill… New Holland Brewing coming to MN?

By on June 23, 2006in general beer

From fellow homebrewer and all around good guy Wayne Teuer is some rumors of New Holland beers coming to MN. I have not verified this information, but Wayne is generally a reliable source.

Just a quick note to inform you that by mid to late July, New Holland Brewing Company’s beers will be available in the metro area. For those that don’t know, John Haggerty is the head brewer at New Holland Brewing Company in Holland, Michigan. John was the head brewer at Town Hall before Mike took over. John went to MN Brewing and then to Berlin, Germany where he attended and graduated from brewing school before taking over the helm at New Holland Brewing Company.

From what I understand, Howenstein will be the distributor. The beers will be available in mid to late July. NHBC has some great beers and now we can get them!! Attached is a list of what will be available.

Can someone put this on the different club lists for me? I think this is very news worthy. A Minnesota boy finally comes home!!

Cheers,
Wayne
