It’s Wednesday, new beer day at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery. Here’s the skinny:

Wednesday is coming….I guess that means more beer! This coming 6/14 look for the release of our Mocha Java Double Brown Ale. Wow! Say that a couple times quickly. This is a great big strong brown ale aged on chocolate and coffee made by our favorite roasters…Peace Coffee. They set us up with their Birchwood Bfast Blend for this beer and I can’t wait. This will be a great sipper,dessert beer…I could go on- but really it’s beer, chocolate, and coffee how can you go wrong with that combo.
Cheers

Dawn stopped by Rock Bottom Brewery tonight both before and after an event downtown and after mentioning MNBeer.com was treated to a few samples on the house. Dawn’s notes mention hefeweizen, pilsner and maibock (transcribed as “my bock” but she’s only been appreciating great brews for the past year or so) as specialties. I’ll have to pry more information out of her tomorrow. In any case, thanks for the free beer. Breweries, brewpubs and bars, please note that the folks involved from MNBeer (and their spouses, as it were) will gladly drink your beer at no cost to you!

While we heard nearly the same news back in Feb 06, here is a fresh message from Dave Berg regarding Autumn Brew Review 2006.

Well, the wheels are spinning for the 2006 version of the Autumn Brew
Review. The date is Oct 7, 1-6 PM at Peavey Plaza.

We are *considering* having a special VIP tasting from 12-1 PM for those
interested in avoiding the crowds for a least an hour. Haven’t hammered
out the details yet, but I’ll keep you posted.

In addition, if anyone has any additional breweries they’d like to see
there, drop me a line. Keep in mind that they need to already be
distributing in MN.

Cheers!

Bandana Brewery has a two new brews available, Walnut Grove ESB and St. Clair Blanche. Perhaps it’s time for a (short) road trip to Mankato?

Why release one beer when you can release two? That’s just what Minneapolis Town Hall is doing tonight:

Hey All,
Looks like a double release next Wednesday. (6/7)
Summer is just about here and we are headed to “Blueberry Hill.” This is an American style wheat beer with the addition of natural blueberries. After that we are back on the India trail- our IWA (India Wheat Ale). I think you will enjoy this one…we stole a page from the hopping schedule of “1800” to make this beer. Stop in and try a pint next Wednesday. Release at 5:00pm
Cheers,
Mike
