Yup. Bigfoot sighted in Minnetonka. Go get it.
Other recent arrivals include, St. Bernardus abt 12, Bards Tale (Gluten free), The Czar Imperial Stout and Corsendonk.
No news on other locations… I’m just on Minnetonka’s beer list, but would always welcome info from other locations or other liquor stores.
Cheers!
Rock Bottom has what I think may be an oxymoron on tap, “Angry Hippie.”
This medium bodied beer is a cross between a British Style ESB and an American Style IPA. Made with British malts and a British yeast strain, it is hopped intensely with citrus American Hops for a crisp and clean finish.
Also, keep your eyes open for their Fire Chief Ale on March 23rd at 6pm.
You know the drill… another Wednesday, another new beer at Minneapolis Town Hall. $1 pints from 5-6. Tonight TH’s Broken Paddle ESB is back just in time for those of you who got worried when last Wednesday rolled around and TH didn’t announce a beer release.
Here’s a great opportunity to have a good breakfast and get a ride to and from Schell’s Bockfest on February 25th. Thanks to Jeff for reminding me to post this:
This year, the Saint Paul Jaycees have teamed together with Mark Van Wie (of The Happy Gnome and The Muddy Pig) to organize a bus trip to Bockfest at Schell’s Brewery in New Ulm. For the low price of $40 per person, you will receive admission into the festival on Schell’s grounds, breakfast at The Happy Gnome, and motorcoach transportation to and from the event! This is a great deal — you don’t need to worry about driving all that distance after drinking all day, or trying to arrange for a hotel in New Ulm. And, there will be movies shown on the bus, along with opportunities to win prizes. Plus, you get to enjoy the Bock beer with the opportunity to have your beer carmelized, tour the brewery, and “hunt” for the bock on the brewery’s grounds. The event is on Saturday, February 25, 2006. The bus will leave The Happy Gnome promptly at 9:30am. You may leave vehicles in the parking lot during the day. An estimated return time is 6:30pm. Tickets MUST be purchased in advance, no later than FEBRUARY 10. (That’s this upcoming Friday!!!) This can be done at either The Happy Gnome (498 Selby Street in St. Paul) or The Muddy Pig, or by contacting Dawn Michel of the Saint Paul Jaycees at dmmichel626@hotmail.com or 763-458-3694. We’d love to see a number of the home brewers join us! Angel Scott, on behalf of the Saint Paul Jaycees
Guess what folks, you can now find Surly beer on tap in the Twin Cities.
News flash – Beer on tap at Acadia Cafe and Blue Nile! See the SURLY BARS page on locations and web-sites! Be sure to tell them you wanna Get Surly.
Surly kick-off party this weekend!
Party at Half-Time Rec. in St. Paul, Saturday, Feb 3rd. $2 pints of Bender and your chance to Get Surly. Also, meet the people behind Surly.
-and-
The day we have all been waiting for is finally here. Surly beer is
officially available! You can find both Bender and Furious on tap at Café
Twenty Eight in Linden Hills, and Bender is pouring at Solera in downtown
Minneapolis. As a matter of fact, Surly is pouring for only $2.00 a beer
after 10:00 weekdays at Solera. I know, I just came from there. Prepare for
a night out if you are drinking at Café Twenty Eight, as they are a
restaurant and do not have a stand alone bar. For that matter, a reservation
is a good idea. Surly beers always go well with food. We have bars and
restaurants that are trying to drain a tap line for us over the weekend, so
keep checking the website next week for additional taps as they develop. We
hope to be adding locations fast and Furious.
