Well whaddya’ know, Surly Brewing Company has updated its website. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to getting Surly… heheh.

Tonight Minneapolis Town Hall is releasing their Little Dog Pale Ale, said to be the younger sibling of their Big Dog Double IPA that was released back in February. This time around, there should be a heavy dose of Columbus and Cascade hops… hopheads rejoice!

From 5-6 (today only!) pints of Little Dog will be $1.00.

A number of people seemed to be having difficulties ordering Winterfest tickets through the Ticketworks website. Some reported having luck with calling Ticketworks. Their website is now reporting that the tickets are SOLD OUT. Being the nice guy that I am, I gave Ticketworks a call, and the rep. I spoke with said that the tickets were indeed sold out. A couple of other people have also confirmed getting the same message.

I guess it just goes to show how rabid we Minnesotans are for good beer. Winterfest sold out in less than an hour!

I ordered them today through Ticketworks. Actually, I ordered six for a small crowd of thirsty beer fans. That leaves less than 192 tickets for the rest of you.

If you want Winterfest tickets, don’t mess around. Tickets will go on sale on Thusday, December 1st (that’s 1st, not 2nd… thanks David) at noon through only through Ticketworks. This even will sell out. (Something like 200 tickets are up for sale and that’s it, kids.)

This year’s Winterfest will be held at the St. Paul College Club on January 14th, from 6:30 to 9:30. Tickets are $30 and include a tasting glass, appetizer bar and live music from the Jaztronauts. Good times.

Remember, this event will sell out and you can only get tickets through Ticketworks. Local brewpubs won’t have ’em!
