A few people asked, so we should let you all know that we have nothing to do with TwinCitiesBeer.com. However, they’ve got a cool site going that’ll let you know what’s on tap at bars and restaurants around the Twin Cities from Azia to William’s. Good stuff.

Here’s a cool ad for Carlton Draught. Unfortunately, their beer isn’t nearly as good as their advertisement.

There’s been a bit of a delay in sharing this info, as the MNBeer crew has been busy and/or lazy (depending on your politics). Regardless, here it is, straight from Mr. Berg himself:

Just wanted to let you know that we have decided to use Ticketworks for
selling tickets for Winterfest this year. Ticket price is $30, for which
you will receive access to the event at the St Paul College Club, a
commemorative glass, be treated to a wonderful appetizer buffet, and be
able to taste the wares of Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild members, all
while enjoying some local music.

Tickets go on sale Dec 1, 2005 at noon. Be warned, this event will sell
out quickly. We’re only selling 200 tickets this year, which is about 50
less than last year.

The temperatures are starting to drop, and winter will probably be here before we know it. Ice, snow, sand, salt, plows and “snow emergencies” are but a few of things we can look forward to this winter. Fortunately, there’s something we beer fans can all agree upon: Winterfest.

This year Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild will be holding their annual Winterfest celebration on January 14th, from 6:30-9:30PM at the St. Paul College Club. When we know more about ticket sales, we’ll let you know.

There’s a new homebrew shop up in Grand Rapids, MN… Dave Cartwright opened Brew Buddies on October 1st.
