I hate canceling things, but sometimes it’s better to ere on the side of caution, so with today’s (supposedly) rapidly rising temps and a fairly solid (?) threat of severe thunderstorms post-tour, we’re going to cancel our ride out to Flat Earth. 🙁
Join us next month!
The boys at Brewing TV have a new episode featuring a Twin Cities homebrewer. In this installment of BTV we’re off to one Bad Ass Brewery to brew one bad ass beer! Chip spends the day in Brooklyn Park hanging out at Bryon Adams’ awesome basement brewery for some beer geek gadgetry, a crazy-hopped (more than a pound for 10 gallons!) Burton Ale brew session, SEC smack-talk and don’t forget the smoked ribs!
Keep your eyes open over the next couple of weeks. That bottle of Stone IPA you pick up may have a special message on it. Stone is releasing bottles with unique label text here in the Twin Cities – 120 cases for Minneapolis, 120 cases for St. Paul. They’ll be landing in MN soon. Spread the word! Photos courtesy Brewing TV. BTV received a preview bottle for each city after recently visiting Stone’s facilities in California for an upcoming episode.
