ABR Tips

By on October 2, 2010in general beer

Autumn Brew Review is today! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone! Stop by the MNBeer tent and say hello, I imagine Eric, Kat, Greg and myself will be there at various times. My swag order got delayed until Monday, so I’ve got a few hundred stickers, etc. versus 2000 to pass out. I’ve also got limited quantities of t-shirts, but if you’re a large or a medium, I’ll have you covered… for a while.

Regardless, come say hello! And…

1. Eat a good base – don’t go to Autumn Brew Review on an empty stomach!

2. Hydrate! (Not just beer!) Drink water!

3. Pace yourself! You don’t need to drink 20 2 oz. samples of Darkness!

4. Grab your beer and step aside! If you want to talk to a brewer or hit on the girl/boy pouring boy, move off to the side to talk. Also, please don’t gather with your silly drunk friends two feet back from the table and drink in a little circle. Step away!

5. Don’t drive. Period. “I’m fine.” Uh, no, trust me, you’re not. “Yesh Iss am.” Ugh.

For those of us lucky enough to be attending ABR this year we are in for a special treat, Hai from Ngon Bistro will be providing some of his delicious food while we consume some delicious beers.

We’re going to be providing food at Autumn Brew Review this Saturday. Stop by for some grilled Fischer Farms pork skewers, Kadagen free range chicken, egg rolls, & spring rolls. Hope to see you there.

Cheers, Hai

Pre ABR Events

By on September 27, 2010in bars/restaurants, beer dinners, beer events, beer stores, breweries, brewpubs, free beer, general beer

When Corey at Hohensteins clarified to me that the “pile of stuff” he was sending to us was in fact a “$hitload” of events to post, we clearly underestimated the sheer volume of events. If you live near a bar or restaurant, it’s highly likely something is happening there in the days leading up to Autumn Beer Review this Saturday.

Whether a full fledged beer dinner or simply the tapping of a unique keg, you can find the full listing of events here.  Please note that some of the events on the MnBeer calendar are duplicative.

Look for the ABR  program, including tasting seminars and tours, to be posted soon.
