The Heavy Table has a nice write-up on yesterday’s Firkin Fest. Check it out. Also, congrats to Lift Bridge for the gold medal, crowd favorite Farm Girl Kimono. Does anyone recall the full listing of judge and crowd favorites? I was too busy with my nose stuffed in a glass to take notes and my short-term memory went on a holiday.

Tease!
Gang, I removed a post I’d made earlier in the day regarding a series of fund-raising beer tastings to be held in MN and the Dakotas in 2009. I’d learned of the events through a published ad in a publicly available rag, found a site chock-full of information, and decided to share the excitement. I also gathered a bit more information and learned that there are still quite a few details to be worked out with respect to these events. Locations, dates, beer offerings, food vendors and live music are all subject to change and the information available was not complete. I got the okay to leave the post up, but after thinking about it for a while, I decided to pull it back until things have firmed up a bit. That seems to be the prudent thing to do.
But never fear! When details firm up a bit more, we’ll repost information on the event. Sit tight!
Huzzah – Website Updates
We’d previously made mention that Great Waters’ website was given a facelift (well, a complete overhaul actually), thanks to Jeff. Now it appears as though the beer list is being updated with some regularity. Huzzah!!!
Those of you on Brau Bros. e-mail distribution also saw a note from Dustin promising that their site redevelopment was moving along. Huzzah!!!
And Al, how long has Blue Nile been doing the Google slide-show on beer? No matter…Huzzah!!!
Edit: Oh yeah, I fixed our link to The Herkimer from our Brewpubs tab too! Huzzah!!!
Not a “meaty” post, but at least it was enthusiastic. Huzzah!!!
Beer Wars!
The showing of Beer Wars sounds like a good time and an interesting film:
Today is our official launch for BEER WARS LIVE on April 16th. We are going to be in 440 theatres across America for one night only. We will have the world premiere of the film followed by a live talk-show style panel with key people from the movie (think reunion show) led by Ben Stein. For more on the event or to find a theatre near you go to the Fathom Events website.
We’ve already received lots of buzz (all viral) and people are planning events in their communities that evening. Please help us to get the word out so that we can get the conversation started!
And check back often for more exclusive videos.
