Where the Wild Beers Are…
Love the name, guys… In any case, I’ve been instructed to clear my calendar for August 17th and have done so… here’s why:
Attention WILD & SOUR BEER fans!
Introducing “WHERE THE WILD BEERS ARE”, a collaborative beer tasting presented by Twin Cities Imbiber and hosted by Stub and Herb’s Cocktails and Dining Emporium. Sunday August 17th beginning at 4pm.
This isn’t your typical beer tasting/festival. It is a group effort to celebrate the rare and wild, by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. We invite all fans of the funk to dig through their cellars and bring wild brews for all to share. We have already raided our cellars and are bringing ales such as Cantillon 50N-4E, 3 Fonteinen Doesjel, Cantillon Cuvee Des Champions, Rodenbach Classic, Hanssens Oude Gueuze, Panil Barrique (2005 & 2008) and much more to share.
Lakemaid Beer Article
It seems the beer bug must be catching over at the Star Tribune. Following on the heels of Tom Hogen last week, Kristin Tillotson has an article on Schell’s limited edition Lakemaid beer.
Strib Article on Hop Shortage
In case you’re not a reader of the Star Tribune or in case you generally just like to look at the pictures and read the comics in the paper (like me), let me point you to an article in today’s Strib about the impact that the hop shortage is having on local brewers. For anyone who has paid attention to this over the past months, there really isn’t anything new to report. However, Chao Xiong, the reporter, does a good job in addressing the impact locally.
Reminder – City Pages Beer Festival!
Just a quick reminder that today is the City Pages Beer Festival. The event runs from 5-9 P.M. Lines get long and the event is generally crowded, so plan for that. It’s a beautiful day so far and likely to get better with a few beers. See you there.
