That’ll Be $30, Mrs. Sundberg, Please Write Your Check to the Guild…

Autumn Brew Review is mentioned at The View From Mrs. Sundberg’s Window, a blog over at the Prairie Home Companion website. Judging by her post, Mrs. Sundberg owes The Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild a few bucks, or, at the very least, some blueberry streusel bars.

Now who brought the beer that tasted “a bit like green apples and butter with a hint of rotten egg”?

MINNEAPOLIS—(September 26, 2006)—Maureen Ogle, author and historian, will discuss her book “Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer” on October 27 at 2:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore at Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis.

Ogle recounts the exciting and adventurous history of the founding fathers of American beer and their path to becoming corporate giants. From humble beginnings, Ogle shows how German immigrants with a knack for business and a fond nostalgia for their “beirgartens” persevered through temperance, Prohibition, and anti-German sentiments to make beer America’s national drink. “Ambitious Brew” examines how the impact of marketing innovations, advertising and packaging set the stage for the emergence of new microbrews and the next step in American beer enterprise.

Ogle will sign copies of her book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html.

Apostle Apple Ale at Fitger’s

Once again, Fitger’s comes to the table with more great beer, this time around it’s their Apostle Apple Ale. Let me just say that it is indeed tasty.

Greetings,
This week at the Brewhouse we released (today) Apostle Apple Ale. We get the first pressings from the apple harvest in Bayfield, WI, infuse this elixir into a malty golden lager and age to perfection.

This is our first offical fall release usually followed by Devils Track Pumpkin Ale.
I’m getting alot of questions on the release date of our pumpkin ale. Mark your calendars for Thursday October 26th. Pumpkin will arrive on that day.

Thanks for your support,
The Brewhouse Gang
