Easy cowboy, it’s just a mock-up. We get our first order of swag sometime next week. I ordered some simple ergo aluminum bottle openers with an etched logo. I think glassware and t-shirts will follow. Watch for the openers at beer events. Yes, they’ll be free.

…all of our ad space, anyway. We have eight Minnesota advertisers booked through January for the top banner placement on the site. Of course I know there’s still some interest out there, so I’m now looking at getting rid of the Google ad and making the space available to advertisers. The ad’s smaller, so it’ll be cheaper. Drop me an e-mail if you’re interested and I’ll send you specifics (ryan AT mnbeer.com).

I’ve been selling a little advertising on MNBeer.com and have decided that it’s time to get my hands on some MNBeer.com swag. So… (if you care, of course) what would you prefer? T-Shirts, pint glasses, something else?

We interrupt the normal flow of beer to bring you this quick message…  We’ve begun to roll out our new advertising plan. If you own or manage a beer-related establishment (or something else that might spark the curiosity of MNBeer.com readers) and are interested in advertising on the site, drop me a line at ryan AT mnbeer.com. We’ve sent out information to many establishments, but if you just can’t wait, let me know and I’ll drop you a PDF of the pertinent information.
