Limited Release Beer

Have you checked out the web show, Limited Release? It’s a web series put together by a couple of Minnesotans (with some ex-pat help) dedicated to “the hunt for great rare beers and the events surrounding their release. Thus far, they have episodes on Three Floyds’ Dark Lord Day as well as  a Kate the Great event at Portsmouth Brewery with Surly Darkness Day in the works. Definitely worth checking out!

 

BETTER BEER SOCIETY UNIVERSITY NOW ENROLLING

Let the kids have their new shoes and notebooks. Let the college kids have their hacky-sacks and their all-nighters (wait, I still enjoy an all-nighter, too!). This here is school for beer lovers! Over the past couple of years, local Twin Cities beer fans have been educated and entertained by local and nationally-known brewers at MSP Beer School. Beer School is now Better Beer Society University and classes for the upcoming semester begin on September 19th at Republic with new local brewery Indeed Brewing Company. This semester will also include presentations based on beer styles, beer ingredients, and the beer industry in general.

There is also a new professor on the scene, Jake Keeler. Believe me, this dude’s a real hard-ass if you’re tardy. But who would be late to amazing beer and great insider information from the craft beer world? Keeler knows his beer — as does Better Beer Society’s founder and event organizer Rob Shellman — so expect awesome guests, great lessons, and good times. The class can only accept 125 students, so get on the list. (This semester’s tuition includes some extra goodies for your bedazzled backpack.) See THIS LINK for more information and to register. Class is about to be in session!
