Rush River will be at Brasa in St. Paul with their final firkin of Lyndale Brown Ale that was infused with Pomegranate Green Tea. Since I can’t say it any better, in their own words, “Killer beer meets killer food. Be there.”
Regarding that “killer food”, Brasa will be pairing the beer with Five Spice Pork Belly, Citrus Cabbage Salad and Chaulafan Fried Rice.
I had a chance to sample some of the Lucky Bucket brews over at Thomas Liquors last night (wowzers, good stuff), and learned that they’ll be all over town the next few days.

Market analysis conducted, regulatory hurdles hurdled, financing hassles handled, operating plan executed, important thoughts thunk, and now its time to turn up the dial of competition in the tipsy-powered mobility market. Pedal Pub has got a little competition now in St. Paul, as reported by the Pioneer Press, in the form of City Cycle. Check out their story. I think some kind of death-match race involving armor-clad riders with lances and spike-borne wheels mounted on these beasts as they tear around a Circus Maximus is in order. But that’s just me.
Cask ale at home!? Mike and Jake from Brewing TV take what they learned about cask-conditioning ales from Damian McConn (Summit Brewing Company) and use it to make their own cask version of a Oatmeal Stout. Join the guys as they learn the steps to a great firkinfied homebrew, get jiggy with double espresso shots, and drink the finished cask ale with some work buddies. You’ll find there’s None More Cask. Blam!
Done with Gran Old Day? Still need beer? Fabulous Ferns will be tapping 2 firkins at 5 pm right after you get kicked off Grand Ave! There will be a firkin of dry hopped New Belgium Ranger IPA and a dry hopped firkin of Summit Horizon Red! Come on down and have some post Grand Ol Day fun!
