Growler Help Needed in Roseville

By on April 22, 2011in breweries

Kris from Pour Decisions Brewing Co. dropped me a line today regarding a snag they’ve run into in their attempt to get a growler law passed in Roseville so that they can sell growlers of their beer at the brewery. A local liquor store sent a letter against the proposed change, suggesting that it would take away from their business. PDBC’s research says otherwise, suggesting that new breweries bring new beer geeks into areas that they normally wouldn’t go. Take a second and answer the poll question on their Facebook page and weigh in. As they’ve said “This isn’t just about PDBC its about beer in Roseville so send your friends over for their opinions!”

Also, if you are around Roseville on Monday at 7pm please feel free to come down to the city hall and support PDBC. Anyone is able to speak and they’d love to have you help out!

Join homebrewer Kent “Sixpack” Olsen and his buddies as they brew their own version of Town Hall’s 1800 English IPA. Kent decided to name his concoction Dirty Deeds English IPA.” What can we say? The dude loves his AC/DC! (As you’ll see here.) Grab a pint, throw something on the grill, and join Sixpack for an outdoor brew day. Video courtesy our homies over at Brewing TV.

You’ve probably already heard that Bryon Tonnis will be leaving Rock Bottom shortly. Wish him well in his new endeavours and savor his quadruple Barrel Aged Belgian beers.

The four beers are from the Belgian Trifecta Series, plus Fantome Wheat, that have spent six months aging in French Oak wine barrels.

As is par for the course, be there at 6:00 and the first pint is on the house.

Mikkeller Tasting at Heritage

By on April 21, 2011in beer events, beer stores

Mikkeller. Heritage. Tonight. Drink up, buttercup!

We’ve all seen the staggering array of Mikkeller beers on store shelves, but how many of them do we ever get to try? Well, now is your chance to see why these beers are at all the top beer stores and worth every penny you pay. We’ll be pouring samples of Beer Hop Breakfast, 10, Hoppy Easter and Chipotle Porter, all of these will also be 10% off during the tasting.

Mikkeller was started by two young Denmark home brewers, who in a few years went from hobby brewing at home in the kitchen to national and international recognition. Since August 2007 Mikkel Borg Bjergsø has run Mikkeller on his own and is a gipsy-brewer, brewing at different breweries in Denmark, around Europe and the United States. Their success is partly due to their focus on creating challenging beers that test boundaries and partly putting quality before quantity. In other words, uncompromising beer.

Our Thursday night tastings run from 5-7PM.
