News & Updates
Surly Mild @Downtime
Surly Mild is a wonderful thing to behold, but as it holds a place in their seasonal line-up, the time to behold it is winding down. If you’re a Mild lover, you might want to check out Downtime Bar & Grill on the U of M campus. They’ll be serving up their last kegs of Mild for $3/pint, plus a sample of cask Furious with any Surly purchase.
Other notes:
1) There is a $5 cover as they have live music so consider yourself warned.
2) If drinking beer makes you hungry, Aaron Landry says they make pretty good ‘za.
May is Beer Month @Common Roots Cafe
Anytime is a good time to stop in at Common Roots Cafe for a beer, especially Fridays in May, when they’ll be hosting MN brewers Surly, Brau and Fulton.
May 7 – Surly Brewing
The Surly crew will be in and five of their beers will be available: Cynic, Furious, Abrasive, Schadenfreude and a firkin of oak-aged dry hopped Cynic.
May 21 – Brau Bros
Dustin Brau will be in town debuting their take on the black & tan – The Black Sheep. It’s a mix of their Cream Stout and SheepHead Ale.
May 28 – Fulton
The Fulton guys will be stopping by. Check back for details on what beers will be poured. The good word has been spoken – it’ll be a cask of IPA double dry-hopped with Glacier.
