Blessing of the Maibock at Town Hall
Check out all the details on the Blessing of the Maibock at Town Hall this Saturday. And if you want even more Town Hall fun, there’s still room on the tour.
Hey All,
* This coming Saturday (May 1) marks the annual Bessing of the Maibock. Expect to see a special menu from the kitchen, bagpipers, people of the cloth bessing the maibock, oh yea….and comlimentary hand-crafted German style Maibock Lager from 5-6pm. (We intend on opening the taps to fill everyones glass, when they are full we will begin the Annual Blessing of the Maibock and toast. Please don’t try and drink 75 glasses of Maibock before the toast, there will be plenty enough to get your fill before 6pm after the Blessing…Thanks for that in advance!)
* I still have a few openings for the 1pm tour this coming Saturday. If you want to be part of it call down and reserve your spot today
* Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming events as we celebrate American Craft Beer Week May 17-23. Don’t worry I will keep you posted-
*NO PINT CLUB HOUR FROM 4-5 this coming Saturday due to Maibock
Prosit!
Mike
Summit Cask @Grumpy’s NE
Summit will be bustin’ out a cask of Horizon Red Ale dry-hopped with Ahtanum at Grumpy’s NE. Plus, there’ll be Mexican food by Pat!
Don’t dally around getting over their either. The cask they recently brought out to Old Chicago in Eagan (yes, the south metro sticks) was gone in less than 3 hours. And they didn’t even have Mexican food to go along with it.
