It looks like Tyranena is making a grand three day tour of our fair cities and have added a tasting at Thomas Liquors between their dinner at The Gnome (which is SOLD OUT) and tastings at Zipp’s and Groveland Tap.

Hockey is a very Minnesota sport and even more so when it’s played outside on our many ponds/lakes. Later this month, January 22-24 to be exact, the 5th Annual US Pond Hockey Championships will take place at Lake Nokomis and Finnegans is looking for 40+ volunteers to help out with operations and refereeing.
In appreciation of the volunteers Finnegans has pledged to provide, the US Pond Hockey Championships will make a donation to the Finnegans Community Fund. Click here to sign up as a volunteer.
“Plans being made for Mankato brewery” Tim Krohn, Mankato Free Press.
We’ve been talking to Tim Tupy a bit as he’s been planning his project and were holding off a bit until we had time to put together a good story. In the meantime, we got scooped by Mankato Free Press, mainly because we’re lazy and/or are far too preoccupied with drinking beer. Yeah.
…and a nice nod to the brewing community in Minnesota…
Tupy said other state breweries, including the 150-year-old Schell’s, are a close-knit and welcoming community.
“The neat thing is everyone in the industry really works together and wants to give people a lot of choices.”
Furthermore Firkin Friday at Grumpy’s Downtown. Say that five times fast and then head over to Grumpy’s Downtown at noon on Friday, January 8th for a cask of Furthermore Knot Stock and free appetizers. Can we play hookey on Friday?
The folks over at Vine Park have decided to give away a free batch of beer or wine (winner’s choice) in their 1st Annual Winter Vacation Photo Contest.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a winter vacation planned just yet. You have until April 1st to submit your entry/entries. If your idea of winter vacation is more of the cold and snow, fine. If you prefer to spend your winter vacation sunning yourself on the beach, that’ll work, too.
Now for the three simple rules.
#1 Vine Park gets to pick the winner.
#2 The photo must somehow include the Vine Park logo. This could be accomplished by utilizing a piece of Vine Park swag, perhaps a sand drawing, or maybe you want to go the permanent route and get their logo inked on yourself. Use your thinking cap and you can probably come up with some way to incorporate the logo and communicate the idea of having fun.
#3 Vine Park gets the rights to all entries.
