Let’s welcome in the newest MnBeer advocate! Laura Noel Anderson was born today at 4:21pm, weighing in at 8lbs, 12oz and 21 inches long.  Dawn and Ryan are good but exhausted, and need sleep more than beer at this point!

Congrats you two!

Looking for something to do on New Year’s Eve? Look no further.

We are tapping our keg of Surly Darkness on New Years Eve at 5pm and will be available for $6 (for those that are Darkness fans, that’s a bargain) until it’s gone.

Come join us on New Years Eve for a 3 Course dinner for $30 with optional MN beer (yes, Darkness is one of the beers) or MN wine pairings.

The complete menu will be available the week of New Years Eve and will also include a vegetarian option. Call now for reservations.

Cheers, Hai Truong

Drink for the Kids TONIGHT

By on December 12, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer events

From our friends at Pracna on Main via BeerAdvocate:

The Kids Now Foundation is holding their 10th Annual Drink For The Kids event tonight at Pracna. There is a suggested donation of $25, which includes drink specials, some appetizers and snacks, and a local DJ spinnin’ the tunes all night.

Drinks Specials include:

  • $3 Select Draft Beers: Guinness Anniversary, Laguinita’s IPA, Flat Earth’s Belgian IPA, Schell’s Light and Shock Top.
  • $5 Select Bombers: Magic Hat #9 and Steamworks IPA
  • We’ll also have other specials running throughout the evening.

And as always, we’ll have our normal awesome tap and bottle selection.

I know this is a bit short notice, but I figured I would post and see if anyone out there doesn’t have plans for the night.

It starts at 8pm and will go until bar close. It’s open to the public! So grab some friends and come celebrate the holidays by spreading some cheer to kids in need. By drinking beer.

Hope to see some of you here!
