News & Updates
Founders Impy @ Grumpy’s NE
Welcome in the weekend with a sipper of an Imperial Stout. Pat at Grumpy’s NE is going to tap a keg of Founders Imperial Stout–10.5% abv and 90 IBUs–tonight at 5pm. Corey at Hohensteins is also reporting that cases of this dark goodness will hit the streets next week.
As an added bonus, a cask of Rush River Winter Warmer will be flowing!
Smoke in a Bottle
That’s right, a plan is in the works from our boys at Surly to begin bottling Smoke, [edit: with more than 4000 bottles] ending up on liquor store shelves. I guess that new bottler is getting quite a work out!
Nic Skrade at Uptown Tattoo did the art work, Al McCarty of Blue Nile fame wrote the text, but final label approval is pending from the, er, good folks at the TTB. So….release date TBA.
More details as they roll in…but really, what else do you need to know?!

St. Paul Summer Beer Festival
Juno sent this a couple of days ago… on the verge of Minnesota’s abrupt transition from early fall to winter. He’s either cruel or really funny. In any case…
Save the Date! The 2010 St Paul Summer Beer Fest will occur on June 20th, 2010 from 12pm-5pm. Tickets will go on sale March 21st, 2010 at noon. Last year sold out with over 2000+ attendees. There were over 50 craft breweries from MN and beyond, live music, food, and the fun atmosphere of Midway Stadium of the St. Paul Saints. The 2010 St Paul Summer Beer Fest will be bigger and better (more breweries)!
I had a great time with friends last year at their inaugural event. Word of warning. Bring sunscreen!
