In addition to Tighty Whitey Wit, Great Waters is also serving (pushed) Hauch von Rauch (whisp of smoke) smoked Hefeweizen currently. I had some yesterday, so can verify that they are safe for consumption. GW also has teed-up Rye P.A. (pushed) as well as New Centurion on cask. That means you MBA members need to get drinking so that these can be cracked open. Incidentally, they’ve also got a cask of dry hopped Chinook St. Peter. Bob also said he is deviously schemeing on some mad concoction for ABR. Woot!

Where the Wild Beers are 2009
MNBeer contributor and all-around good guy Jeff Halvorson and Tim Stendahl are putting on another couple of “Where the Wild Beers Are,” events, and one just so happens to be taking place at Stub & Herb’s in Minneapolis on Saturday, September 26th. If wild beers are your thing, you should go. If wild beers aren’t your thing, you should consider going anyway. More details below and at http://www.wherethewildbeersare.com/

All left over beer from last year’s event has been cellared and will be brought back to share this year.

Brewhouse Beer Monks at Renaissance Festival Sat. & Sun.
Brother Hoops sent us beautiful message on parchment paper announcing that the Brewhouse Monks would be down at the Renaissance Festival, 20-sided dice in hand*, pouring Fitger’s finest at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this weekend from 11-5 on Saturday and Sunday. I can’t think of any better reasons to head over to the Renaissance Festival (aside from maybe Byggvir’s Big Beer Cup homebrew contest). Minnesota-made beer? Sounds like a winner to me!
*Slight apologies… perhaps I’m still bitter from being harrassed by women in peasant dresses in the skyway earler this week, but I still like to tease. Don’t get cranky… I’ve had drama-geek (whoops, there I go again) friends since high school and know that some of you secretly still play D & D and Shadowrun. You can make fun of my bicycle geekery if it makes you feel better. 🙂
Barley John’s a Top Bar of 2009
Congrats to Barley John’s for being recognized by Minnesota Monthly magazine as a Top Bar of 2009 in their September issue! The link to the story is only a partial list so you’ll have to pick up a copy of the magazine itself to find the complete list (or wait a few weeks, when I suspect they may publish the full story on line).
If you haven’t made a visit lately, you may be blown away by their hops. I know I was when I had the chance to stop by earlier this week.
