Berumda Triangle Party

By on August 10, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Join Flat Earth for their Bermuda Triangle Offical Keg Tapping Party at the Bulldog Lowertown!

For those of you wanting to hear a little bit more about the Triangle, it is a tasty Belgian Tripel. Only the finest Belgian grains were brewed with Belgian candied sugar and orange blossom honey from the Bermuda Triangle then aged for several months to produce a bright, golden ale bursting with flavors of lemon, spice, and a touch of that orange blossom honey sweetness. This is an ale that is deceptively smooth and easy drinking, so be careful not to lose yourself in the flavors of Bermuda Triangle.

Massive T-Storm Approaching

By on August 8, 2009in beer events, brewpubs

Everyone loves a good summer Thunderstorm, and one is about to descend on 7 Corners in Minneapolis on Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Minneapolis on August 10. Doppler radar has indicated a rotating wall cloud with strong winds capable of tipping all unseemly beers on any outdoor patio.  Damaging hail, lightening and raucous laughter will accompany this deluge.  If you are in the path of this storm you must seek shelter at Town Hall immediately to ride out the beast.  Although we believe this T-Storm will leave a swath of destruction you may also experience an orange peel shower with a coriander rainbow.  So join us at Town Hall at 5pm to weather out the storm and share memories of T-storms gone by.   

All Hail the Thunderstorm!

Thanks to our “Eye in the Sky” (Chad Bacon) for this very important alert-

Summit Kolsch Release and Tasting

By on August 7, 2009in beer events, beer stores, free beer

Big week coming up for Summit, as their much-anticipated Kolsch hits shelves. Get a preview this Tuesday at the Four Firkins….

The week of August 10, Summit will be kicking off their new series of limited release beers called the Unchained Series. The series is an opportunity for their brewers to show off their skills and creativity. Each beer in the series will be presented by an individual brewer-the style is their choice and they are running the show! Perfectly paired for warm summer days, the first beer to be featured is a Kölsch, presented by Brewer Mike “the Miz” Miziorko. Brewed in the traditional German style, our Kölsch will be light, crisp, and refreshing. These beers will only be around for a short time!

Come down to the Firkins on Tuesday the 11th at 6:00pm and meet Mike, the brewer. Pick his brain about this ultra traditional Kolsch as you sample some! 

The beer will be available for sale too, it’ll be in six packs. See you on Tuesday night!
