It’s growler night at Flat Earth

By on January 8, 2009in general beer

Although Flat Earth’s infused Cygnus series is officially over, there are still plenty of reasons not to miss their Thursday growler sales which take place 3:30 – 6:30 pm.

1. They have a limited number of infusions still available, including Trees (hazelnut), Hold Your Fire (peppers), Mystic Rhythms (raspberry), Starman (anise) and Snowdog (peppermint).
2. It’s supposed to snow tomorrow and being stuck at home is better if you have full growlers in your fridge.
3. Jeff, Mike, and the other people you’ll run into there are cool.

Dark Horse Brewer at Princeton’s Liquors

By on January 7, 2009in beer stores

Hey, here’s a little note from Bill at Princeton’s regarding a cool upcoming event with the brewer from Dark Horse:

My friend Mike Earnheart from Dark Horse brewery contacted me the other day to tell me he will be in MN in January. He than told me he wanted to do a tasting at the store and will be brining along one of the Dark Horse Brewers. So that got me thinking, lets do something a little different. Instead of them standing at a post, lets do something a bit cooler. So here it is.

On Monday January 19th, from 6pm to 8pm, Mike and a yet to be named brewer will be in store. Starting at 6, there will be a meet and greet. Than, at 6:30, we will venture to the back room where the brewer will discuss Dark Horse, sample Dark Horse and take questions about Dark Horse.

Because there is limited room and this is a free event, I need people to RSVP
So email me at either Bill@princetonsliquors.com or info@princetonsliquors.com to let me know that you plus anyone else is coming. Once again this event is free and there will be limited space(standing room only), so email me right away.

This is just a great chance to meet someone who is producing some amazing brews. As everyone knows, Dark Horse is one of my favorite breweries. So come on in and join us for this great opportunity. You ever wanted to know how many blue berries go in to Tres? Here is your chance!!!!

Lift Bridge Biscotti

By on January 7, 2009in breweries

Lift Bridge’s Biscotti is now (or soon to be) on tap at Stub & Herb’s, The Blue Door, The Muddy Pig, The Happy Gnome and Mad Capper.

Biscotti Breakdown:
Unique Belgian Style Ale
7% ABV
We drew inspiration from Steve’s grandmother’s holiday biscotti recipe to create this one of a kind brew. By utilizing an array of malts, oats, wheat, pure local honey, light European hops and delicately spicing with Grains of Paradise, Madagascar vanilla beans, whole star anise, all brought together with traditional Belgian yeast, the result is a cloudy, deep copper colored, complex experience. This delight to the senses should be served in a 12 ounce footed glass and allowed to warm to 50 degrees to fully gather the malt and spice spectrum.
Enjoy while it lasts!
