This sounds good. I may have to roll out to Barley John’s before you jerks drink it all 🙂
The Mild is a style from England that shares the “session” status akin to the Bitter. A fair proportion of roasted barley and chocolate malts provide an almost stout/porter like quality in the flavor while the low alcohol and subsequent low body of the beer bring these flavors into focus with an easy drinkability.
Peak Organic Tasting night.

Peak Organic rep Dennis will be at the Firkins handing out free samples of his beer from 5:30 pm on Tuesday 25th. The samples will include his new Espresso Amber ale featured below. We’ll also have the regular Amber and the Nut Brown on hand to try.
This is an OPEN HOUSE event and it is FREE. You can come by anytime after 5:30pm to taste some beer and chat with Dennis.
Lanny dropped me a line to let us know that next Tuesday, The Bulldog (Lyndale) will be having another Half Price night on all Artisanal Imports beer. To sweeten the deal, Lanny mentioned that several items that normally are not on draft will be for that night. Drinking good beer on a budget? Roll on over to the Bulldog on the 25th!
This is so nice to see… Hai from Ngon Vietnamese Bistro dropped me a line to let me know that they just added 12 taps to their restaurant. Even better, they’re ONLY pouring Minnesota-made beers! They commissioned a local artist to design a tap tower to represent local brews. Very nice. Here’s their lineup:
Surly Furious & Bender
Lift Bridge Farm Girl & Drifter
Brau Brothers Ring Neck
Summit Oatmeal Stout & Winter
Schell’s Firebrick
Grain Belt Premium
Flat Earth Cygnus X1
Lake Superior Mesabi Red & Kayak Kolsch
Ngon Vietnamese Bistro
799 University Ave W
St Paul, MN 55104
Granite City mug club members – be sure to roll over to your local GC and bring a friend for the tapping party for McK’s Scottish Ale. Not surprisingly, this beer is named for GC’s original brewer, Bob McKenzie.
Dec. 1st, 5pm – 9pm. No cover. Complimentary cheese, fruit, crackers, shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash.
Sounds like a good Monday night happy hour. I’ll likely be tipping a McK’s in SLP (I work across the street…) if anyone wants to roll by and say hello.
