Thanks Rett

City Pages asked Rett Martin of Brew52 5 Questions. Rett was kind enough to give us a big nod. Thanks!

If you were going to advise someone new to the Twin Cities about local breweries and local pubs, where would you send them, and what kind of beers would you suggest that they drink?

Well if they were going to be here for a while I’d tell them to try it all. There are so many good beers brewed here. But let’s say they were here for just one night, the first thing I’d do is check out MNBeer.com to see if there were any special beer releases. If not, I’d have them chug a Grainbelt Premium (come on, you have to) and bike over to Town Hall for their IPA. Man that would be a good time.

Surly in Wisconsin

SurlyWisconsinites, don’t say we never gave you anything (though I do appreciate some of the beers you send our way)… Surly Brewing Co. will cross the border and honor Paddy Ryan’s Irish Pub with the distinction of being the first Wisconsin drinking & dining establishment to serve Surly. To celebrate, Surly Darkness will be will be tapped at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 19.  Omar, Todd & Linda will be present and are bringing a cask of tea-bagged furious.
