Help Barley John’s get their hops

Head up to Barley John’s this Saturday, October 11 to help them harvest the hops that have been adorning their patio all summer. The picking will start at noon and there will be appetizer and beer specials. Long sleeves and gloves are recommended. The harvested hops will be dried and used in the making of their Annual Winter Ale.

Stub & Herb’s Overcome by Darkness

Surly Darkness release party heads to the U of M campus this year, complete with some new art work for the imbibers.

Save your bottles!!!

Come drink some Darkness on draft. Stub and Herb’s will be cracking the first keg at 7:PM on October 30. We are proud to host the draft kick off party. The Surly boys will be in the house. All Surly beers will be on special.

Come drink some under the largest Surly logo in town. We currently have painters hard at work on the first Surly mural in town. Thanks to Omar and the crew for putting it up for us.

We hope to see you there.

Wanna’ Drink Some Summit Winter Saturday Night?

I’ve got four cases of this tasty beer (as well as plenty of their other beers) set aside for Hoigaard’s 4th Annual Ski Fashion Party on Saturday night. The event will likely be your first chance to try Summit Winter (as it won’t be on tap or in the stores for a few weeks), and more importantly, the event supports Children’s Cancer Research Fund.

Tickets are $40 in advanced or $50 at the door (and $20 is tax deductible). The event includes a winter fashion show, silent auction featuring a variety of winter gear and other cool stuff, music/dancing, bonfires, cash bar and more. Ticket are available at the door or by visiting http://support.childrenscancer.org/sfp.

Welcome to the Blue Door

The Blue Door Pub is now open! Well, it has been for a couple weeks, but we’ve just added them to the Mn Taps list (on your right…). They boast an impressive tap list with a bunch of Minnesota-brewed options, and already have plans to expand their bottled beer selection. The three times I’ve been there, it’s been steadily busy, yet the staff was able to stay on top of it with a smile. Oh, did I mention Juicy Lucys? They got ’em….if it can fit in a burger, then you’ll find it at the Blue Door.

*Edit* How could I forget their amazing happy hour?! 3pm – 6pm and 10pm – close, $2 pints and $8 pitchers.

New Belgium Tasting at Stub & Herb’s

Another fun night at Stub & Herb’s – this time with New Belgium. I’ve enjoyed the Giddy Up as of late and am curious to try the Abbey and Grand Cru. If you like Flander’s Reds, be sure to try La Folie. I shared some friends recently and really enjoyed it.

Stub’s monthly beer tasting for October will feature New Belgium. The tasting will be held on October 29th at 7:PM. Jack from New Belgium will be on hand to do a quick Q&A. There will be snacks and some swag giveaways.

Cost $5. You will get to tast 9 New Belgium products.
