Hey everyone, just a quick note from Lucan. For everyone not heading to Denver this weekend, you’re invited to take an equally exciting trip to Lucan! This Saturday we’re opening up the brewery for our first annual Hop Fest. Beer, food, and live music. All beers will be on tap as well as Ring Neck Braun and several casks. No entry fee, just show up and be ready to BS. We’ll open the gates at 1 pm and close them at 8 pm. If you haven’t been out, this is a good excuse to see lovely southwest Minnesota! If you have any questions, just call or email me at the brewery. ~ Dustin

Day of Dark Ales at The Blue Nile

This sounds enticing… Sounds like a nice day to visit The Blue Nile!

Hey, guys, just a little note to give you a preview of something I’ve got coming up in about 3, 4 weeks. Saturday, November 1, all the taps at the Blue Nile will be occupied by stouts and porters. This date was specifically chosen to celebrate the first birthday of a keg of Bell’s Expedition Stout I’ve been aging since earlier this year. (LAbel says it was brewed 11/1/2007)
