ABR Wrap

By on September 28, 2008in breweries, brewpubs

Did you have a good time at Autumn Brew Review? I did. A few quick highlights for me:

– A successful, entertaining “Name that Minnesota Beer” put together by the MNBeer.com/Twin Cities Imbiber crew. I’m guessing we had 50+ brave contestants. Well done!

– We gave out our bottle opener with a suggested donation to the Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild. We passed off about $60 to the popcorn crew. Thank you!

– Lots of good beer. I was particularly happy to finally get around to tryingthe beers from Lift Bridge Brewery. I enjoyed them! Lots of other very good beers too!

– I think the layout was the bet yet.

– Good food, good music, good people…

Well done!

The Muddy Pig joins the ranks of those holding special events leading up to ABR tomorrow. They welcome John Haggerty, former brewer at Minneapolis Town Hall and now brewmaster at New Holland Brewing Company to the Pig tonight at 5:00.  John will be available to answer your questions about beer, brewing, New Holland and the beer business in general.  Mark sez: “Start you weekend right with a cold New Holland beer and great conversation with one of the craft beer industry’s real talents.”
