Mark your calendars for August 27th at 7:00 pm. Tyranena will be at Stub and Herb’s for a talk & tasting. I’ve been to all but one of these events and have had a lot of fun each time. (Above, Mark Stutrud from Summit Brewing Co.) Jon has a keg of Devil Over a Barrel and Scurvy squirreled away just for this event. Food and prizes as per usual. See you there.
Mark your calendars and prepare to argue… Surly Darkness will show its proverbial face in the Twin Cities in October, and Jon over at Stub and Herb’s hasd decided to hold a Darkness Eve Party and Beer Swap. It will take place on October 24th from 8-10 pm Jon is gathering a good selection of Russian Imperial Stouts to have on hand (Old Rasputin, Storm King, Avery Czar and Leinenkugel’s Big Eddy thus far), and may also have some Surly cask beer so that Jon can show off his new beer engine. Beer trading encouraged.
Yup. Thanks to Ed for the scoop.
Dawn and I are taking Friday off of work and rolling into Madison sometime during the day. I think we’re going to visit Leinenkugel’s on our way (as we’ve both never been there) and then spend the rest of the day in Madison. We don’t have any hard-set plans, though I’d like to venture over to the Great Dane at one point or another. We’re staying at the Sheraton near the event.
In any case, dear readers, who else is going? Where are you staying?
Greetings,
We will be officially releasing Ovni Ale at Acadia Café (329 Cedar Ave. S. in Minneapolis) on Wednesday the 6th from 6 – 9 p.m. They’ll have special pricing on our biere de garde and other Flat Earth beers. We’ll be heading down to give away some swag and have a few pints. See you there!
Also look for Convention Ale to hit stores this week. We created a special beer for the upcoming conventions. We took a little from column A and some from column B and something from off the chart to make this Belgian Red ale. So, vote early and drink often!
We’ll be at the Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison, WI on the 9th and we’re bringing Cygnus X-1, Bermuda Triangle, Black Helicopter, Rode Haring, Element 115 and a double dry hoped Angry Planet for the cask tent. Stop by and say “Hi” if you’ve managed to score tickets.
Black Earth will be available at the Renfest this year. Created at last year’s festival, it is a mix of Guinness and Belgian Pale Ale. The Renaissance Festival starts on the 16th and runs every weekend through the end of September. Belgian pale ale will be available at The Foaming Stein, Royal, King’s Pub and near the Blue Lion Tent.
We will be doing a special beer tasting at the Renfest on the 23 & 24th during the Highland Fling weekend.
Tickets go on sale for Autumn Beer Review on the 15th (www.mncraftbrew.org/abr/)
Our brewery tour this month will be held on Saturday August 30th at 4 p.m.
Growlers sales every Thursday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Cheers!
