It’s a small, small world. First – check out three cool Summit t-shirts designed by Minneapolis’ Aesthetic Apparatus. There. Now I can weave a rather short tale into at least a paragraph… I haven’t seen him in a while, but I’ve known Mike from Aesthetic Apparatus since the early 90s when he played in a handful of bands and I wrote for a zine that made fun of said bands (less so for Mike’s bands, but I digress…). Anyway, it’s always cool to see what Mike and Dan are up. Despite my small-world reference, the Summit/AE collaborative shouldn’t really surprise me – after all, the guys used to bring beer over to my office in St. Paul as a bribe for cutting down posters. (I used to work at a printing company and they had some big fancy toys that they’d occasionally let me used unsupervised…) Anyway, go buy a shirt – or better yet, buy me one…

Bottles of Flat Earth Element 115 and Belgian-Style Pale Ale should be in stores shortly, and Angry Planet will follow shortly. Pick up a bottle (or ten) and check out the new labels!
It seems the beer bug must be catching over at the Star Tribune. Following on the heels of Tom Hogen last week, Kristin Tillotson has an article on Schell’s limited edition Lakemaid beer.
Lanny dropped us a line to let us know that on Tuesday, from about 6:00pm until close, all Artisanal Imports beers (except DeuS) will be half off at The Bulldog on Lyndale. That’s Tripel Karmeliet, Kwak, Koningshoeven, St. Feuillien, Meantime, Grotten, and maybe even some Urthel. All half off. Go and enjoy some great imported beer for unbeatable prices!
