Six Pack is the name of our new feature involving interesting people who are involved with the great beer in Minnesota. As luck would have it, “Land of Amber Waters” author Doug Hoverson was our first “victim.” I had originally written five questions (hoping to call it the MNBeer 5ive), but Doug added a sixth question and six-pack seems so appropriate.
(Oh, by the way, City Pages recently interviewed Doug as well.)
Finnegans night at Kip’s Irish Pub in St. Louis Park.
4 p.m. Event Kick-off. From 4 p.m. until 1 a.m., Kip’s patrons can enjoy pints of Finnegans for $4.50 each (a special price, for this day only), with one dollar of each pint sold going to help end homelessness. Plus, Finnegans lads & lasses will be on hand until 7 p.m., to pass out goodies at the door.
5 – 7 p.m. – Crowley & Hartman perform.
7 p.m. – Finnegans toast.
7 p.m. – Irish dance troupe & bagpiper perform.
9 p.m. – midnight – Tom Dahill & the Chancers perform.
I’ve consumed plenty of this beer, but it’s nice to see that I’ll be able to pick it up in stores soon as well. Way to go Flat Earth!
Greetings,
Today is a huge day for us! Bottles of our Belgian Pale Ale will start to be delivered today! Chisago Lakes Distribution picked up 100 cases of 22 oz. bottles yesterday and they will be hitting stores starting today. Where will they go? Good question. Here is a quick list of what I have heard so far, Cellars – Roseville, Cellars – St. Paul, Cellars – Eagan,
Cellars – Plymouth, Princeton’s – Maple Grove, Surdyk’s – Minneapolis (Next Week), Dolce Vita – Chaska (Next Week).Now of course some of these stores will not see the beer until next week, so call before you make a trip. We will try to keep the web site as accurate as possible as we add more bars and stores to our growing line up.
Cheers!
