The Surly Open (Disc) Golf Tournament

By on July 17, 2007in beer events, breweries

This sounds like a good time, and if I didn’t suck at disc golf (or have plans that day), I’d probably go. Surly Open.

That’s right. Surly is putting together a golf tournament Sunday, August 5th. Leave your golf shirts, clubs and balls at home, this one is a disc golf tourney. We will have sign-up on the web-site in a few days. The plan is to have to waves of a shotgun start. What’s that mean? Everybody that signs up will head out to a designated hole and start playing at the same time. We are planning on start times of 9:00 and 1:00. Cost is going to be $25. That includes the game of golf, a Surly disc golf and dinner. We are working on putting together some fun hole prizes. Like longest drive gets a case of beer, stuff like that.

Tell your friends and plan on signing up, we need to fill this event up so we can repeat it next year.

One more thing, this event is open to everyone. This is not a competitive tourney, the idea is to have a little fun. See you throwing!

Flat Earth Update

Here’s an update from Jeff and the gang over at Flat Earth Brewing Co.

Wow! What a month we had. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed our beers at A Taste of Minnesota this year. We went through over 200 cases of Belgian Pale Ale and Element 115 in less than 5 days and we look forward to next years’ Taste to serve you even more styles. To top it off we landed on the front page of the Pioneer Press on July 4 (see www.twincities.com/allheadlines/ci_6293341).

Our open house was June 29 and what an awesome time we had. Nearly 500 curious and thirsty beer drinkers passed through our doors. Thanks to everyone who came out for the evening. In case you missed your chance then we will be having another brewery tour this Saturday, July 14 at 1 p.m.

Mark your calendars for two upcoming beer festivals. Saturday, July 21 we will be at the 14th annual Clayton Lion’s Brewfest in Clayton, WI near Turtle Lake. We will also be heading to Madison, WI for the Great Taste of the Midwest on Saturday, August 11. Check our website for upcoming brewery tours in August as well.
Thank you for your continued support.

Cheers!

Town Hall Gigantic Beer Release…

By on July 11, 2007in beer events, brewpubs

Read on… lots of good stuff at Town Hall Thursday evening. If I can break away from a semi-work related task, I’ll try to drag Dawn down there with me for some goooooood beer. The Belgian Wheat Wine is screaming at me… “Drink me! Drink me!”

Hey Kids,
Happy to announce that some changes are happening! Installed new climate controlled cask lines and we have our under bar draft boxes installed. We best break in all those new lines well……Tomorrow is the day! 5:00 we will release Town Hall Barrel Aged Wee Heavy, Town Hall Barrel Aged Quadruple (this aged in French Oak 18 months), and Town Hall Barrel Aged Ruby Jack (Belgian Wheat Wine) and if that’s not enough…why not release Gouden Carolus Tripel and the one and only Rodenbach Flemmish Red (both guest beers on tap from Belgium). Sorry, no growlers. The weather is going to be great, should make for a wonderful evening!

Thanks all for the continued support!
Cheers,
Mike
