Muddy Pig 5 Year Anniversary Party

By on June 26, 2007in bars/restaurants, beer events

I’m taking advantage of the free wifi at the cabin to give you a couple of updates… the first, Muddy Pig’s five year anniversary sounds like a blast. Unfortunately, I’ll be rolling back into the city that night, so I doubt I’ll make it… enjoy!

I know it sounds crazy but Paul and I opened the doors five years ago and it’s time to celebrate. This Saturday, June 30 all tap beers at The Muddy Pig will be half price (I never thought I would have to say this in the bar business but…) while supplies last. Yup, from open to close, all 32 tap beers including Summit, DT, Surly and even Miller Lite will be half price. Our way of saying thank you for five years of support. But please, let’s all be responsible and plan on taking a taxi home that day. I do.

See ya’ll Saturday,

Mark

Inter-Club Campout Teaser

By on June 20, 2007in breweries, homebrew

You’ve heard about the big inter-club campout in New Ulm, haven’t you? Minnesota homebrew clubs galore and no doubt a good beer or fifty…

Anyway, here’s another little teaser from Dave Berg at Schell’s. You’re chance to taste some great kellerbier and get the all-access tour of the Schell Brewery. Something not to be missed!

Hey Folks-

Just a little teaser for you to think about if you’re on the fence (besides the tour that is, I hope I can find all the keys I need and I hope I don’t get us all lost in the cellars…)  By the way, bring your cameras for the tour…you’ll get to see a couple of the old Cyprus fermentation tanks that were still in use not that long ago.  Where else in the US are you going to see that?  But I digress…

I’m going be serving some Bier von dem Fass at the event.  Let’s call it Kellerbier or Zwickel Bier, your choice…Unfiltered Pils from the Ruh tank served gravity pour via my new super-nifty German Keg thingy do-dad.  I’ll try to figure out how the heck it works before then, or maybe we’ll just roll with the punches.  We’ll have some Pils in a keg with some taps and a hammer…our task will be to figure out how to get it out…

Cheers!
