Yes, here it is in all of its glory, our first award & a matching window cling. Apparently, one can place the window cling in a window, be spotted by undercover City Pages agents and be entered into a drawing to win a year of free advertising. Of course since MNBeer.com is more of a virtual outfit, I have no choice but to encourage the City Pages agents to drive by my house, or, at the very least, accept the above photo as proof that the cling is indeed posted in our “place of business.”
As much as we might joke about things, it is an honor, and we fully expect that next year we’ll be considered for “best villian.”
We’ve begun planning for version 2.0 of MNBeer. We have a few ideas and tricks up our sleeves as well as plans for making use of a more robust CMS. We’ve had a few requests for a forum/bb as well as expansion of the MNTaps section to include at least some of the bars serving great beers in Minnesota. What do you think? What would you like to see added to MNBeer?
Wednesday, Minneapolis Town Hall will release yet another beer. You can go get your beer on at 5:00 (or any time, really…)
Tomorrow (5/31) marks another release.
Look for our Saison to be released at 5:00pm.
This is a Belgian style “Farmhouse Ale” brewed in the French speaking region of Belgium called Wallonia. These refreshing Belgian pale ales are light, crisp, and dry with a pronounced hop bitterness and just a bit of traditional spice.
