Don wants to know where he might find free copies of BeerAdvocate magazine in the Twin Cities. Help a brother out. Where would he find copies of said magazine?

A couple of months ago I posted something about seeing a new brewpub going up in Waverly, MN, but was not able to find any other information (probably ’cause I didn’t look too hard). Well, I now have a bit more information about the All-American Grill & Brewhouse. Well, okay, I’ve got a […]

[ April 5, 2008; 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. ] The 2008 Gitchee Gumee Brewfest held in Superior, WI is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, 2008. Yeah, okay, so this is MNBeer.com and I’m posting a Wisconsin event. Deal with it. Superior is close enough to the border to let this slide. Besides, it’s a good event and does have MN […]

[ September 17, 2007; ] Yum. These sort of things always sound good. Unfortunately (ahem), we rarely get sent any free passes for this sort of event. In any case, Highland Grill is having a Summit Beer Dinner on Monday, September 17th. Courses and beer are as follows.

Canape - Cured Meats, Olives Pickles with Summit IPA

Beer Cheese Soup with Summit […]

Curious about what breweries are attending? Music? More? We’ve updated our post on ABR and you can check it out here…
BONUS: Michael Jackson (again, the one we liked) had some remarks on beer at the very first Autumn Brew Review here (thanks Dave…)

In case you need a reason beyond walking around gnawing on a hunk of meat and an abundance of busty serving wenches to visit the Ren Fest this year, then go for the beer. Yep, you heard right…the beer. At a majority of the beer stands you can find Flat Earth’s Pale Ale. […]

Ugh. This banner ad won’t do anything to impress folks in the Twin Cities. Crowntown may be visually interesting, but overall, it’s pretty boring, too… We hear their beer sucks, too. If the Twin Cities are lame compared to Crowntown, I’ll take lame any day…

Michael Jackson (the one we actually care about) has passed away. Lew Bryson has a nice piece about Jackson to share.

If you ask me, Beachscrat should probably get free Surly for this one… he built up an old Schwinn Varsity and converted to a fixed gear drive train… no brakes, no gears, no coasting. He named it “Darkness” in honor of his favorite beer. “Which, much like my bike is strong, dark, really friggin’ […]

Hurrah! Finally! The brand-spanking-new, much-awaited MN Craft Brewer’s Guild website is up and open for business. Just in time for Autumn Brew Review, too…

Okay, so it’s not entirely beer-related, but a lot of MNBeer readers dig bikes, and of course we’re all down with the local thing. Hence, I’ve been digging Twin Six, a local company that designs cycling gear that deviates from the norm. Good stuff. To keep this beer-related, I suggest you check out the brewpub […]

Today! Stockyard IPA with 1 oz. of Amarillo and 1 oz. of Crystal. It looks as if the Kolsch is gone as well as the ESB, leaving Dark Knight and Rosie’s Old Ale as the seasonal offerings. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see another offering from Barley John’s soon…

Has anyone checked out Buster’s on 28th yet? They’ve been open for a very short time, but it sounds like a visit might be worthwhile. Their website* has a listing of their draft beers and the list is pretty nice - locals beers include Flat Earth, Summit ESB and EPA, Surly Furious as well as […]
