…and the commenters want local beer! Surprise! It’s a pipe dream to think that some (maybe any…) of our local breweries could afford the same sort of sponsorship that Budweiser could take on, but on the same note, I tend to think that Budweiser cheapens Target Field a bit and distracts from the “uniquely Minnesota [...]

Hmm. Not sure if they’re listening. This doesn’t look terribly promising. Nothing says “ultimate Minnesota outdoor experience” like… uh… Budweiser?! Maybe not…
Target Field to feature Budweiser Roof Deck
This probably shouldn’t be looked upon as a final nail in the craft beer for having craft beer at the new stadium… Summit, Schell’s and Cold Spring lack [...]

The Beer Dabbler events HAVE NOT, let me repeat HAVE NOT NOT NOT been canceled. Mag got scammed by an MNBeer.com comment by someone posting under the name “Matt Kenevan” saying that all of the events were canceled. This simply is not true and as a whole, MNBeer.com sincerely apologizes for any misunderstanding.
The Stillwater event, [...]

SORRY! We’re going to change the date for the MNBeer.com 2.5 Year Anniversary one last time! In an effort to avoid overlapping with Gitchee Gummee, we inadvertently scheduled the even the night before Easter. That didn’t fly with some people, so now the official date is April 18th. Solid. Really. I promise.

City Pages asked Rett Martin of Brew52 5 Questions. Rett was kind enough to give us a big nod. Thanks!
If you were going to advise someone new to the Twin Cities about local breweries and local pubs, where would you send them, and what kind of beers would you suggest that they drink?
Well if they [...]

I’ve got four cases of this tasty beer (as well as plenty of their other beers) set aside for Hoigaard’s 4th Annual Ski Fashion Party on Saturday night. The event will likely be your first chance to try Summit Winter (as it won’t be on tap or in the stores for a few weeks), and [...]

I ran into an alarmed blog post or two (via east-lake.net) regarding the PedalPub and it’s fate in Minneapolis. I dropped Al a line to check on this and you’ll be glad to know that the hearing was actually just a meeting to discuss regulating the PedalPub. Al says there are no changes in store [...]
