I don’t know where to start - five casks of beer, tons of great people, way too much swag… birthday cake, noisemakers and streamers… crazy. Lots of fun! Photos to come…
P.S. Drop [...]

MNBeer turned 3 this year and we were all to busy to celebrate (or perhaps we were celebrating other things). So in light of that fact, we’ve decided [...]

We’ve got swag! You can buy glasses at Autumn Brew Review and Alvey at The Four Firkins has a case as well. Openers are free. The plan is to move on up to something fancier once these glasses go. Drink up!
