Thanks!

Date April 19, 2009

Thanks everyone! Saturday night’s MNBeer party at Stub & Herb’s was an absolute blast! It was ridiculous… in the best way of course.

“We’re Having a Party, Please Come”

Date November 22, 2008

Bonus points for anyone who catches the song reference… in any case, we’re giving you far too much advanced warning, but we’re having a party in April. 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 [...]

MNBeer Swag Part I

Date August 6, 2008

Easy cowboy, it’s just a mock-up. We get our first order of swag sometime next week. I ordered some simple ergo aluminum bottle openers with an etched logo. I think glassware and t-shirts will follow. Watch for the openers at beer events. Yes, they’ll be free.

MNBeer sold out…

Date July 17, 2008

…all of our ad space, anyway. We have eight Minnesota advertisers booked through January for the top banner placement on the site. Of course I know there’s still some interest out there, so I’m now looking at getting rid of the Google ad and making the space available to advertisers. The ad’s smaller, so it’ll [...]

I’ve been selling a little advertising on MNBeer.com and have decided that it’s time to get my hands on some MNBeer.com swag. So… (if you care, of course) what would you prefer? T-Shirts, pint glasses, something else?
