Before you head to Winterfest, or maybe before you head home for your own local beer fest, stop by Thomas Liquors to start the weekend off right with Ben Poupard from Flat Earth. He’ll be pouring this Friday for the February edition of FFF. As usual, Fitty will also have a few other interesting beers up his sleeve to share.

The Lift Bridge crew is celebrating their 100th batch today. They’ll open their tap room at 5 today and all pours will be 100 cents until 6. Minnesota Tan will be back on tap, too.

Speaking of batch 100, apparently their spent grain looks awfully dark… perhaps stout-like????

Now where the hell can I find 100 pennies? :)

Welcome Lucid Camo to the south side of the river. Meet the brewers of Lucid Brewing and enjoy some great beer. Win some schwag, private brewery tours, etc. The Buffalo Tap will be providing free spicy cheese curds. I bet Lucid Camo also pairs well with spicy buffalo wings.

Well yeah, so no smoking in the bathrooms at at Republic, but… there is a change with Beer School starting Wednesday. Due to the popularity of Beer School, it’ll be split into two sessions to make room for everyone – one at 5:30pm and one at 7:00pm The two classes will be essentially identical, so feel free to come to whichever works better for you on any given week. The first class featured Lanny Hoff of Artisanal Imports and Dave Anderson of Dave’s Brewfarm, and last week Nate Sellergren guiding the class through Stone’s beers. There’s 14 weeks left in the Spring semester, and some great breweries are lined-up. As always, the price is $5 per class, or $30 for the remaining 14 classes of the semester.
