Well, well, well, what do we have here? According to this Star Tribune article, Surly Brewing Co. plans to open up a taproom at their brewery in Brooklyn Center. According to the article, the plan is to spruce up their tasting room and offer Taproom hours 3-10pm Wed-Friday and noon-10pm Saturday. Currently no word on an exact opening date.
Good news from the Bemidji Brewing Company – the Bemidji City Council has approved ordinances allowing taprooms and growler sales within the City. With that move, a large hurdle to growth has been removed for Tom, Tina and Bud as they continue to brew out of the Harmony Co-op shared kitchen. Things are looking promising, though; in this clip from Lakeland Public Television, Bud hints at a move to a permanent location to allow increased production and of course, a taproom.
Here’s to continued success, Bemidji Brewing Co.!
Jason mentioned this when I ran into him a couple of weeks ago, but now thing are official. St. Louis Park will have its first taproom as of Friday! Steel Toe Brewing’s taproom opens this Friday starting at 3pm. If you can’t make it Friday, they’ll be open from noon-10pm on Saturday. Cheers and congrats!
Speaking of Summit… Brewer Eric Harper invites you to the Summit Brewing Co. Taproom to have his unique Tudor Ale. One night only – Friday, Feb. 8, 2013. Taproom hours: 3-8pm.
Perhaps you’ve seen the oak barrels hanging out over at Fulton’s brewery… Curious to see… or rather taste what’s inside? Here’s your chance. Fulton’s Libertine has been aging in these oak barrels from 2 Gingers, and they report that Libertine, oak and whiskey have “mellowed into a marriage of flavors that’s nothing short of sublime.”
Thursday is your chance to sample said beer in the taproom. Pricing will be $5 for a 10 oz pour. No growlers or bottles due to the limited size of the brew.
If you’re not able to make it on Thursday, they’ll be doing several more draft releases over the next couple weeks at bars & restaurants around the metro area. Keep your eyes on Fulton’s Facebook and Twitter feeds for details.
