FFF at Thomas: Abita

Hoooo, I never get tired of posting “FFF” and having folks think we’re talking about that brewery from Indiana…

No, we’re talking about Fitty’s First Friday at Thomas Liquors, when chief beer guy Fitty opens some beers for you all to try. This Friday kicks off the summer season with Abita for the June installment of FFF.   They’ll be tasting five vastly different offerings from the folks who are known for their benevolence as much as their quality.  See ya there!

Lucky Bucket at Thomas Liquors

Join Fitty and native Minnesotan and brew master Zac Triemert for the first ever tasting of Lucky Bucket in the state of Minnesota.  Zac will be tasting out their flagship Pre-Prohibition Lager, IPA, and the mega-complex Certified Evil Stout.  The first shipment to Minnesota is scheduled to arrive on Thursday and they’ll have it at the store to sample at 3:30.  Now that’s fresh!

Lucky Bucket Brewing at Zipp’s

Join Zipp’s as they welcome the Lucky Bucket Brewing Co. to Minnesota! Representatives from Lucky Bucket will be on-hand pouring their beer including IPA, Pre-Prohibition Lager and Certified Evil (a cabernet barrel aged imperial porter)!

The tasting will be held on the main floor and open to the public (as long as you are over 21 with a valid ID).
