FFF at Thomas Liquors
The guys at Thomas Liquors in St Paul are thrilled to announce September’s Fitty’s First Friday. Dave Espe will be pouring Deschutes this Friday, September 3 from 4pm to 7pm.
(Fitty would also like to let everyone know that he has some Black Butte XXI left and he may be persuaded (easily) to open a bottle.)
Ale Jail Tastings
We missed posting a Tuesday Tasting at the Ale Jail–well, rather the details were being worked out and so it wasn’t ready for publication, but we think it’s worth the wait.
