Southern Tier Tap Takeover at St Paul Luce

Update: It looks like the date was updated to 5/14. -RA

We all know Pizza Luce has great taps at all their locations to go along with the ‘za, and St. Paul is no exception (disclaimer: it’s a few blocks from my house, so I’m a little partial to the locale).

Well, they’re upping the ante next month and allowing Southern Tier to have as many of their taps as they want. And from the looks of it, that’s most of them! Porter, Pumking, Phin and Matt’s, Mokah, Creme Brulee, HopSun, Gemini, Oak Unearthly, Jahva, and 2XIPA will on tap for your enjoyment!

Not only that, but they’ll be giving away ST swag and they’re working on a legendary local DJ to spin tunes for the event!

Lift Bridge for April FFF

This week Thomas Liquor welcomes back LiftBridge Brewing Co. for Fitty’s First Friday.  Owner Dan Schwarz and brewer Adam Weiss will be tasting out the newly-returned six pack lineup along with some of the limited releases.  This should be one of the best FFFs to date.

Nile’s March of the Mini Imperial

Did you miss the Blue Nile’s Imperial March event a couple weeks ago? Well, a miniature version starts Sunday and runs through COB close of business on Tuesday. 3 Imperial Stouts on tap: Avery, Founders, and Sprecher. 3 Double IPAs: Lucid Camo, Southern Tier Gemini, and Surly Abrasive. All 12 ounce pours for $7, or 3 4-ounce pours for $7. While supplies last!
