A prelude to the Belgian Beer Festival

On Sept. 16th, help kick off the Muddy Pig’s 2nd Annual Belgian Beer Fest with a beer tasting by Brasserie d’Achouffe. From Mark:

Chris Bauweraerts, the founder of d’Achouffe, will be in town to talk about the history of the brewery and the tradition of Belgian brewing as we sample the fruits of his labor.  Seminar, tasting, food and fun for just $20.  A 7pm start as usual.  [This tasting] will likely sell out so we suggest you purchase your tickets in advance.

Eel River and Moylan’s Tasting at the Pig

Help welcome California breweries Eel River and Moylan’s to the Muddy Pig on Sept 10th. From Mark:
Eel River was the first certified organic brewery in the US and makes some fantastic beers. Moylan’s brews some of the Pig’s favorite beers like Hopsickle and Kilt Lifter.  Meet the brewers, taste the beers and enjoy food by Oscar all for just $20 per person.  The fun starts at 7pm and tickets are now available at The Muddy Pig.

Massive T-Storm Approaching

Everyone loves a good summer Thunderstorm, and one is about to descend on 7 Corners in Minneapolis on Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Minneapolis on August 10Doppler radar has indicated a rotating wall cloud with strong winds capable of tipping all unseemly beers on any outdoor patio.  Damaging hail, lightening and raucous laughter will accompany this deluge.  If you are in the path of this storm you must seek shelter at Town Hall immediately to ride out the beast.  Although we believe this T-Storm will leave a swath of destruction you may also experience an orange peel shower with a coriander rainbow.  So join us at Town Hall at 5pm to weather out the storm and share memories of T-storms gone by.   

All Hail the Thunderstorm!

Thanks to our “Eye in the Sky” (Chad Bacon) for this very important alert-
