The Town Hall Tap
The Tap is running happy hour ALL day on their Potato Stout and Ol’Blarney Irish Red. Plus, a dinner special of good old corned beef and cabbage with a runny egg on top.

Stub and Herb’s
They’ll be showing college hoops and offering $3 on all Irish Beers and $2.50 for Schells Lite. Kill the Keg, at 8:00 tonight, will be Finnegans Irish Amber ($5 bottomless glass).

Summit Brewing Company

We’re going on our annual Summit crew pub crawl today, from Noon to 7pm. We’ll be tweeting all day our locations. If you’re lucky enough to be off work and you’re at one of the spots, be the first to find Carey from Summit and we’ll buy you a pint! If you don’t follow us yet, sign up today!

Pre-Game Wild Party at Great Waters

By on March 17, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

Beer fans that are also hockey fans, take note. The Wild is putting on a pre-game party at Great Waters featuring all you can eat ribs, music and beer.

All Wild Facebook fans are invited to take part in a pre-game party prior to the Wild vs. Blues game on Mar. 26. A blues band (Epic Snake) will be providing live entertainment and prizes will be awarded throughout the night. You do not need to have tickets for the Wild game to attend the pre-game party. If you do have game tickets, that is even better!

The menu is tentatively set with ribs, coleslaw, corn on the cob, etc. Beer sampling stations and a cash bar will also be available.

Cost:
Dinner only: $16
Dinner and beer sampling (6 beers): $21

Event attendance is limited so please call in to RSVP now. For any questions or to confirm your reservation, call Great Waters directly at 651-224-2739. Even if you RSVP “yes” on this page, you must still contact Great Waters for your official reservation.

See you at the party!
