Lots of March events at The Happy Gnome

The month of March looks busy for The Happy Gnome. Eric Wallace of Left Hand will be there next week for the St. Vrain release, rumor has it a Bourbon-barrel aged porter will be served at the Boulevard beer dinner, a St. Patty’s Tent Party, Rogue taps Batch 10,000, and Larry Bell will be on hand for the annual Oberon Ale release at the end of the month. Whew…..

See thehappygnome.com for exact details.

Flat Earth to be on-tap Thursday at The Happy Gnome.

Per Brad Magerkurth of Chisago Lakes Distributing and Jeff Williamson of Flat Earth, this Thursday starting roughly at 6pm there will be a keg of Flat Earth Belgian Pale Ale tapped at The Happy Gnome.

Brad’s e-mail:
“Jeff promises a long line of interesting, challenging, ORGANICS, Belgian Styles, as well as Domestic beers styles unrepresented by local brewers – but very much in the style of what we have come to LOVE and expect out of St. Paul : Good Cheer, enthusiasm, respect for the brewing Gods – but NO attitude.”

Jeff Williamson’s email:
“All right cats and jammers, we’ve all waited long enough, the time has finally arrived to release our beer! Flat Earth Belgian Pale Ale is ready to roll. We started filling kegs Monday night. Our official release party will be this Thursday March 1st at the Happy Gnome in Saint Paul. We’ll be tapping the keg at 6 p.m. So come down, hang out for a while and enjoy for some good beer and good times. See you there.”

Surly Grrrowlers are Here

From Omar @ Surly

Cans are not enough to keep our rabid fans at bay. We need to get more beer
to the people. Thus Growlers* are here.

Here’s what you need to know:
1) On sale at the brewery Saturday, Nov 11th @ 12- 2:30pm, tour at 12:30.
2) Growlers of Darkness, Furious and Bender will be available.
3) There will only be 30 growlers of Darkness (limit 1 per person). Don’t
show up at 2pm and cry that you missed out.
4) Darkness $20, Furious $9, Bender $8, plus the growler ($3).
5) By law, we can’t fill growlers from other breweries. So don’t bother
bringing them.
6) Yes, we are happy to take your money in any form, including credit
cards. And yes, you can give us more of your money for t-shirts, hats,
sweatshirts and glasses.
7) Beer tasting will be AFTER the tour.

* For those of you not familiar, a growler is a 64oz refillable glass jug.
Take it home, bring it back, take it home, bring it back, repeat as often as
possible.

If you prefer Darkness in a glass, our Russian Imperial Stout is now
available at Acadia Cafe, The Blue Nile, Mackenzie’s, Cafe twenty-eight,
Barley Johns, and will soon be at The Muddy Pig, The Happy Gnome and The
Craftsman.

As far as the ever present question “Are you doing anything special
soon?”… In the last 9 months we have opened a new brewery, unveiled 6 new
brews plus casks, started canning, begun growler sales, not to mention
delivering all the beer ourselves. People! What else do you want from us!
Give us a moment to sit down and have a beer…

See you drinking!
