Wandering Beer Dinner

By on July 20, 2012in bars/restaurants, beer dinners, beer events, breweries, food pairing

Looking for something fun to do the afternoon of August 4th? Well, Northeast Minneapolis has got you covered. 4 bars are teaming up to bring you a beer dinner (lunch?) that will let you check out some of awesome food you can find in Northeast, and you can walk (or bike) between stops! Travel between the 1029, Dusty’s Bar, Grumpy’s Northeast & Elsie’s from 1pm-4pm to grab a pint and a bite at each location. Each stop will run you $10 (gratuity not included, remember to tip your servers and bartenders!) and will include a pint of beer and a food pairing. You can stop in any order, but I will tell you Elsie’s will be featuring the dessert course. Also, if you bring all 4 of your receipts to Elsie’s, you can redeem them for a free game of bowling! The menu is still having the finishing touches put in place, but here are the beers being featured at each bar:
1029 – Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, featuring Smack Shack grub
Dusty’s Bar – Fulton Sweet Child of Vine, featuring Dusty’s Dagos
Grumpy’s Northeast – Fulton Lonely Blonde, featuring a Patio Grill Out
Elsie’s – Bell’s Oberon, featuring a summery dessert
