Tonight’s a busy night for beer. Take your pick… or hit all three!

1. The Beer Dabbler is having a Ticket Presale Party at Tiffany’s in St. Paul. You can buy your tickets for The Beer Dabbler at Twin Cities’ Pride Fest in Minneapolis (June 22nd) and/or The Beer Dabbler at Highland Fest in St. Paul (July 21st) and save $5. As a bonus, Tiffany’s is having a Sam Adams tap takeover featuring 14 beers and flights of 4 for $7. Beers include their Grumpy Monk, Belgian Session, Griffin Bow, Norse Legend and other special releases. 6-9pm, tickets on sale at 7pm.

2. The Nomad World Pub’s Midweek Beer Geek is 6-9pm and will feature Abita’s St. Gleason’s Imperial Red. As per usual, Minnesota Beer Activists will be in attendance and the Brewbicle crew will be on hand to showcase their products and give one away to one lucky winner.

3. Minneapolis/St. Paul Beer School has their final event of the quarter (semester?) tonight at Republic in Minneapolis which will feature some special, yet-to-be-named beers. Pay them a visit and you’ll also have a chance to check out Republic’s newly-expanded draft selection.

There’s no reason to be bored tonight. Forget reality TV, you need a beer!
