Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery will release “The Gobbler” on Monday, November 6th. The Gobbler is a blueberry pale ale “designed to be a perfect match for your turkey on Thanksgiving.” I’ll buy that.
From 5:00 to 6:00pm Monday, pints of The Gobbler are $2.00.
Straight from Omar at Surly Brewing:
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.
Where is Surly, you ask? Here’s a map from Google. Enjoy.
Head over to Zipp’s sometime between Thursday and Saturday to taste some Minnesota beer from the great (not yet) white north, Lake Superior Brewing.
According to Don, he’ll be there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4-10.
“I’ll bring along some three year old Old Man Winter Warmer for those who ask for it. They usually have some pretty good prices when I do these.”
Sold? I am.
Zipp’s is located at 2618 East Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis.
From the Barley John’s mailing list:
Teach A Friend to Homebrew Day: Come one, come all to Barley John’s Brewpub in New Brighton on Saturday, November 4th, any time from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The event is part of the American Homebrewers Association’s (AHA) national event, which is Teach A Friend To Homebrew Day. On that day, hundreds of interested parties across the country will discover just how easy it is to make quality craft beer at home. Free brewing demonstrations will begin periodically, so whenever people get there they will not be far from seeing a batch of homebrew started. This event is put on locally by the Minnesota Homebrewers Association.
There will be beginner’s brewing kits given away, so please come and bring that friend or sister-in-law who has always talked about maybe starting to homebrew
For more information, please contact John Longballa at jlongb@ties2.net, or go to the MN Homebrewers website, www.mnbrewers.com. We’ll see you at Barley John’s on November 4th!
Note: Barley Johns is not putting this event on, we are providing the parking lot space in which to host the event. For specific information contact the sponsors. Cheers!
