Alaskan Launch Week in Minnesota
Dumping these all into the calendar would be an exercise in futility (though we might do it if we don’t sit and enjoy these Alaskan samples, instead), but here’s the list of events that the Original Gravity folks have planned. Here’s what we have thus far… things may change:
Launch Week Events mapped out
http://bit.ly/AlaskanMeetsMN
Alaskan will be awarding some lucky individuals at various events throughout the week with:
-A bottle each: 2010 Smoked Porter, 2010 Barley Wine and Imperial IPA
-Seats to the Smoked Porter Vertical on Saturday, May 14th with Alaskan Brewing founder, Geoff Larson
-Tickets to 2011 City Pages Beer Fest
-A case of 2010 Smoked Porter and one case of 2010 Barley Wine
In addition to these great events, Geoff and Marcy Larson (The founders of Alaskan) will be in town for events around MN Craft Beer Week. Read on for complete details of Alaskan’s launch week in Minnesota.
Saison Tasting at Heritage Thursday
I hope this works. Heritage is attempting to conjure up a little spring (if not summer) by sampling saisons. My fingers are crossed…
We all know what we’re getting ourselves into when we live in Minnesota…long winters. But even the hardiest of us have had enough this year. We’re gonna try to break the cycle by breaking out our favorite summer beer…Saison. We’ll have American and Belgian representations to compare and they’ll be 15% off during the tasting. Hopefully drinking some Saisons will convince Mother Nature it’s time to flip the switch on summer.
Our Thursday tastings run from 5-7PM.
Beer School In Session
Beer School starts next week, and the professors have announced May class dates for your information. All classes will be held at the Happy Gnome from 5:30pm – 6:30pm and are free!
Classes start May 4th, with Goose Island to kick things off. More details can be found on their Facebook page here, including info about your chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest!
Other May dates include (details posted as we get em):
May 11th, Artisanal Imports
May 18th, Summit

Classes haven’t even started and they’re already doling out the homework: Bring in receipts for the beer from the previous week to win more free beer.
Also, upon graduation, if you have a stellar attendance record (attend at least 10/12 classes), you’ll receive a card which gets you $1 off every beer at Happy Gnome and 10% off large format bottles at the Ale Jail for the next semester and $1 off beer school beers in the week following a class.
