With the plethora of new US and Minnesota craft beers flooding our market, it’s sometimes easy to forget the international pioneers. Well this Tuesday, you’ll have an opportunity to reaquaint (or acquaint) yourself with one of those classic breweries, Samuel Smith, at St. Paul’s Wine Thief/Ale Jail. Tomorrow night from 5 p.m. until the bottles run dry, they’ll be sampling the majority of Sam Smith’s exported products including the India Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Imperial Stout, Pure Brewed Lager, Strawberry, Raspberry and Cherry ales, Nut Brown Ale and the Stingo “Oak Aged Dark Ale”.
This tasting is part of their regular Tuesday night beer tastings, the full schedule which will be posted in the next couple days.
The Ale Jail (in St Paul near the corner of St Clair and Fairview) will be opening some beers from Victory Brewing Company tonight from 5pm-7pm. Golden Monkey Belgian Style Tripel, Baltic Thunder Baltic style Porter, Helios Saison and more. Stop on by!
