Flat Earth Update

By on July 11, 2007in breweries

Here’s an update from Jeff and the gang over at Flat Earth Brewing Co.

Wow! What a month we had. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed our beers at A Taste of Minnesota this year. We went through over 200 cases of Belgian Pale Ale and Element 115 in less than 5 days and we look forward to next years’ Taste to serve you even more styles. To top it off we landed on the front page of the Pioneer Press on July 4 (see www.twincities.com/allheadlines/ci_6293341).

Our open house was June 29 and what an awesome time we had. Nearly 500 curious and thirsty beer drinkers passed through our doors. Thanks to everyone who came out for the evening. In case you missed your chance then we will be having another brewery tour this Saturday, July 14 at 1 p.m.

Mark your calendars for two upcoming beer festivals. Saturday, July 21 we will be at the 14th annual Clayton Lion’s Brewfest in Clayton, WI near Turtle Lake. We will also be heading to Madison, WI for the Great Taste of the Midwest on Saturday, August 11. Check our website for upcoming brewery tours in August as well.
Thank you for your continued support.

Cheers!

New Summit Social Group Website?!

By on June 26, 2007in breweries

Hrrm. The site’s pretty slow, but it might have some interesting potential…

SUMMIT BREWING COMPANY LAUNCHES WEBSITE FOR THE LESSER KNOWN SOCIAL GROUPS:
And If That Didn’t Get Your Attention, Nordic Battle Reenactment May
ST. PAUL, Minn. – (June 22, 2007) – Summit Brewing introduces thesocialelement.com, a highly entertaining video-driven website that shows off the mad skills of the adventurous, outrageous, exciting, fun and obscure groups you thought may exist, but were afraid to ask.

Thesocialelement.com is a web-based community project focused on the kinds of outside-the-box activities seen on the streets of Saint Paul, Minneapolis and beyond. They’re the activities that make you say, “Say What?” It’s the double-tall bike makers and riders, nordic battle reenactment “warriors”, and the Lake Superior surfers who make thesocialelement.com what it is – a community of groups that share the common bond of passion for activities one wouldn’t ordinarily se! e or do . These are groups that are a force unto their own and are brought together at thesocialelement.com.

Watch for more content to come every week and follow the blog to know what is going on. Know of other group of interest or want to make your own beer movie? Pass it on to the social element.

Inter-Club Campout Teaser

By on June 20, 2007in breweries, homebrew

You’ve heard about the big inter-club campout in New Ulm, haven’t you? Minnesota homebrew clubs galore and no doubt a good beer or fifty…

Anyway, here’s another little teaser from Dave Berg at Schell’s. You’re chance to taste some great kellerbier and get the all-access tour of the Schell Brewery. Something not to be missed!

Hey Folks-

Just a little teaser for you to think about if you’re on the fence (besides the tour that is, I hope I can find all the keys I need and I hope I don’t get us all lost in the cellars…)  By the way, bring your cameras for the tour…you’ll get to see a couple of the old Cyprus fermentation tanks that were still in use not that long ago.  Where else in the US are you going to see that?  But I digress…

I’m going be serving some Bier von dem Fass at the event.  Let’s call it Kellerbier or Zwickel Bier, your choice…Unfiltered Pils from the Ruh tank served gravity pour via my new super-nifty German Keg thingy do-dad.  I’ll try to figure out how the heck it works before then, or maybe we’ll just roll with the punches.  We’ll have some Pils in a keg with some taps and a hammer…our task will be to figure out how to get it out…

Cheers!
