Schell’s Maifest should be in stores now and should stick around until May when the reformulated Zommerfest arrives. This year, it is a Honey Kolsch; a blend of 2-row, German Vienna and Carahell, Red Wheat, and some local honey from a beekeeper in Madelia, MN. The hops are all Sterling. OG: 12 Plato, 25 IBUs.

Growlers… At Vine Park
This sounds quite promising for Minnesota… Vine Park is on the road to offering growlers… thanks to Dan for sharing:
Just wanted to let you start the coding. We’ve gotten both our Federal & State Brewing licenses in the last few months. Our initial brewing will be to offer growlers under the recent changes in the state law. To move forward, we need City of Saint Paul approval. This summer we got the City of adopt an ordinance for the license process. We hope to have the application submitted in the next couple of weeks!
Let the Herkimer Take You to Bockfest
Here’s another option for a safe and sober ride to and from Bockfest. Like I mentioned the other day, The Herkimer is also planning on chartering a bus to Bockfest. A couple of cool things of note with this option is that they’re offering free beer on the bus and they’re in Uptown which may come in handy if you live in Minneapolis or western suburbs. In any case, here are the important details:
The cost will be $50 a person, which includes:
1) Breakfast
2) Coach bus to and from the Bockfest in New Ulm
3) Admission to the Fest
4) Free Beer on the Bus RideBreakfast is a buffet at the Herkimer at 10 am, with the bus to leave
shortly thereafter.The bus should be back by 7 pm.
**Here’s the important part: We need a minimum of 35 people to make this
economically feasible, and we’re still a bit short. What we need are names
of people who will commit to go, assuming we make our minimum number. (Based on response so far, I’d say chances are pretty good we’ll run the bus.)If you would definitely go on the bus, either email me with your name and
the number of people in your group, or call the brewery between 12-4 at
612-821-0101. We’ll let you know as soon as we make the minimum, or next
Monday (2/12) if we don’t.Cheers,

Flat Earth Brewing: First Brewday
Jeff dropped me a note to share that today was Flat Earth Brewing Co.’s first brewday, throwing down an 8 barrel batch in order to put the yeast to work. Next week he’s planning on doing two 15 barrel batches and in a few weeks, thirsty drinkers should be able to enjoy Flat Earth Pale Ale around the Twin Cities.
