Beer at the Fair?

By on August 28, 2011in bars/restaurants, brewpubs

In the past few years, the Great Minnesota Get Together has begun offering more and more craft beer, and this year may be the best. Of particular note is the Ball Park Cafe, on Underwood Street outside of The Garden. Next to your standard macros and malt beverages are local offerings from Surly, Summit, Schells and Liftbridge and other top notch craft selections from Stone, Alaskan, Odell, Goose Island and Tallgrass. To find a particular beer, check out the Fair’s Food Finder. (Thanks gromit!)

By on August 17, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

Whether you’re playing in the bocce ball tournament, cheering a team on or just looking for some tasty grub, Town Hall is the place to be Saturday.

Hey All,

Got some good news and some bad-

Good News- This coming saturday marks our annual Pig Roast (Yep, spent grain fed), Bocce Ball Tourny, and Smoked Hefe Release. Smoked Hefeweizen will be ready to go when the doors open and the grain fed pork platters will be ready starting at 2pm. Look for special pricing on Smoked Hefe when the pig is released at 2pm. We may have room for one more Bocce Team (call and Matt can give you details).

Bad News- This celebration means we are reaching the end of our summer………….but we all love the autumn in MN!

Oh Yeah, if you like hops get some of the limited supply of Tank Monkey Double IPA. Sorry no deals on this critter.

Cheers-
Mike
