T-storm Release at Town Hall

By on July 22, 2011in beer events, brewpubs

UPDATE: RELEASE HAS BEEN MOVED TO 7/25. Grab you umbrella and get ready for the Thunderstorm.

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Minneapolis on August 1st. Doppler radar has indicated a rotating wall cloud with strong winds capable of tipping all unseemly beers on any outdoor patio. Damaging hail, lightening and raucous laughter will accompany this deluge. If you are in the path of this storm you must seek shelter at Town Hall Brewery immediately to ride out the beast. Although we believe this T-Storm will leave a swath of destruction you may also experience an orange peel shower with a lemongrass rainbow. So join us at Town Hall Brewery Monday, 8/1 at 5pm to weather out the storm and share memories of T-storms gone by.

All Hail the Thunderstorm!

Autumn Brew Review Tickets on Sale Friday! (Don’t Panic!)

By on July 13, 2011in beer events, breweries, brewpubs

Autumn Brew Review has been my gold standard for local beer festivals over the years. This year we celebrate 11 years of great beers on Sept. 17th with a small change to accommodate more people. This year, the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild has decided to split ABR into two sessions, one from 10am – 2pm and another from 3-7pm. Brewers will be splitting beer equally between both sessions, so the biggest advantage of going to the early session is that the early session will have mini bloody mary samples with horseraddish-infused vodka from Referent Vodka and mixers from Lehmann Farms.

tl;dr – Autumn Brew Review tickets go on sale Friday, July 15th at noon.

Historic Grain Belt Brewery grounds, Minneapolis. $30 in advanced, $40 at the door if it doesn’t sell out.

Rock Bottom Eurotrash Brunette

By on July 6, 2011in beer events, brewpubs, free beer

The state government maybe shut down but local beer lovers can still get a free handout. Thursday July 7th @ 6pm Rock Bottom will be tapping their new seasonal beer. The Eurotrash Brunette ale. This is a brown ale made with the finest European malts, hops and fermented with a German ale yeast.  This beer may not be overly sophisticated, but is plain up tasty and guaranteed to be good company on a warm summers night. As always the first beer is on the house, this beer is dedicated to all the foreign exchange students without  whom lets face it most of us would never have had the slightest interest in learning a foreign language.

Beer Dabbler Highland Fest

By on June 20, 2011in beer events, breweries, brewpubs, cask beer

This year marks the third Beer Dabbler event at Highland Fest. And for the record, I’ve only filed in tapping one cask at the event. Will Summit let me tap another? Only time will tell. In short, you’ll have to get Beer Dabbler tickets.

This year the event takes place on July 16th from 1-5pm and will feature more than 65 breweries, 200 beers, live music, food, a jumbotron & beer education. You had me at jumbotron… er beer. Seriously, The Beer Dabbler puts on a good event and I’ve had a good time at every one. Dig it.
