For those of us lucky enough to be attending ABR this year we are in for a special treat, Hai from Ngon Bistro will be providing some of his delicious food while we consume some delicious beers.

We’re going to be providing food at Autumn Brew Review this Saturday. Stop by for some grilled Fischer Farms pork skewers, Kadagen free range chicken, egg rolls, & spring rolls. Hope to see you there.

When Corey at Hohensteins clarified to me that the “pile of stuff” he was sending to us was in fact a “$hitload” of events to post, we clearly underestimated the sheer volume of events. If you live near a bar or restaurant, it’s highly likely something is happening there in the days leading up to Autumn Beer Review this Saturday.

Whether a full fledged beer dinner or simply the tapping of a unique keg, you can find the full listing of events here.  Please note that some of the events on the MnBeer calendar are duplicative.

Look for the ABR  program, including tasting seminars and tours, to be posted soon.
