Here’s a small blurb on MNBeer.com… ‘Why Facebook’s 25 Random Things is So Popular’ by Justin Piehowski. Scroll all the way down… incidentally, you can visit Facebook and look us up to see 25 not-so-random things about at least a few of our writers. Yessir.

SORRY! We’re going to change the date for the MNBeer.com 2.5 Year Anniversary one last time! In an effort to avoid overlapping with Gitchee Gummee, we inadvertently scheduled the even the night before Easter. That didn’t fly with some people, so now the official date is April 18th. Solid. Really. I promise.

Screw the mall, go to the beer store! Available exclusively at The Four Firkins (unless one of you other shops wants to buy a case of glasses), these pretty little MNBeer pint glasses are perfect for your favorite beverage, pile of change or your favorite crunk juice.

And to keep you from going naked… we’ve got shirts in a few designs. They make perfect gifts and will definitely earn you some cool points among your geeky beer friends. Check ’em out!

City Pages asked Rett Martin of Brew52 5 Questions. Rett was kind enough to give us a big nod. Thanks!

If you were going to advise someone new to the Twin Cities about local breweries and local pubs, where would you send them, and what kind of beers would you suggest that they drink?

Well if they were going to be here for a while I’d tell them to try it all. There are so many good beers brewed here. But let’s say they were here for just one night, the first thing I’d do is check out MNBeer.com to see if there were any special beer releases. If not, I’d have them chug a Grainbelt Premium (come on, you have to) and bike over to Town Hall for their IPA. Man that would be a good time.
