I’ve got four cases of this tasty beer (as well as plenty of their other beers) set aside for Hoigaard’s 4th Annual Ski Fashion Party on Saturday night. The event will likely be your first chance to try Summit Winter (as it won’t be on tap or in the stores for a few weeks), and more importantly, the event supports Children’s Cancer Research Fund.

Tickets are $40 in advanced or $50 at the door (and $20 is tax deductible). The event includes a winter fashion show, silent auction featuring a variety of winter gear and other cool stuff, music/dancing, bonfires, cash bar and more. Ticket are available at the door or by visiting http://support.childrenscancer.org/sfp.

I ran into an alarmed blog post or two (via east-lake.net) regarding the PedalPub and it’s fate in Minneapolis. I dropped Al a line to check on this and you’ll be glad to know that the hearing was actually just a meeting to discuss regulating the PedalPub. Al says there are no changes in store for now, and probably nothing until next year. He also mentioned that creating regulations will be a collaboration between the city and the PedalPub that he expects “will go smoothly and professionally.”Fear not pedalers!

Lots of good news from the PedalPub… The full newsletter is below the fold. Some highlights: PedalPub Bill passed and you’ll see pedalers with drinks in hand in Minneapolis and St. Paul, PedalPub has joined up with the Twins to present Mobile Tailgate Parties, PedalPub returns to some great Mpls. routes, thanks to a new contract with the park board and Amstel buys a PedalPub… read on.
