MNBeer.com survey

By on January 21, 2008in mnbeer.com

Hey! We’re gathering some extremely exciting (riiiight…) demographic information for MNBeer.com to help us woo a few new advertisers. So… if you can fill out this short survey, we’d really appreciate it. If you leave your e-mail address and t-shirt size, we’ll put you in a drawing for one of our swell MNBeer.com t-shirts.  Of course, for your privacy, you’re certainly not required to do so…

As always, we’re not jerks and won’t share, sell, lend or rent your personal data to anyone else. E-mail address (and t-shirt size!) will be stripped from our statistical data.

Make sense?

Take our survey!

Metro magazine likes us too…

Yup. Watch our egos soar… We were chosen as part of Metro Magazine’s “Best Homegrown Blogs” in the January issue.

They’ve also got a nice little feature in their restaurant guide called “Beer-Drinking Adventures” that gives a nod to Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, Great Waters Brewing Company, Acadia Cafe, Barley John’s Brewpub and Fitger’s Brewhouse. Check it out if you get a chance.

2007 beer in review

As I sit here with a tulip of tasty local brew on my left, a small dog curled into a ball on my right and a Powerbook in front of me, I can’t help but ponder snow… er… 2007 and the great beer, great people and great times. For your pleasure, a quick rundown…

January:
I made some predictions for 2007. Some of them came true. 400 or more people enjoyed great beer at Winterfest. Flat Earth Brewing Co. debuted their first beer, a Belgian Pale Ale at the event. I think it’s only fair to say that a good time was had by all. The Upper Mississippi Mash-Out homebrew contest was huge. I volunteered and somehow took home a second place medal as well. Later in the month, we were all a bit surprised by some beer legislation that just didn’t sound quite right… Mpls. St. Paul chose Summit as the best brewery in the Twin Cities. And finally, local craft beer fans What Ales Thee took to the digital airwaves with their first podcast.

MNBeer in Mpls. St. Paul magazine

By on December 27, 2007in mnbeer.com

I just received a copy of the January issue of Mpls. St. Paul magazine at work and was pleasantly surprised to see MNBeer listed in their article, “wild weird wacky @ www” by Matt Smith.

For people who are very serious about their beer, this is pretty much a one-stop local microbrew shop for news, events and a great list of local brew bars and their beers.

…as long as no one thinks we take ourselves too seriously…
