One: At this very moment, Winterfest tickets are still available. 325 tickets sold within the first thirty minutes. At this point, I would guess that less than 50 tickets are still available. If you want to taste some great Minnesota beers, get your tickets. A few memorable beer from last year included aged barleywines, dubbels, tripels, barrel-aged beers and of course Surly’s debut.

Two: While driving to work today, I heard the radio version of this piece on the renovation of the Clyde Iron Works complex in Duluth. The plan includes a sports complex, hotel, market and a brewery. I wasn’t able to find any additional information about the brewery – hopefully we’ll learn more soon.

Three: A few photos have been added to Flat Earth Brewing’s website.
