Growler sales at Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub begin this Monday, May 6th. In February, they doubled their fermentation space and are now able to produce enough beer to have growlers. They will start by offering their four year-round beers: Big Jim IPA, Light Rail Pale Ale, Smokehouse Porter and Honey Wheat. Look for seasonal offerings later this summer.
Good news from the Bemidji Brewing Company – the Bemidji City Council has approved ordinances allowing taprooms and growler sales within the City. With that move, a large hurdle to growth has been removed for Tom, Tina and Bud as they continue to brew out of the Harmony Co-op shared kitchen. Things are looking promising, though; in this clip from Lakeland Public Television, Bud hints at a move to a permanent location to allow increased production and of course, a taproom.
Here’s to continued success, Bemidji Brewing Co.!
The fine folks at Lucid Brewing have received their growlers. Apparently they decided to put beer in them as well (go figure) and you’ll be able to buy them tomorrow at the brewery starting at 5:30pm. They’ll have Air, Dyno, Foto and their Kickstarter Dutch Rye brown ale “Craig’s Ale” available for your belly-filling enjoyment.
Cheers to Lucid!
