Happy New Year! Sorry about disappearing for a bit over the holidays. I got tied up with holiday shopping, painting a toybox for my nephew, bottling beer for family members, etc., etc.

Anyway, I missed the chance to mention that Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery released Black Snow, a coffee porter flavored with local free-trade coffee from Peace Coffee.

And tomorrow, Wednesday, they release a Centennial Pale Ale, made with none other than one of my personal favorite hops, Centennial (duh). If you’ve been to a beer release at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, you know the drill: $1 pints from 5-6.
