Here’s a very good excuse to head over to Minneapolis Town Hall on Wednesday… they’re releasing Petunia’s Pumpkin Ale as a benefit for a friend and former server who was diagnosed with lymphoma. They’re offering $2 pints from 5-7 ($1 of each pint goes to the benefit) and live music from Hallaballoo from 7-10. Also during that time they’re having a raffle (all proceeds go to the benefit) that includes some great prizes including: a 27 inch color tv, an iPod Nano, JUUT Salon/Spa certificates/merchandise, Vikings tickets, Wild tickets, Timberwolves tickets, theater tickets (Southern & Theater in the Round), Town Hall Pint Club Membership, “Couple Gift Package” (1 night stay Holiday Inn, $25 Gift Card from Town Hall, growler & cooler bag), *Wine Package and Gift Certicicates from Bruggers, Ruby Tuesday, Corner Bar, Marshall Fields, Lunds, Byerlys and Town Hall Brewery.

So come on down… it’s a good cause, there’s good beer involved and, uh… just come down because we said so…
