Here we go again, another Ho-Hum weekend in terms of special events devoted to our favorite beverage. I have spent the week combing my sites and visiting liquor establishments and this is what I have found, if you are looking for things to do the next few days.
- Minnesota Monthly Food & Wine Experience is this weekend inside Target Field. Other than food and wine, they are also highlighting Summit Brewing, Bell’s Brewing, Schell’s Brewing and Surly Brewing, click HERE for the tap list. Tickets are sold out for tomorrow, but tickets are still available for Sunday. Click HERE for information.
- Steel Toe Brewing Company has announced that they will be selling growlers of their Size 11 today from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
- Zipp’s Liquors has announced a new brewery to Minnesota, Keweenaw Brewing from Houghton, Michigan.
This beer is canned, so it will be a great addition to my golf bag or my beach bag. They brew 5 year round brews: Pick Axe Blonde Ale, Red Jacket Amber Ale, Lift Bridge Brown Ale, Widow Maker Black Ale, Olde Ore Dock Scottish Ale, to be fair I haven’t visited Zipp’s to see which beers they brought in. Another beer to add to my wish list!
Also Zipp’s announced that Odell Brewing Company is the Craft Beer of the month, which means special pricing on all Odell products.
- Leech Lake Brewing Company has made its deliveries to metro area stores yesterday, to view the list of stores check my Sips post from this past Wednesday.
- Lucid Brewing Company will be at Senser’s in Roseville tonight from 6:00 – 9:00, CLick HERE to read more.

**Tap List**
- GROVELAND TAP: To call this a neighborhood tavern is an understatement, it is a friendly bar with 40 beers on tap. A little overwhelming, but at least you have a variety of the best breweries in the nation. Here is there current tap list updated yesterday:
Summit EPA
Sam Adams Boston Lager
New Belgium Fat Tire
Guinness Stout
Stella Artois
Michelob Golden Draft Light
Pretty IMPRESSIVE list and as I’ve said before it is a very nice place to hang and have a pint or three!
