Hey Mike would you mind passing this on to your club? We will be taking
entries back from the Duluth Brew Ha Ha this weekend.
Thanks,

The venue will no longer be my house--Chris German and the fine folks at Rahr and BSG are allowing us to take over the Bierstube at Rahr at the usual time of 6:30! 800 West First Avenue.

MICHAEL SMITH at the Old Kitchen Rug Brewery!

St.Louis Park, MN 55426

DONATION: $15 in advance, $18 at the door
ADVANCE RESERVATIONS REQUESTED!
(Sorry, we can only hold your seat if we have your check.)
RESERVATIONS:
Send check to address above, made out to: "Michael Smith"
(As always, all donations go to the artist)
BRING:
. A non-perishable item for the food shelf
. A snack to share,
. Extra $$ for CDs if you wish
. Musical instruments and voices - if anyone's interested in a jam
afterwards.
. Beverages
I will be tapping one of the brewery's latest creations to share with the
brave-of-heart...
DETAILS:
It is an honor for The Old Kitchen Rug Brewery to be hosting Michael Smith
for the SECOND time! I have been listening to Michael's songs ever since I
started listening to folk music. He is the author of such classics as "The
Dutchman" - a perennial favorite of Steve Goodman's, "Spoon River" -
masterfully recorded by Claudia Schmidt, and "Dead Egyptian Blues" - one of
my favorite Trout Fishing in America recordings. Mark Richardson does a
version of Michael's "Wonderful World of Sex", and I have been performing
"Vegamatic Song" for years without knowing that Michael wrote that one too!
Michael has been writing and singing since 1956. Originally from New
Jersey, Michael now resides in Chicago, where his autobiographical "Michael,
Margaret, Pat and Kate" stage play has garnered him four prestigious "Jeff"
awards (Chicago's equivalent of the Tony award.) This show will SELL OUT
FAST!
Please join us in our home to see Michael on Saturday, March 2, 2013 with
show time starting at 8pm.

Please note: This is a private party, in our private home. This party is NOT
a business nor is it a business related activity. It is simply a gathering
of our friends and guests to enjoy live music, fellowship, food (a potluck)
and fun. It is officially free (or else it might be considered a business),
although voluntary contributions (suggested donation of $15 per person) are
accepted on behalf of the artists. 100% of all contributions go directly to
the performers. By invitation only.
Sorry if you got a posting about Luis Vuiton stuff or anything else today.
I opened the Forum for new registrations and it took less than 10 minutes
for a few new 'people' to get in and start posting stuff.
A bit of a nightmare.
Let me know if you see anything strange.
Thanks!

This is the last call for judges for the 30th Annual Kansas City Bier
Meisters Homebrew Competition.
Registration for judges (and entries) closes this Thursday February 7. The
direct link to the competition online registration is here:

For those of you who have already registered or who plan to, information on
the Spiegelau Glassware seminar, banquet, and hotel discount are at the link
below.
http://www.kcbiermeisters.org/competitions/kcbm-competition.html
The glassware seminar will be held prior to BOS judging so if you are a high

seminar only has a few spots and will sell out within the next couple of
days.
There are still a good number of spots left for the banquet but we expect to
sell it out so don't delay too long. The banquet will be catered by Local

Journal.
I look forward to seeing many of you in a couple of weeks!

Greetings!
New Canning Line
We're doing all we can to make as much beer as possible at our current
brewery. We've installed more brewing equipment and now we're installing a
new canning line to get more beer out the door, faster.
Our head brewer Todd Haug went all the way to the

week to test out the line for himself.
<http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs145/1102478489939/img/82.jpg>
The new canning line is double the speed of our existing line, it can fill
more than 3,000 cans an hour and it'll even load the cans from the pallet
for us. The system will be online in a month or so, and it will eventually
move to our Destination Brewery. If you want to check it out, make sure to
try and get yourself on the next available Surly Brewery Tour.

Mild's our English-style Mild Ale brewed with pale, brown, crystal and
aromatic malts and flaked oats. This one's a low alcohol beer at 3.8% ABV,
so it's "sessionable".
There will be pints of Mild for $5, and 4 x 4 oz. pours of any Surly beer on
tap for $8 at the release party. Additional beers on tap will include:
Darkness, Smoke, SYX, Abrasive, Damien, Fiery Hell, Furious, Bender and

Because it's Winterfest, we're going to be pouring something special. We'll
be serving our new seasonal, Pentagram. It's a 100 percent Brettanomyces
Dark Ale aged in red wine barrels. It has flavors of sour cherry, tobacco,
oak and a classic 'Brett' barnyard funk balanced by dark Munich malt
chewiness.
We'll be bottling Pentagram soon, so look out for a release date later in
February 2013.

Overrated News
This week, artwork for our upcoming canned West Coast IPA, Overrated, was
leaked on the Internet. The unicorn-themed can art (below) was what we
really wanted for Overrated but the Feds denied our artistic vision. They
said it was too appealing to underage drinking, as if adults can't be into
unicorns and rainbows?! Pfft. It's a little over the top, that's the joke...
