Odell Mountain Standard is Back! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1102.jpg> The latest truck from Odell Brewing Company brought another exceptional beer from Alferd Packer's favorite state. I am overcome with joy to announce the re-release of Mountain Standard Double Black IPA in 4-packs! Mountain Standard is the most unique black IPA I've ever had, with a beautiful chocolatey malt base complimented by a big citrus hop kick. Think of those chocolate oranges you got in your stocking as a kid and add beery goodness with 9.5% ABV. To that I say: shpadoinkle! It's in stock now. -Bryan <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1031.jpg> Alaskan Winter is in stock! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1103.jpg> Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. This Alaskan bottle does not say Winter! Denial aside, we just received 6 packs of our best selling seasonal beer of all time. Alaskan Winter is a unique, brilliant beer. It is brewed with locally harvested Spruce tips, which lend a light blueberry/raspberry spice flavor to the caramel base. It is masterfully brewed, and a big reason why I think Alaskan is one of the nation's best breweries. You need to try this beer! -Bryan Tonight - Nosferatu tasting! Spooky Fancy Friday - win prizes, sample free beer! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1106.jpg> Tonight is going to be pretty crazy. Fancy Friday, Spooky Edition is going on all day, but the real festivities start at 6. We'll be hosting Brent from Great Lakes Brewing Company as he taps and pours a keg of Nosferatu, a hoppy imperial red that weighs in at 8% ABV. Yes, we are paying for a keg of Nosferatu and sampling it away for free! That's how we roll. We'll be dressed up, and you are invited to dress up in your spooky finest, too! Cost: FREE Time: All day, but sampling starts at 6. Place: The Firk. Fine Print: You don't need a costume to attend. But you know you want to. We will be awarding a $50 Four Firkins gift card to what we deem the best costume, and a $25 Pizza Luce gift card to the runner up. Also, anyone dressed as the classic Nosferatu will get a free beer! Homebrewers: FREE empties! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1113.jpg> Please don't make us build a temple out of empty beer bottles again. Homebrewers, we have a deal for you: drive your favorite method of hauling beer bottles over here and have them... for FREE! We do heroic amounts of free beer sampling, which results in quite a few empties. If you need free bottles, stop on by and just ask. We have 22oz bombers, 12oz bottles, and 750ml cork and cage style bottles. Also, don't think you need to wait for us to send out a call - we usually have empties on hand all the time. So just stop on by anytime and pick some up. Lakefront Pumpkin... Spirit? <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1107.jpg> At the Firkins, we do not carry cheap booze. We do carry premium spirits if they have a connection to breweries. Great Lakes Distillery has just produced Pumpkin Seasonal Spirit, a beer that has been distilled (to 45%) from Lakefront's Pumpkin Lager Beer. We are proud to announce we have procured a small amount, and we are pretty sure your Halloween will be ruined if you don't get a bottle. Pumpkin pie whiskey... yes, please! -Bryan *We also have a small amount of the base Pumpkin Lager beer in stock too! The coolest Belgian beer deal ever! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1114.jpg> You have chosen... wisely. We have received a really special offer from our Maredsous distributor - if you buy a 30 liter keg of Maredsous Brune (8% Belgian Abbey Dubbel) or Maredsous Blonde (6% Belgian Blonde) you will get six handmade clay goblets! These goblets are the real deal; they look like something monks would have used in the middle ages. Perfect for your debaucherous lifestyle! If you don't have the European tap hook up for it, we'll let you have one for a free rental, so you don't need to pay a rental fee to get your attachment. (You will have to pay a deposit, which will be fully refunded on return.) The Brune is $218.99, and the Blonde is $193.99. 30 liters is approximately 7.9 gallons. Bottom line, you get: *30 liter keg *Free rental on keg adapter or pump *Six awesome clay goblets *All for the price of a regular keg I declare this the best deal on a Belgian keg ever! Summit Tap room is now open! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1108.jpg> Congratulations to Summit Brewing, who just opened St. Paul's first tap room at a production brewery! They are open every Friday from 3 to 8, and I am very happy to welcome a taproom to my side of the cities. Find out more information on Summit's Webpage here. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001zcc60pm2d8rslI6oCYsglnZwerLysT9gAJ44btsx2FV2 v89Tn1HkGtOu0sETqeG2Ydm279OnkHwFhWiIzCbBu93kvUBC_oqQqGw5ucIVTaLCmdHBRu9-AGFe H1wZtTydXzztbAEMVdrkOB9A5mgLNSlfZNgL_5UxDaxMyLnA0IE=> Congratulations, Mark and team! -Bryan Happy Birthday to Us! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1110.jpg> The Firkins is officially celebrating its one year anniversary in the new store. We're officially not new, but we still feel pretty spry. We will be opening up a wide variety of things to sample for free this Friday and Saturday after 6, so come on over for some good times and shenanigans! Don't be naked! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1067.jpg> <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1064.jpg> Alveyshirts <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1111.jpg> It's time you started making a statement about what goes into your body with what you put on your body. We have plenty of Four Firkins branded craft beer apparel for your exacting tastes. Come on over and find your new favorite shirt! I demand you watch us sing. In case you missed it last week... <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001zcc60pm2d8qMyEmMXVPJcFVv0U-jHRBfop5zciTt-Tpu D7GtiSeTk9luD_MdsvLW1By5kKgrNSihSAgxfAw8k9fSEp4OKYOsjhX3M_Z2_RgdOXVQJlG5F1oo UnM-Z_gCdxNaz2MMQkClRiK7AQvr4Q==> Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum I'll admit we are pretty proud of our music video, Zum Zum Zum. We think it's the best thing since the polio vaccine. It's from a 1914 piece of sheet music commissioned by the Minneapolis Brewing Company, which later became Grain Belt. It's bound to become #1 on iTunes. I'm not outright saying this will cure disease or anything, but I've heard reports. We hope you'll enjoy this with a good beer in hand! -Bryan <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001zcc60pm2d8oZQTaLyT4FhU6pWvMkHcwF50ZfZ6ALOBG_ BOj3I-9MA8MXUcSN9WHhCVnDUzP_f3fwhZFvp6nXWl9m_S-UmXlfLBHqyODx4pEge5wyAXTLEMDo diVCMqnpaMRnRRKwJRyGXRk2YWgHmnwQmFsAoMRTrgRgdYgUE7q84NPWOXqu8w==> Like us on Facebook <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001zcc60pm2d8rHk4wnCQb5Ql9hnMM71AqjT-CuYVp-Vpo4 9CRqDMYbjGkeJRv0QoKto5NXsrbesmT-HeryASCqRJo2r03j4cQ5GefWaHDeZO2KPDxXKHhYSNGB vS9d8U78ExvW4Xu8BD8=> Follow us on Twitter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001zcc60pm2d8oh3Jg8kHdtq9z6x6_AZxj2hZVRB8mGEpFz K6amDRTta4kW73ggZ7-dep6MrtxiLdOWcUEyG18lEeBvpyiDi3JSxuXaZSHyQHcXupVEXoiFrlxq 1y1ty7ZUlzK5fRDGiQmw3THjQGuhIooloV_5ilXM> View our videos on YouTube It's just like drinking beer, except you are talking on the phone - call us at 952-938-2847.
