I just had dinner at Sherlock's tonight and managed to speak to Damian.
He couldn't understand why Sherlocks was closing either, especially
with the huge crowd that was there tonight.
I asked him if he was having any luck finding anything new. He said
that there were plenty of opportunities in Colorado and around Boston,
but that he was continuing to search within the Twin Cities and not
having any luck.
Sherlock's has the best, most consistently great, beer I've had
anywhere. (Haven't visited Europe yet.) Sherlock's, and Damian's beer,
will be greatly missed.
Perhaps David Berg's new employer could be persuaded to help keep
Sherlock's alive, or maybe open another Bandana Brewery in the Cities?

Here is a story that is in today's " Capital Times ". It is the daily
afternoon newspaper in Madison. It's a story about the pull out of New
Glarus Brewery in Illinois and how other state breweries are reacting.

As I sit here tonight, pondering the demise of yet another Minnesota
brewery (let's see, that's Minn Brew, Water Tower, and now
Sherlock's...not to mention one not too far out on the horizon), I am
depressed.
I remember starting here, and hearing everyone speak of the Pacific
Northwest. Well folks, I lived there for three years, so you probably
aren't going to tell me anything I didn't experience first-hand. I've
said it before and I'll say it again---hands down, I would rather drink
beer here in Minnesota. You may wish to argue with me, but it is the
truth. I hear the ads for Summit, and appreciate them because their
point is--imports are not better because they come from somewhere else.
Don't miss an opportunity for great beer because it's local. An odd
statement, but it seems that is what is happening.
Next time you're out, stop by one of the brewpubs. Or buy a six pack of
Summit, St Croix, Page, Superior, Gluek, Schell's, Mantorville. Because
it will truly be a sad day when locally made beer is brewed in Missouri,
or Oregon, or California....

Hey all,
As we all know, New Year's Eve falls midweek this year. We anticipate many of you will not have the time for that "special" celebration, so we have put together a special evening here for you at the Minneapolis Townhall Brewery.(1430 Washington Ave. S.)
We have arranged for a live jazz band to play throughout the evening/night to accompany a special reservation only, white tablecloth dinner. Our kitchen has put together a great menu that features three generous courses with a beverage to accompany each coarse..yes we will feature some very special beer. Seating is available from 7-10pm. All this for just $27.95 per person and $50.00 per couple....pint clubbers you get an a $2.50 discount per member. I will send a full menu soon, although please ask your server for more details when you come to the beer release Friday(13th). Remember Friday 5-6pm pints of "Trouble"-our winter warmer for just $1
Cheers
Mike
The phrase "actions speak louder than words" seems to apply here. I
only wish I could help out Damian but a basement brewery has few
employment opportunities. I can only wish him the best of luck and
thank him for making such excellent beer. What sizes are his tanks?

Speaking of lamenting the demise of a brewery....
David Berg
President, Minnesota Craft Brewer's Guild
Head Brewer, Bandana Brewery
http://www.mncraftbrew.org
Friends,
with great regret I would like to inform all of the closing of
the
Sherlock's Home brewpub as of December 31st. Thank you to all who have
supported Sherlock's and myself over the last three years. Unless a buyer
comes through before the end of the month I will cease to be gainfully
employed in the new year. As a result, if any members of the Craft
Brewers
Guild, or anyone else for that matter, know of a position in the brewing
or
related industries that may be available in the near future, I would
greatly
appreciate if that information could be forwarded to me.
I look forward to having a pint with you all in the very near future.
Cheers, Damian McConn.
Support your local brewery.

Greetings,
Just an update.
We will be doing Pinot (from anywhere, Burgundy prefered)
at the 510 Restaurant this Wednesday 12/11 at 6:30 pm.
I'll make the reservation today. There's a chance that
they will be doing a large "pre-theatre" seating (YEAH!)
and so they may not be able to seat us until 7:00 or so.
I hope to clear that up, post it to the list, ASAP.
For now, the appted time is 6:30.
The 510 Restaurant
510 Groveland Ave

Please call Bob or Jim if you have any questions.

Hi Fellow Fun Lovers,
Come to the Town Hall on Friday the 13th and get into some "Trouble". From 5-6pm this Friday (yes the 13th) try the winter warmer for just $1 per pint. This is a classic English Strong Ale, full of flavor and character. Ruby red in color, rich in thick malt sweetness, with a balancing hop presence that is not overpowering. After work, come on down and have a try.....just remember this beer is named "Trouble" for a reason
Happy Holidays,
Mike
Hey all,
We are having our final WestSide Meeting of the year
at the Water Tower, where we will be holding a wake
for the sadly defunct brewery. If Dave's Beer is gone,
we can adjourn elsewhere if so desired ...
Meeting will be Thursday, 12/19 @ 7:00 pm.
Cheers
WH
