Summit - Saturday - January 10, 2004

by Rick Oftel

Ladies and Gentlemen how is your winter going? Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Have you fully recovered from the holiday season? Resolutions working out well? Need a lift? How about a beer? Summit Brewing and The Minnesota Homebrewers Association cordially invite our members to attend a formal meeting this Saturday at 3:30 at Summit in St. Paul. The brewery is located south of west 7th in the Crosby Business Center. Show up on time, participate in the meeting, ask questions, and pretend your home brewery just expanded. One of the most important things about beer is keeping yeast happy since yeast make the bitter wort into beer. Our host and owner Mark Stutrud has agreed to provide a short talk on yeast propagation and Summit usually maintains 5 or more yeast cultures for various beverages. There will also very likely be a beer or two somewhere in the agenda. Woven into the tour is our upcoming year of homebrewing adventures and we will be recruiting (twisting arms?) volunteers to help identify events, help with planning, and offer general support for the coming 2004 season. So that's all the news that is fit to print. Hope this message has reached you in time for the event and we look forward to seeing you next Saturday. Sorry if this message was delivered in error. Sincerely, Rick Oftel MHBA

I'M SUING! I've got a Doppelbock I've just bottled called "The Governator" (subtitled - "I'll Be Bock!").

The brewing veteran says the 3,200 cases bearing the Pumping Iron label are a humorous tribute to the 38th governor of California, "Terminator" actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The label had to be approved by both federal and state agencies. A spokesman for Schwarzenegger said nobody in the governor's office had noticed the beer, but they would check on it. Chicvara said the idea came to him while kidding around with his college-age kids and their friends, who like many had morphed the words "governor" and "terminator" into "governator." "And I thought that's good, that could be a beer," Chicvara said. "Sometimes we get carried away, but we did this for fun." The commemorative beer is being sold only in California. It's an extra special bitter ale that comes in a 22-ounce bottle with a label bearing a muscular figure posing like a body builder. Chicvara, meanwhile, promises the quality of the brew is excellent, with a smooth finish and bit of a bite. "It's no 'girly-man' beer," he said. Would you like to send this article to a friend?

Beer Release & Stuff

by townhallbrewer＠hotmail.com

Howdy Folks, You drank all of the barley wine.....so it's time to release another. This Thursday, 1/8, we will release another fine creation from Josh the Brewer.He crafted this really great..TAN..lager, not bitter or heavy, a real malty treat; how appropriate for the dead of winter, we named it "Lack'o'Tan Lager". Stop in this Thursday and try a pint (or a few) for just $1 from 5-6pm. Also, Winterfest draws near. It will be held Saturday January 17, from 6-9pm in friendly St.Paul. We have a great band lined up, and once again you can expect to find the finest brews available in this market on hand. Look for your favorite breweries from the metro, St. Cloud, Duluth, and the newest kid on the block Bandana Brewery of Mankato. ****Here is the important stuff***** We only have 50 tickets left. As many of you know this festival always sells out. It appears this year will be no different. If you want your share of those 50 remaining tickets simply... Swing into the Town Hall Brewery - Minneapolis, Great Waters - St.Paul, or Hops - Eden Prarie and pick up your tickets before they are gone. This may be a bit late.... Have a happy, safe, prosperous 2004 Mike
