Park Tavern in St. Louis Park is serving two of Rush River Brewing's beers.
I had the porter this week - more roast than chocolate, but not bad.

This sounds like a description of Rush River Brewing Co. in Maiden Rock.
Their address is W4001 120th Ave., but having been through there a couple
months ago, I don't think the address helps. They said (at Midwest Brew
Review) that it is northeast of town, I think you follow the road that goes
to the cemetery (which is marked) and keep going. MapQuest might help.

The New Brewer award category was supposed to read New Entrant and is meant
for people who are new to brewing or new to entering a contest.
Some of our best judges will gently critique the New Entrant's beers. New
Entrants will not be competing againt any of the so-called Heavy Hitters who
perenially walk away with a medal for something.

Just a note to remind you that the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out (UMM) home
brew contest has
moved to January.
The contest dates are January 27-29th, 2005. That's the weekend before the
Super Bowl. You won't miss a minute of NFL playoff action.
This year the UMM will be the first contest in the High Plains Brewer of the
Year circuit. Curt Stock says he's going to cut down on his entries (I'll
believe that when it happens!) so the rest of us just might have a shot at
the title in 2005.
New this year for the contest:
-New Brewer award: a special award category just for new brewers,
complete with medals and prizes, open to any style of beer, cider or mead
-BJCP 2004 guidelines will be used
-more award categories: we're going to try to have awards for all 28
BJCP categories, but reserve the right to collapse categories as needed
-multiple mead award categories: all 3 BJCP mead categories will have
awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
-judge and steward prize drawing: there will be a seperate prize drawing
for all judges and stewards
-food at the awards show: no details yet, but we're working at having
food at the awards show at the Summit brewery
Keep checking our web site for details: http://mnbrewers.com/mashout
If you haven't taken part in the contest yet, we'd really love to see you
stop by to help judge or steward. It's fun! And only one of us bites but we
think there's a vaccine....

Ladies and Gentlemen--
Chris Burda at the Science Museum has approached me, asking if our club would be interested in a grant opportunity with the Museum. The application and grant info are at www.smm.org/cbso
Basically, they will give us $600 and three days of workshops to help us develop any kind of club project we are interested in. Two persons would need to each attend the three workshops (five hours per workshop), and the club can pay off the $200 earnest fee by volunteering 5 hours, but that volunteering can be in service to the club, I believe. Their point is to help develop science-type community organizations.
Chris describes it as being wide open. If we want to develop a piece of expensive equipment, we could use this money for that--if we want to organize the grandest Teach a Friend Day in history, we could do that--they would help us develop our focus for the money we get and the time we put in.
Dawn's mushroom club did this, and developed very cool membership-driving posters and events and purchased a slide projector for presentations.
I think that it could be a great opportunity, but we would need to put in some time, and the three workshops are three weekday afternoons, so that might present a snag. But, the sky really is the limit for what they would help us develop toward the best interest of the club. The first workshop is on October 13, so if we're interested, then we should act NOW. The other workshop days are in November and (I believe) January. Our best bet would be to find one person who could attend the three weekday afternoon workshops, and make that person the leader, and then to have one other person at each workshop. Anyone may participate in the project, but they need two people and preferably the same two people at all three workshops.
Check out the site, or e-mail me some questions. Chris Burda can be reached at 651.221.4719 or <cburda(a)smm.org>

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Brewer Anheuser-Busch says it will introduce a
caffeinated, sweet-flavored beer for twentysomething club goers to
compete with the flavored rums and vodkas gaining ground on the dance
floor.
The new beer B(E) -- read as "B to the E power" -- will roll out in
several phases starting in November.
"Distilled spirits are definitely in the background of this
decision," Bob Lachky, vice president of brand management at
Anheuser-Busch, said during a conference call Monday. "Sweeter
flavors have definitely made an impact on 21- to 35-year-olds. ...
It's a bigger part of the alcohol-drinking spectrum."
B(E) infuses beer with caffeine, guarana and ginseng, along with
berry aromas for a sweeter, yet more tart taste at 6.6 percent
alcohol by volume, said company brewmaster Nathaniel Davis.
Anheuser-Busch designed the new brew for 21- to 27-year-old drinkers
who seek novel beverages and switch drinks more frequently according
to mood and occasion, the company said.
"It's indicative of how seriously Anheuser-Busch is taking this
challenge from the liquor folks ... who are growing faster than
beer," said Eric Shepard, executive editor of industry newsletter
Beer Marketer's Insights, citing the popularity of flavored spirits
and energy drinks, such as Red Bull.
B(E) will be priced slightly higher than the company's flagship
Budweiser beer and packaged in slimmer 10-ounce cans.
"The majority of beer drinkers, and people we are trying to approach
with this product, are not terribly concerned with carbs all the
time," said Lachky.
Anheuser-Busch (BUD: Research, Estimates) shares closed down Monday
0.5 percent at $50.20 on the New York Stock Exchange.
