Beer Release

by brewmaster＠townhallbrewery.com

Hey All, Spring is here????? That means one thing....St.Patricks Day! We will release our annual beer (Pot of Gold Potato Stout) for the event this Thursday 3/11. Stop in this Thursday at the Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery and give it a shot for just $1 per pint from 5-6pm. Many of you like to float this beer over the IPA. Will it float or not? You will have to come and try it to find out. I can promise you it will float on the beer that we hope to release next week. If you are good and drink the rest of the Blackberry Wheat by next Thursday we will release BIG TICKET DOUBLE IPA. This is a beer Josh and I made months ago and are very pleased with...if you think we have made some hoppy beers before, you have not seen anything yet. Don't worry we made it sweet enough to balance the bitterness....a little If you like Grand Cru, drink it now because the LAST keg is tapped Mike

Chili Chili Chili

by Rick Oftel

Howdy club members. Tex here with an exciting invite for y'all to our first annual Chili Contest. It's true folks, we heard rumors of chili shortages from Iowa to Canada; you must be preparing for the big event. It's also true I recently returned from a wonderful week in Texas. In case you haven't heard or really just dislike chili, the club is also having a swap meet so you may be able to swap some of your unused really neat beer stuff for somebody elses' really neat and unused beer stuff. You get the picture. Cook your best chili and come down or over or up to the CSPS hall this Saturday, March 13. The big event starts around 2:30. If you don't know where the CSPS hall is, go to the Glockenspiel (on west 7th in St. Paul) and find the stairway to the second floor. If you have a really really heavy container or need assistance, use the elevator available from the side door entrance. Remember, to enter the contest you need to follow the rules. Bring your best Red (no beans); Anything goes (yep); or Green (verde). Include the recipe (meaning the recipe you actually used). Judging starts after everything is warm. The club currently has a medium large supply of throw away bowls but is low on plastic silver ware. Please bring your own spoon. Ok, let's review. This Saturday, bring you chili and beer stuff to the contest. Go home with chili breath, a smile, and new beer stuff! See you Saturday - Rick O MHBA Member at large

got recipe?

by Steve Fletty

Chili recipe, that is, for the first annual MHBA Chili Cookoff? The prize committee has been busy gathering chili-related prizes. The panel of judges is ready. One contender tells me he's making his famed Dead Guy chili. I asked if he uses real dead guys, but he says it's a secret. Might want to avoid that one. Don't forget the beer, chips, salsa, cornbread, etc. See you at the CSPS Hall on 3/13 at 2:30.
