Hey All,
This Thursday(4-15) marks a very special day.....no I'm not talking about tax day.....It marks the start of summer at the Town Hall Brewery. Come down to the brewery this Thursday and have a Hefeweizen.....from 5-6pm pints are just $1.
The Maibock release/party date has been scheduled for May 15, it's official. We usually have it the first Saturday in May, but it worked out better this year for the third weekend of May. Pencil us in for that Saturday, all the fun you expect will be present. I am very happy with the Maibock this year, the best one yet.
Cheers
Mike

Sounds interesting.
Do you get a lot of maple flavor with this recipe?
Very subtle maple flavor in the background. That's why it once was a great
commercial beer!

Does anyone have Karl Bremer's recipe for Saint Croix Maple Ale?
Or - Karl, are you listening in? Is Schell still brewing your Saint Croix
Maple? Do you have a 5-10 gallon recipe you can share? Extract, partial
_or_ all grain is fine.
This is the award-winning extract recipe from which the original St. Croix
Maple Ale came. Schell's is not producing it anymore, and I am no longer
involved with the brand in any way. The recipe has been changed twice since leaving
Schell's, but I haven't seen the beer on the shelf in months.
Cheers!

Last call?? I've always hated hearing last call but it still happens.
The BJCP exam is scheduled for Saturday April 17th 2004.
We are finishing preparations for the exam and need a final count for

If anyone is planning to take the exam (either the full exam or a partial

Beer Fans,
You polished off the Big Ticket Double IPA. This Thursday (4/8) marks the release of another. "See Ya Later Porter" is the final recipe Josh made before he left the Minneapolis Town Hall for prosperity out West. Stop in this Thursday and try a pint of Porter for just $1 per pint between 5-6pm.
Also:
Today kicks off our "Twins Brat Special". Park at the ramp next to the Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, don't worry about your grill and cooler....Stop in at the brewery and enjoy our Twins special before home games. You get A fine brat, pile of fries for a special price. Also, bring the kids and we'll set them up with a root beer float for just $1 each. Don't worry we'll be easy on you when we check ID for a root float beer purchase.....at that point you are all kids to us.
Mike

This is a great way to meet another brewer/judge from out of town, help them
save a few $
and really help out the club. Similar programs have help some of our club's
judges when they have traveled to a competition.
If you have a room or two and would be willing to help by hosting a judge
for a few days, please respond to this e-mail with:
