[Great_Taste] Tickets are sold out on Saturday

by sentto-2978434-36-1083522199-jellings=me.umn.edu＠returns.groups.yahoo.com

They're gone, even faster than we expected. I hope everyone on this list observed the reminder to buy early. People who missed out last year clearly took the message to heart. Mail orders already in the system are being processed. If you already had an order in the mail in time to arrive on May 1 (but NOT postmarked any earlier than a few days before that--queue jumpers don't get tickets), you're probably okay. See you in August!! P.S. Probably the next time you'll see anything from this email group will be in August a few days before the event to notify you that the text of the program will be available for advance viewing. This list is for announcements only, not for member posts. Yahoo!

Fw: Homegrown week

by Dave Cox

More fun in Duluth... Dave -----Forwarded Message----- From: brewery(a)brewhouse.net Sent: May 2, 2004 2:24 PM To: north-shore-brewer(a)earthlink.net Subject: Homegrown week Greetings, It's the first week of May and that means Homegrown. We will release 3 new beers this week. Park Point Pilsener 5.5%. This is a German style hoppy lager. Cold aged for 2 months to give a smooth crisp flavor. Pale Wheat Lager 7.1%. This beer is made 100% from wheat malt. It was brewed to be similar to a wheat I P A but we fermented it with German Lager yeast then cellered the beer. The result is a beer with no yeast character but a big hop flavor balanced by the full wheat mouthfeel. On Thursday May 6th at 9 p.m. we will release 2004 Homegrown Hempen Ale 6.4% A west coast style amber ale brewed with hops and hemp. Available on Cask, Draft, and Growlers We have a limited supply of this beer, it is one of our favorites and we hope you enjoy it.

beer and low-carb diets

by Paul_Dienhart＠cargill.com

This article suggests that the South Beach diet's concern about beer drinking was based on the faulty idea that beer contains maltose. I'm not sure if links work on The Barn, but here's the url. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040422/cgth044_1.html Does this mean that Al Boyce gave up beer for no good reason?
