Brace yourselves, I'm going to write it.... 10/25/08 WINTER !!! It's here! Whether you like it or not the Weather is about to turn against us, mocking our human fragility. Daring us to go out side, away from all our cozy warm technology. You know the ONLY thing that gets me outside when it's cold enough to shatter fruit is good beer. In particular WINTER beer! Assuming you didn't spend all your beer budget at Surly's "D day" today, below is a short list of Winter newcomers to the Firkins. The Four Firkins on Face Book. That's right, I have made a little page on facebook for the store. It has lots of photos from various events as well as some pics from all the way back in May when we were doing the buildout. If you are a regular you may see pics of yourself on there. More photos will be added soon. You can check it out here: Four Firkins Face <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001tkKH3yNcZmMS1Qp0PP1ljT_BIBZ0REa8IxKOku2FVgLrxPTo ZjDz2TngtIprmp-_0hGPjAq7Zt4m9QExHimmDM7W7vAPVyk2na2ZQLNth9H3mj2juOr4LqW94vJN NVRlFankMun0fkGU-vPnff4nNu0ov2uW0IsJYgaor-enIkpwV1_ST49vZo_Mpke2QMiCvKc9gxYi t8CD8zEtdVyng-07B0mFI3MgP-RoiQk0FiU8qTiXhuLZ--Xp05vpHZdU> Book Page Become a fan!

They describe it as a reddish brown bock with a complex maltiness, hints of spicy rye, sourdough and chocolate. It's brewed with nine different malts including loads of Munich and a touch of Rye.

Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day--Nov. 1st

by John Longballa

Please mark your calendars for the Minnesota Homebrewers Associations fifth annual celebration of national Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day. Details follow below. Grab that friend or rellie who has threatened to learn homebrewing and bring him or her to Barley Johns on Saturday, November 1st, 10-2. He or she could win an entire homebrewing kit, courtesy of Brew & Grow, Midwest Supplies, or Northern Brewer. The cider pick-up will also happen during this meeting. Homebrew is welcome at Barley Johns, but please remember to purchase copious quantities of their excellent beers and food as well. Generous tipping helps a lot. I need a few folks to demo brew. The club will provide the equipment and ingredients. You need to brew an extract batch for the assembled throngs, explaining the process and having them stir the wort, add hops, etc. Then you get to take home five gallons in your own carboy. Usually the beer then is served at the club Christmas party, but that isnt a requirement. Please let me know if youre willing to tackle this. This is also a great opportunity to renew your membership before the year is out. Please feel free to distribute this notice far and wide. Thanks much, John Longballa LEARN TO HOMEBREW FOR FREE! SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1st 10:00 a.m.2:00 p.m. BARLEY JOHNS BREWPUB Come celebrate National TEACH-A-FRIEND-TO-HOMEBREW DAY with the Minnesota Homebrewers Association, Saturday, November 1st, from 10-2 at Barley Johns Brewpub, 781 Old Highway 8, New Brighton.

As usual there are only 35 places available so if you came to the last one please be fair and don't try to sign up for this one as well. We have to let everyone have a go! For those of you who are new to all of this the "Bitter Brawl" is a super fun beer tasting class with lots of audience participation. We try six different pale ales and IPA's and duke it out with each other as to which is the best example of each. Ultimatley we end up with one best of show. Be prepared - you will be expected to defend you beer!!! As well as being a super nice bloke, Michael Agnew is a certified Beer Judge <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001fqMMD5j92-RsagIK3YtHh4U2cy0wyXssCNH2XxWoTal3i9L_ 4wxAMwtYKZpRZfk8OwccdynsUbatcjoh_0HJupT8AW2jijzYFwFbroAs1Nd3xCY14iZV4g==> and is the owner of A Perfect Pint <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001fqMMD5j92-Rx19WCeZDIpu9VU_WyZZ79MJm-gLEzIIzzySaR tZhnD4PCMzhRvCtvZChGCSZismPZHAkm-UtEtA3-nDPQ41MOuowkQt3wJhzrafJ_U_3I-g==> .

To sign up for the event on the 27th just email alvey(a)thefourfirkins.com Due to the massive response we get every time we announce one of these classes we are going to do things a bit differently this time. It will be a random lottery. Submit your email request by 5pm Monday 20th and if your name is chosen you'll get an email letting you know that you're in. If you don't hear back from us that means you missed out on this one. Please include "Bitter Brawl" in your emails subject line. The class will cost $15. No coupons this time, sorry! Good luck! Alvey & Sean. Sierra Nevada - Wet Hop Harvest Ale Absolutely Soaking Wet Hops! Created in 1996, Harvest Ale features Cascade and Centennial hops from the Yakima Valley in Eastern Washington. These hops are harvested and shipped as "wet" un-dried hops-the same day they are picked-to our brewery in Chico where our brewers eagerly wait to get them into the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at their peak. 6.7% ABV Wet Hop Sierra Nevada <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/34.jpg?a=11022 87074118> On the shelves at The Firkins right now! Boulevard Brewing - Saison with Brett Smokestack series # 5 Boulevard is really going to TOWN these days, pulling out ALL the stops with this Smokestack series of theirs. The latest offering is a small batch release of a Saison with Brett ( read - funky wild yeast ! ). Saisonbrett <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/35.jpg?a=11022 87074118> On the shelves right now! Cantillon Iris Very rare beer! Iris is made in the style of lambic - fermented by wild yeasts and aged in oak wine casks at the brewery - but with a couple of big differences. First, it is made entirely from malted barley, whereas traditional lambic uses one third unmalted wheat. In addition, the brewery has used fresh Hallertau hops in the boil and for dry-hopping the Iris. (Traditional lambic calls for hops that have been aged for several years, which impart virtually no hop flavor to the finished product.) Iris is a rare and unusual treat to thrill the connoisseur of traditional Belgian beers - absolutely, utterly unique. CantillonIris <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/36.jpg?a=11022 87074118> Needless to say, we don't have many of these.... Bells Brewing - Hell Hath No Fury! American "Dubbel" A brew that gives you either sympathy for the devil or the courage to face him. Goes especially well with your favorite lost my girl/truck/dog/trailer song. 7.7 % ABV this is a very small batch from Bells, it'll only be around for a few weeks, it's a huge beer, malty and complex. Absolutely worth a try.
