Never too early to start thinking about the next MHBA meeting (esp. since there is a change of date from the calendar). Saturday, July 26th from 1-4 pm Flat Earth Brewing Company2035 Benson AvenueSaint Paul, MN 55116 Jeff Williamson will be providing a brewery tour and answering questions. Growlers and swag will be available for purchase. But wait, there is more. He is organizing a PIG ROAST for us! So, make sure to bring *plenty* of friends and family, because there will be lots to pork eat. Bringing other potluck food items and beer is highly encouraged. See you there! _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?

FW: Flat Earth July Update

by alboyce＠comcast.net

News about Flat Earth Brewing... Original Message: ----------------- From: Jeff Williamson brewer(a)flatearthbrewing.com Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:02:37 -0500 To: Flat(a)mpls-qmqp-01.inet.qwest.net, Earth(a)mpls-qmqp-01.inet.qwest.net, Believers(a)mpls-qmqp-01.inet.qwest.net Subject: Flat Earth July Update Greetings true believers, June was a crazy month for us! We finally received our labels and weve been pushing beer out the door ever since. It will take us a few more weeks to get caught up so you should see our beers returning soon to the shelves of your favorite store. Growler sales have been awesome so stop in at the brewery and grab some. We usually have 4-5 varieties always available including seasonals and Curly Tail which is on tap at all St. Paul Saints home games. Sale dates are at the brewery every Thursday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.. We are back at the Taste of Minnesota this year! Look for the Belgian pale ale and Element 115 to be available for the 4-day (July 3-6) festival on Harriet Island. Elite Brands Distribution of Michigan made us an offer we just couldnt refuse. Cases of Belgian pale ale, Element 115 and Angry Planet are now on their way to Michigan, Ohio and Colorado. Start looking for Flat Earth around Kalamazoo, Columbus and Denver! Look for the release sometime in mid-July of our new seasonal beer Ovni Ale, a French style biere de garde. Ovni is French slang for flying saucer and we had a lot of fun creating the design for the label. It is a wonderfully malty amber French farmhouse ale fermented with our house lager yeast and aged for a couple of months for a smooth yet hearty ale. Dont miss it. Other Flat Earth events this July include the Haskells Beer cruise on the 15th. Then its off to Clayton, WI for the 16th annual Clayton Lions beerfest. The next tour is July 26th at 4 p.m. We hope to see you soon! Cheers! Jeff & Cathie Williamson -------------------------------------------------------------------- myhosting.com - Premium Microsoft® Windows® and Linux web and application hosting - http://link.myhosting.com/myhosting

FW: AHA Member Discounts - WineStyles of Woodbury

by alboyce＠comcast.net

Here's another source for great beer, plus a good deal for AHA members! As the AHA EvangeALEist for our club, I can get you a $5 discount for new or renewing memberships in the AHA - drop me a line if you're interested. - Al Original Message: ----------------- From: cilson cwilson(a)cdwventures.com Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:47:09 -0700 (PDT) Subject: AHA Member Discounts Hey all, I hope this post will not be received by the group as promotional in nature, because that is not my intent. I am a proud AHA member of more than 15 years now, and would like to extend an offer to fellow homebrewers. Out of frustration over poor availability of craft beers in the local market, Ive recently started inventorying classic European styles on a rotating basis in my wine shop that are featured in free weekly beer tastings. Ive informally extended a 10% discount to my customers who are AHA members, but would like to get the word out to share these gems with other enthusiasts. The beers are not only offered in the store during the free tastings (Saturdays 2-5pm). I'm compiling a book for special order that is now more than 300 SKUs. Ill try and locate any particular label that may not be available retail the area, and will ship at cost if my location is not convenient for you. Some Belgian glassware is also available, but supply is a bit spotty. Feel free to contact me directly. Cheers!

Blue Nile celebration

by Gera Exire La Tour

If you haven't been to the Blue Nile, you should stop by. The Ethiopian food is quite good, but the beer selection is rather unexpected. Al McCarty has us beer geeks in mind! Next Saturday is his birthday celebration. -Gera If you haven't been to the Blue Nile, you should check it out. Al McCarty has been June 28, 2008 - 4:00 pm June 28th, starting at 4:00 pm at the Blue Nile: 2027 Franklin Ave. E., Minneapolis >From MNbeer.com: Al McCarty is turning 40 in a couple of weeks, so to celebrate his official “over the hill” status, he’s throwing a party at The Blue Nile on Saturday, June 28th. Beer will flow. I promise. In fact, Al has provided a preliminary lineup: 4:00 pm Tyranena Dirty Old Man. (Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Rye Porter) 4:30 Cask of Rush River Bubblejack IPA. 5:00 Tyranena Devil Over A Barrel Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Oatmeal Porter 5:30 Cask of Bell’s Two Hearted Ale 6:00 Tyranena’s new Brewer’s Gone Wild entry, Scurvy, IPA brewed with orange peel. 6:30 Surly Oak-Aged CynicAle 7:00 One small keg of Surly Two the 4-6 2-4-1’s will be in effect, but not for the cask pints, which will be reasonably priced (probably $3), and not for the 6:00 tapping, either, which will be 12 oz pours, because it is a small keg. The old man will be pouring, until 7 after which time AARP will call and tell him that he must take a break and sit on the other side of the bar. None of this is set in stone right now, but it’ll give you a good idea of what might be available that night. Al says that presents aren’t necessary, though I suggest he won’t protest if you give him a nice bottle of hard-to-find craft beer. Also, check out the great article about Al and the Blue Nile in last week's Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/dining/19837114.html?location_refe… _________________________________________________________________ The i’m Talkathon starts 6/24/08.
