Summit Brewery Private Tour Auction

by Steve Fletty

This is the last call to bid on a private tour of Summit with founder Mark Stutrud or head brewer Damien McConn. The tour includes beer and snacks. These tours happen only a few times each year and you likely won't get another shot at this. Bids will close at 5 PM on Friday 2/28. All proceeds from the auction will go to benefit Kathy Stock who is battling brain cancer. Go here to bid: mashout.org/auction.html

Fwd: Home brewers

by Brett Glenna

Here's a potential opportunity if anyone is interested. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: jeff paridon <jparidon(a)eot.com> Date: Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 4:32 PM Subject: Home brewers To: brettglenna(a)gmail.com Hi Brett, I wasn't quite sure who to contact so I thought I would begin with you and perhaps you could steer me in the right direction or pass this email along. My name is Jeff Paridon. My wife, Robbie and I own the Station House Restaurant in Preham, MN. It is in the heart of the Lakes country and very popular with the tourists. We are currently remodeling the restaurant and updating our theme to casual fine dining. Attached to the restaurant is a small bar/lounge that we don't care to operate. We do serve a fairly large amount of alcoholic beverages in the restaurant, but to operate a bar requires more time than either of us can afford to dedicate. My thoughts have been turning more and more to a Brew pup or Microbrewery instead of just the same old "bar" attached to the restaurant. But once again, we don't have the time (or knowledge) to undertake this sort of project. So, we are looking for some home brewer that wants to try their hand at operating a Brew Pup. We would be willing to sit down and discuss any proposals any of your members may have. I truly believe that this could be a very profitable and rewarding venture for all involved. Following is a link to our facebook page so anyone interested can view the restaurant. It is very nice and has an ideal location (1st and Main) in downtown Perham. https://www.facebook.com/perham.stationhouse Our web page is currently under construction as well and will launch prior to our re-opening in late April. If you have any interested parties, please pass this email along and tell them to feel free to contact me. Thanks for your time, Jeff Paridon
