For anyone who is interested there are two four-packs of Samiclaus (2001) left
at the Cellars liquor store in the Country Village shopping center NW corner
of highway 7 and county road 73 in Minnetonka. $13.99 each.

"good enough" seldom is
Hope Santa was good to you all-
As part of our New Years Eve Dinner(some seating still available)we will release Barrel Aged Jester's Reserve Imperial Porter. ONLY ONE KEG!
This was brewed in June and has been aging in an oak whiskey barrel since July. It is pretty strong and super good. That keg will be tapped for the dinner and the rest will be available to sell(if there is any left). This will be sold in 10 ounce glasses only. Sorry...with this one no intro price discount.
Happy New Year
Mike
Hi Everyone, Hope your Holidays have been good to you. Bob and I and Ray
Taylor are heading down to Sherlock's tomorrow (Saturday). Should be there
between 2-3:00. If anyone has time to kill for a few hours and needs to
sample some of the last Sherlock's beverages we should would like to visit.
Hope to see you there and if not Happy New Year,
Susan
I missed out last year because I waited too long and they sold out.

John-
I'm sorry you and Dawn had a bad experience at St.Cloud Granite City. I
have been there 3 or 4 times, and the beer has always been superb. But
that's before the wort-shipping scheme got started. I thought that Bob was
still brewing his own up there, but maybe it's switched over to ready-made
wort now.

John responds:
As I mentioned in an e-mail to this list serve a few weeks ago, my
girlfriend Dawn and I were very disappointed with St. Cloud's Granite City's
beer when we stopped there in June on the way home from the bluegrass
festival. We make a point of seeking out every brewpub on any trip we take
(we're right now hitting about 8 Colorado brewpubs this week!), and have
probably been to 30 in our various adventures. We both concurred that the
beer at Granite City was the worst we had experienced at any brewpub in MN,
CO, WA, WI, ND, or TX. We had never given a brewpub's entire line of beers
a complete thumbs-down before we visited Granite City. Each brewpub had at
least one very good beer (we always get the sampler platter) or had a slew
that were passable. There seemed to be a flaw in each of Granite City's
offerings, and we left much of each sample. There are plenty of brewpubs
that produce only mediocre beers, but this was the first place we had sought
out that didn't even get a grade of 'C.' Perhaps they were just having a
bad hops day?
On the topic of brewpubs, in today's Denver Post it was reported that Oasis
Brewing is closing their Boulder brewpub after New Year's Eve. It has been
in business for 11 years, so apparently, brewpubs aren't safe even in the
best beer state in the Union. Of course, there are five other Boulder
brewpubs, and the town is only 100,000 thirsty consumers strong. Oasis will
continue their brewing and bottling line.
That's all the news from Colorado. Happy Brew Year!
John

Does anybody know the best place [quality / price / et al] to get a keg
of Summit?
I used to go to house parties about 5+ years ago that had summit kegs...
So I know they exist.
I'd like to drag it along to where ever I end up for new year's so I'm
not stuck on MGD keg like last year. I don't have to worry about most
people drinking it [until the others go dry] because it's 'too bitter'
and 'too dark'.
Thx,
Ryan

Hi Rob,
I'll check into it when I get back into town.
Meanwhile, you could try and re-ad your name.
Note that the system is now "Ecartis", and is
not majordomo.
so send your request to
mba-reguest(a)thebarn.com
Best of Luck, Merry Christmas, Cheers,
Jim
