If you have the weekend open and wonder what they do for homebrew up north,
why not head to the little town of Effie, MN.
Each year the Boreal Brewers of Bemidji conduct a beer tasting in Effie, MN
as part of a weekend club campout.
They refer to this as great pleasures from small measures, where they share
homebrew with the local community.
Everyone gets an opportunity to introduce/describe their homebrew before
they share it and the locals pick their favorites.
Usually a pretty good size crowd and the bar owner helps to provide some
live music.
This year will be the 10th annual Summer Beer tasting - a tasting of home
fermented beer, wines and meads
Saturday June 18th - it typically has started at 5PM at the Neighborhood Bar
in beautiful downtown Effie, MN
I had a great time last year, carrying my beer up on a Harley. The Boreal
Brewers are a great group and the tasting is a good time.
Subject: Effie Tasting
Mark your calendars, the official date has been set. The Effie tasting is
June 18. As per usual, those intrepid souls who wish to make a weekend out
of it will camp at either the Bass or Larson lake campgrounds. See you
there! Our sympathies for those who can't attend.
