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.

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.
