Here are some beer related things going on around town:

  • On Saturday Fulton will introduce Lodestar Ale in partnership with The Bachelor Farmer and Marvel Bar. The Kolsch Ale brewed with rye was inspired by Nordic brewing and cuisine and will be available exclusively at the taproom and at The Bachelor Farmer/Marvel Bar until it runs out.
  • Summit Brewing is set to release Make it So which is the latest in the Unchained Series (number 19) and you can expect six packs of the Earl Grey tea infused ESB to hit store shelves next week. Speaking of Summit, they will be celebrating 29 years with the return of Backyard Bash on Saturday, September 12th from noon to 7 pm. Headlining the event will be The Suburbs and tickets will be $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Food trucks will be on site and half of the ticket proceeds will go to the Minnesota Music Coalition which supports the local independent music community.
  • Also on Saturday, September 12th will be Lift Bridge's annual Pickin' and Grinnin' event where you can help them hop their fresh hop fall brew. The event kicks off at noon and the party goes till 10 pm with music, food, and of course beer.
  • Fair State Brewing Cooperative is set to release its German-Style Sour Ale called Cromulence. This brew is made with lemon and orange zest and will be available exclusively at the taproom and at both Republic locations. This beer recently won Best Beer at All Pints North and is definitely worth seeking out.

Cheers!
