What’s happening in the Twin Cities this spring? Use this thread to share info on events, tappings etc.

Happy Gnome Firkin Fest is tomorrow. The beer list posted on the event’s Facebook page features some interesting stuff.

As in other years, all RBers should feel free to crash at the property, with the usual caveats.

For all of you who fell in love at Levi’s tasting, you can find Pabst Old Tankard Ale at O’Garas in St. Paul.

Yes, I love it. What I really miss is the Solstice Weiss, maybe the best hefeweizen ever. They said Dancing Man was Solstice renamed but I’m not sure; the Dancing Man alcohol is considerably higher.

It is one of the best looking beers I can think of. Tons of carbonation; tall head, and it looks like egg yolk as the yeast moves down the glass.
