    Brew at the Zoo beer/social event is happening on Friday aug 13 at the MN Zoo. I don't think it's sold out yet. hope to see you there - last year was a blast.

    (PS Tickets are $55 for free beer / food / music. Come on and support the Zoo! I think they are about a year away from going broke and getting bought out by Target. Or selling ad space on the animals.)

    I'll be there with my GF and two of her friends. I live 2 miles from it, we might walk so we don't have to worry about driving home :)

    Do you at least get a beer break? ;)

    good idea. I hope the weather cooperates for you. I would offer you a backup ride, but my car will already be at capacity.

    $55 no thanks. you can buy enough brewing supplies to brew 4 batches or so with that price. I like how it says local brews and it has a pic of the Lift Bridge guys on there....not local.

    Lotsa local folks will be there: August Schell, Finnegan's, Flat Earth, Lift Bridge, Summit, Surly... Brau Brothers will be there, and they grow their barley and hops at their brewery in MN. That's pretty local.

    Cheers,
    -trev

    PS. Lift Bridge is based in Stillwater MN. Brewed in MN, WI.

    Brau brothers makes some 'interesting' beers. Lift Bridge is a group of guys living in Stillwater and Brewing some 3 or so hours into WI. They dont even have their own brewery, they contract brew. I just dont like how they try and fool people into thinking they are local when they are not. Otherwise they make some decent beers.
