Fall Journey to Babble: “badger badger badger”

  By

By popular demand, a fall Journey to Babble beer tour has been created! This will be a smaller trip, with only one 100% confirmed location:

Badger Hill Brewing
2805 Winner's Circle Dr
Shakopee, MN 55379

Badger Hill shares a building with Bravi's Craft Mexican Kitchen, so there's good food to go with good beer.

After filling up on food and some beer, we'll make a decision where to go next. There are two locations nearby in downtown Shakopee, both very close together:

Mana Brewing Company
129 Holmes St S
Suite 100
Shakopee, MN 55379

Mana has brick-fired pizza, and cocktails in addition to beer.

Shakopee Brewhall
124 First Avenue East
Shakopee MN 55379

The Brewhall has beer as you'd expect, and also coffee (if we get there before 3pm).

Hope to see y'all somewhere along the tour!

Brewery Tour 2023: That Which Imbibes

  By
Our (mostly) annual Beer Tour will be Saturday, May 20, starting at noon. This year's tour covers the vast space of one single block in Minneapolis. You heard that right -- park once, walk to four different taprooms!

Locations

StormKing Brew Pub & BBQ
https://www.stormkingbrewpub.com
We'll start here and grab some delicious BBQ! They also have house-brewed beers, or cocktails or wine if you're not a beer person.
After filling up, we'll just wander along to the next places. These are all within a block or so, so I have no particular order in mind. Go where you want, when you want!
Number 12 Cider
https://number12cider.com
Ciders, wine, and cocktails. Wood-fired pizza from Little Tomato Pizza right outside the door.
Fulton Beer
https://www.fultonbeer.com
Fulton has a kitchen, along with beer and seltzers.
Inbound BrewCo
https://inboundbrew.co
Beer and selzers, plus the Philly Xpress food truck if you're still hungry...
Not enough for you? Wander down 6th Ave a block past Fulton and find First Draft Taproom & Kitchen. Hang a right on 3rd St from there, hey look it's Modist Brewing! Right across the street from Bricksworth Beer!

Parking

Metered parking is available all along 5th St. Free 2-hour parking is also available on 10th Ave, which is about two blocks further up 5th St.

No Road Rally this month…

  By ,

I'm sorry to say this, but there won't be a Road Rally after this month's membership meeting. A very large project at work has eaten up just about all of my free time, so I haven't been able to get out and run the course. I will reschedule this for the fall, when I'm more likely to have some free time -- assuming my employers don't find some other huge project to dump on me...

Again, I'm so, so sorry. My apologies to all who were looking forward to the Road Rally; I place myself at your mercy.
