Brewery Tour 2023: That Which Imbibes

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.

ZooBoo Time!

Como Zoo's Zoo Boo is FINALLY HERE!

Celebrate Halloween without the Fright

All proceeds support the plants and animals of the Como Zoo and Conservatory.  The Nokomis has been helping out with this event since 1994 (this is our 21st event).  We really want to help keep one of America's last free-admission zoos free.

Como Zoo will be transformed for Zoo Boo October 17th, 18th; and October 24th – 25th. Gates Open: 4:30-7:30 p.m. We're just four nights this year, so let's make them count.

Volunteering

Como Friends are starting to gear up for our annual Como Friends ZooBoo at Como Zoo event and hope that you can join us again!  You can register to volunteer at the link below so the Zoo knows you're coming.  Drop Phill a line as well so we can let you know about last minute changes.  ZooBoo volunteer application link:  https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/ap?AP=1906767573

Prep

On the morning of the first event night, Saturday October 17th, we'll be in full-on work to complete setups before the event.  We start at 8AM and hopefully we'll be done before the gates open.

Event

Our folks will be heading up the new Halloween station, just inside the front gate.  We need to get there early (3PM), but we get done first.    Be sure to sign in up on the second floor of the Big Zoo Building - there are goodies for you there, and perhaps a surprise coupon.

Dinner

Be sure to check with our folks at the first station, we'll get details there about the night's repast!  Hope to see you all there, all the time!
