Let’s have a party

Has it been a year already?! WOW! Well then. I guess we’d better celebrate.

Come join us on Friday, April 10th, from 4-9pm as we celebrate a year of beer in the Burning Brothers taproom (BTW, this is our Grand Opening party…. oops!). We’ll have beer specials, prizes, beer specials, food, beer specials, fun, beer specials…. well, you get the idea. We’re still putting together the specifics, but we wanted to make sure to get the date on your calendar. Stay tuned for updates!

Other taproom happenings

Food on Friday features our friends from Rusty Taco who are here to satisfy and fulfill all your taco desires. Pairing off against the taco in the brewer’s choice offering is our American IPA. Decidedly hoppy and bitter with a citrus sweetness, this is a crisp and straight-forward session IPA that focuses on the flavors of Centennial and Chinook hops. ABV 4.5% ~ IBU 60 (Sorry, small batch on this one, so no growler fills).

UPDATE: We have tapped out of the American IPA.

OK, maybe not that, but we can dream. We are open Sunday from 2-8pm and you can enjoy a pint while while catching up with friends and family.

Get you G(r)eek On

NERD ALERT! This Saturday is Pi Day (i.e. 3/14/15). Come help celebrate a mathematical constant!

Burning Brothers is celebrating Pi Day by offering discounts on our flagship American pale ale. Pyro pints will be $3.14 all day long and we’ll be offering $3.14 off Pyro growler fills. But wait, there’s more! For every pint of Pyro purchased, you’ll be entered in our Pi(e) raffle featuring a variety of handmade sweets featuring Burning Brothers beer (all gluten-free of course; see pic above). Drawings at 3:00pm, 4:30pm, 6:00pm, 7:30pm & 9:00pm. Taproom is open until 10pm on Saturday.

Other taproom happenings

Thirsty Thursdays are on. Swing on down to the taproom tonight for $1 off pints and $2 off growlers fills. But remember, St Paul liquor laws say no growler fills after 8pm on school nights (i.e. Thursdays) so get here early. Taproom is open until 9pm.

Food on Friday once again showcases Chef T-Bone from Tollefson Family Pork Farm who offers all-natural meat products exclusively through Twin Cities farmers markets. Their gluten-free menu often includes housemade salsa with chips, wrap du jur with smoked sausage and/or sauteed veggie and cottage bacon a la carte.

As always, Friday brings us the latest offering in our brewer’s choice series with debut of our Belgian Strong Ale. Malty and rich with a noticeable heat, this beer asserts itself with a strong yet subtle sour from the Belgian yeast. ABV 7.7% ~ IBU 23 (Sorry, small batch on this one, so no growler fills). Taproom is open until 10pm on Friday.

UPDATE: We sold out of the Belgian Strong Ale on Saturday.

It’s already after 5pm on Friday, so I’ll spare you the usual rhetoric and get straight to the point. (OMG4REALZ!!1!)

Food on Friday (FoF) is Chef T-Bone from Tollefson Family Pork Farm whose all gluten-free menu includes:

• Housemade salsa with chips
• “Adult” Creamy/Spicy Mac n’ Cheese
• Wrap Du Jur with smoked sausage or sauteed veggie
• Cottage bacon a la carte

Brewer’s choice is Dane’s Dry Stout. As far as dry stouts are concern, this is one that is not going to make you pucker. With a bit of sweetness to balance the toast characteristics, the hints of coffee and chocolate really shine through. On the backside, the dryness of the malt makes itself known but does not linger. It is an easy drinking, enjoyable way to end…or start your day!  (IBU: 40 ~ ABV: 4.1%)

This weekend’s tap selection:

• Pyro American Pale Ale
• Roasted Coffee Ale
• Fused Cranberry
• Fused Orange Blossom Honey
• Dane’s Dry Stout (Brewer’s Choice)

Cheers!

Food on Fridays (FoF) again welcomes are local slinger of German-style dogs and bratwursts, Moondog Fancy Meats. Choose from a variety of meaty goodness (pork, beef and bison to name a few) and then pile them high with all the (un)usual toppings.

Meanwhile on the beer side, we continue our Friday tradition of Brewer’s Choice. This week we are featuring Dennis’s Black Pepper Porter. This beer starts with the aromas of chocolate and black currant and follows up with toast and cherry flavors along with a distinct black peppercorn finish. IBU: 27 ~ ABV: 3.5%

This weekend’s tap selection:

• Pyro American Pale Ale
• Roasted Coffee Ale
• Fused Cranberry
• Fused Orange Blossom Honey
• Dennis’s Black Pepper Porter (Brewer’s Choice)

Cheers!
