It's in our backyard this year, so we're going to go throw down with the rest of the brewing universe. I'm guessing we'll meet some people and learn some stuff. We'll also visit with our friends Tracy and Doug at Metropolitan Brewing. Word.

Happy Gnome Beer Dinner
Where? St. Paul, MN
Oooooh, boy - we're going St. Paul to eat and drink at one of the Midwest preeminent beer-centric restaurants (I'm told we're calling them "Gastro-pubs" now...) Nick and the gang have treated us well since we got into the Minnesota market, and we enjoy any opportunity we have to return some love. This event is pre-ticketed. Get yours while you can: the food (and beer!) is awesome. The company won't suck, either.
