Looking for something to do this afternoon? Check out the free brewery tour over at Flat Earth Brewery.

From MNBeer:

Check out how Jeff works his magic to create Flat Earth beer during their September brewery tour. Afterward, he suggests the group head over to Groveland Tap for their beer festival. So, get that pesky to do list accomplished in the morning and spend the afternoon enjoying great beer.

Got Beer?

Earlier I’d mentioned September means good beer. Metromix has done a run-down of the Oktoberfesty stuff coming up in the Twin Cities and some related resources. Check out the links below for more info, or the link below the block quote for their summary page.

From Metromix:

Here in the Twin Cities, we like to usher in autumn in hearty Germanic style, and if you want to participate in the fun, then we’d like to show you where to have some good Bavarian suds, and where to get your polka-party on.

Below you’ll find the best German bars in the Twin Cities, a line up of some of the best Oktoberfest parties and some photos from last year’s chaos at the always-fun Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit.

As the days grow cooler, the thought of a heavier, more flavorful beer is more appealing than when it’s 95 and humid out. And with events like Oktoberfest and the MN Craft Brewers’ Associations Autumn Brew Review, there’s no excuse for not getting out and trying something a little more interesting than Miller Lite (which I’ve been drinking unhappily most of the summer).

So here’s to cooler months and the beer that keeps us warm.

No, this isn’t just a sales pitch to move my spare pair of Autumn Brew Review tickets, although they are still available…
