Common Roots Cafe We just ran out of Surly Darkness. Our great beer week continues with Harvestor -- a fresh hopped ale from Lift Bridge Brewing made with hops they grew themselves!

Common Roots Cafe

Common Roots Cafe It's a perfect day for beer cheese soup made with Surly Furious. And we still have a few glasses of Darkness left.

Common Roots Cafe We just ran out of Surly Wet, but it's replaced with another fresh hopped beer that I believe isn't available anywhere else in the Cities -- Brau Bros Fresh Hopped Lager. A lightly hoppy lager made with fresh hops they grow by their brewery in Lucan, MN. We still have about a 1/4 keg of Surly's Darkness left.

Common Roots Cafe

Common Roots Cafe Thanks to everyone who came out last night for Darkness and to Surly Brewing for making a Tuesday in October a big beer night. We're now abt 2/3 through our keg. It will probably run out tonight.

Common Roots Cafe Darkness (Russian Imperial Stout) from Surly Brewing is on tap. Good from the first sip, and if you're patient, it gets better when it's a little warmer.

and why can't/won't you put a keg in a ' kegerator' at 50 degrees, just asking there are no wrong answers

We have a keg cooler with space for 20 kegs. And unfortunately our counter has no space for a kegerator. But we do adjust the temperature slightly depending on what beer we have on tap. Plus I like waiting a bit and seeing the beer open up with new flavors.

Common Roots Cafe Surly Darkness (Russian Imperial Stout) is coming tomorrow! It comes once a year, and goes fast. It's the beginning of a big beer week for us. Wednesday we'll be getting Harvestor from Lift Bridge Brewing (fresh hopped IPA) and later in the week we'll have a fresh hopped lager from Brau Bros Brewing in Lucan, MN.

Common Roots Cafe The Wellstone plane crash was 7 years ago today. We lost great leaders who inspired countless people to work for positive change in their communities. And great advocates for family farmers. We miss them but are happy to do a small part to carry on their legacy.

Common Roots Cafe Great luck -- another bar decided not to take a keg of Surly Wet so we got another keg! It's back on tap today. Next Tuesday we'll be getting a keg of Darkness -- Surly's Russian Imperial Stout with a crazy following.
