Spring Homebrew Tasting

News release              For immediate publication/airing

Boreal Brewers Homebrew Club                                   For more information contact:

Spring Homebrewed Beer Tasting                                Harvey Tjader (218) 444-5477

March 26, at the Keg 'n' Cork in Bemidji                      Jeff Edmonds (218) 586-2332

 

 

Boreal Brewers Homebrew Club is proud to announce a Spring tasting of home-brewed beers.  It will take place at 2:00 pm, Saturday, March 26, 2011, in the basement bar of the Keg 'n' Cork, 310 Beltrami Avenue in downtown Bemidji.

 

This event is open to the public.  The tasting will feature a wide variety of donated home fermented beers.  By giving away free samples in an informal setting, Boreal Brewers hopes to increase awareness of the fine art of homebrewing and the world's many styles of lagers and ales.  Past tastings average more than 20 different samples. 

 

Brewers are encouraged to contribute beers for tasting.  Eight to ten 12-ounce bottles of each beer is usually enough to go around.  Anyone bringing beers to share should arrive one-half hour early so we can place them in proper order for tasting. 

 

Local musicians will provide musical interludes during the tasting.   A small cover charge defrays the cost of hall rental, entertainment and supplies only.  The cover charge is not for the purchase of any alcoholic beverages, as all home-brewed beers are donated by the brewers and samples are distributed free for tasting.

 

The Boreal Brewers Home Brew Club was organized in 1991 and is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to the advancement of the art, science and appreciation of homebrewing by providing a forum for the exchange of homebrewing products, information and expertise. The club has members from many northern Minnesota communities, everywhere from Park Rapids to Grand Rapids.

Return of the Red Lake Walleye on PBS Sunday January 16th

Niijiinad/Friends, tune in to Lakeland Public TV, Channel 9 (over the air, cable and satellite) at 9:30 PM Sunday January 16th for the half hour broadcast of "Return of the Red Lake Walleye.  A synopsis of the program follows.
Weweni,
Omakakii

THE STORY
Broadcast version running time: 28 minutes, 46 seconds

Broadcast "Return of the Red Lake Walleye": Fact Sheet

The Native Nations Institute film Return of the Red Lake Walleye chronicles the extraordinary effort of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians—working together with the State of Minnesota and the federal government—to bring back the culturally vital walleye from the brink of extinction and restore it to health in Red Lake. It examines how the Band and State overcame decades of bad blood to forge an innovative public policy solution that puts cooperation before conflict and science before politics, fueling an amazing recovery that has defied the odds.

A compelling example of tribal sovereignty in practice, Return of the Red Lake Walleye documents the significance of the walleye's return for the Red Lake community, its people, the tribe as a whole, and those generations yet to come.

Pamda Penguin Plunge Benefit January 29th

The second annual "Pamda Penguin Plunge" will be held during the "Back to Hack" winter celebration on January 29, from 1 to 2 pm at the City Park on Birch Lake.  The event is sponsored by Pamda (Pines Area Medical Development Association to benefit the local clinic.  The event, held last year for the first time, earned about $8,000.

People may participate as an individual jumper or as a part of a team.  Sponsors are sought to support entrants.  Some business are seeking donations in order to secure a particular individual's appearance in the cold water.  Prizes will be awarded to the individual and the team earning the most money.

Registration forms are available at most local Hackensack businesses and questions may be directed to Mary Parrish at 675-5818. A minimum donation of $30 per individual is required.  More sponsors will be cheerfully accepted. On site registration begins at noon and jumpers will be assigned an approximate time to make their plunge. There are no restrictions on what contestants wear for the jump into the frigid waters and it is rumored that some will wear winter underwear or other stylish attire.  Warm changing areas are provided and the Cass County Divers will be on hand to assist anyone needing help.

The public is encouraged to attend and the emcees will be conducting an experiment to see how many contestants actually turn blue and/or who will give up the loudest scream.  It has been shown by contestants in other similar plunges, that there is a great deal of personal satisfaction in actually surviving such an event.  It is most satisfying that all proceeds will benefit the local medical clinic.

Thanks
