Growler Sales BEGIN!

Update #12 · Jan 3, 2013 · comment

Dear KickStarters!

It’s been a wonderful 1st year at Lucid Brewing! We are grateful for all the continued support you have provided over the year. We’re very happy to keep making six packs to quench your thirst!

I hope your New Year’s resolution didn’t have anything to do with less calories and less alcohol because I’m about to ruin it for you. Lucid Brewing is very happy to announce that we FINALLY have the ability to sell Growlers, and to celebrate this momentous event we want to invite you all to the brewery for a beer. Stop in during posted hours and we’ll give you a FREE GROWLER(donors only)!

It only makes sense that to launch a Kickstarter brew with growler sales, right? Done! CRAIG’S ALE is a Dutch-styled brown ale weighing in at 7.5% ABV. It was named in honor of Craig, our highest Kickstarter donor. We will be releasing this in 750ml bottles and on draft in limited distribution.

When we started the brewery, our mission was to bring in homebrewers to brew on our system. To offer the opportunity to start a beer brand with nothing more than a recipe and determination. This year, we’ve helped Badger Hill brewing launch and are weeks away from the launching the third in house brewery: Bad Weather Brewing.

We are taking the mission a step further with Top Brewer. Top Brewer is a series of contests designed to find the best homebrewers in the Twin Cities and invite them to brew with us. Top Brewer Finals take place Feb. 2nd at Lucid Brewing. We’re holding an outdoor event to celebrate the homebrewing and our love for the outdoors. Firepits, Hammerschlagen, a Tap trailer, live music, homebrew supply vendor booths, demonstrations, are all lined up! Buy your tickets at www.TopBrewer.org.  We want to have a fun event and would love to have you join us.  BUY A TICKET TODAY!

Cheers,

Jon Messier
