We’ve got some news for you! Our next Month’s Beer Bash and the following month’s 3rd Annual Boarfest are shaping up to be doozies. Coming up first is Sunday September 15th’s Beer Bash with Brash Brewing and Clown Shoes Beer. We’ve got live music from 5-9pm and some special food items TBA.

…and then…

Just when the weather begins turning a lil’ cooler, a bit dryer…we’re going to throw a proper party to commemorate the autumn’s arrival. B&TB’s 3rd annual Boarfest starts at noon Sunday October 6th and goes all day till 10pm. This year’s event is so big, we have to take over the dining room and the parking lot! We’ve got 2 stages, 3 separate food stations and what’s shaping up to be a stunner of a music line up. Not to mention special brews TBA. Mark your calendars, call the baby sitter, get the night off work…Boarfest is coming…

This past Tuesday, B&TB Chef/Owner Jack Riebel hosted a “Chef’s Table Lunch” with Plate Magazine and BelGioioso. Almost 40 local chefs came for Jack’s 4 course lunch, paired exceptionally by our Cicerone Ben Knutson. We want to extend a huge thanks for those who helped make this happen and to those who attended this great lunch time break with us. We were more than happy to host.

A trip to the market

B&TB Sous Chef Brendan McDonald and Pastry Chef Rachel Slivicki headed to the Minneapolis Farmers Market yesterday for a leisurely shopping trip to pick up fresh produce for various dishes made at B&TB. We’re extremely lucky as a metro area to have such markets (and there are many, many more too). It’s important to support these local farmers and businesses, and we gladly do when we can!
