• Open at 10am: For anyone wishing to get an early start on the day, pick up a growler, etc.
• Beer Yoga starting at 10am: Hosted by Tricia Heibel, this is the first Beer Yoga event we're trying out. Hopefully it'll be nice out and can do outside, if rainy, the class can take over the indoors.
• Shish Kebabs: From around 1pm to 8pm, will be grilling out various shish kebabs to try out.

It's blonde and strong, the Valhalla Blonde Ale.

The Specs:

• SRM: 3.0
• IBU: 23
• ​ABV: 7.0%

The Malt
Similar to a Leffe Blonde, this beer has a grain bill dominated by a light Pilsen malt, 10% pale ale malt, and a 5% combination of two caramel malts. The result being a very light, golden colored ale.

The Hops & Boil
Coming from two central European varieties, including Kazbek from the Czech Republic and Saphir from Germany, both known for their aroma characteristics with a reduced bittering influence. As typical with many Belgian styled beers, a small amount of coriander was added to give the beer a little extra spice and citrus flavors.

The Valhalla Blonde Ale is now available on tap from  both inside the pub and from the outdoor deck bar, in pints, pitchers, and growlers.

Enjoy Yoga? Like to drink beer? Ever wonder what would happen if you combined them? If so, you're in luck as this Saturday, July 1st, Tricia Heibel will be hosting a Beer Yoga class outside on the deck facing the lake, starting at 10am.

Join us on the patio for a beginner-friendly, beautiful, outdoor, morning yoga class, weather permitting. The cost is $15 and as an added bonus, you can enjoy one of your favorite beer/cocktail/non-alcoholic beverage of choice during the practice, included with the cost of the class.

Tricia Heibel is an RYT200 Yoga Teacher at Replenish Yoga & Wellness in the Backus Community Center.

As of yesterday, Loony's Brew now has a dedicated place for artists to promote and sell their creations, including paintings, photos, and other two dimensional pieces. As you can see below, this is located in the back of the pub, next to the Bumper Pool table.

A few comments and FAQs:

• Why the change? While we've tried to promote artwork in the past, the pieces that were for sale were generally scattered throughout the pub, making it confusing for customers to know what's for sale and what's not. We're hoping this extra focus will clear that up and get things moving a bit more.
• Who can display their work? The more local the better. Just stop by with the piece you'd like displayed and chances are we'll be able to make room for it.
• What about terms? Loony's Brew gets 20% of whatever your work is sold for. This covers sales tax and other labor costs associated with selling your work.
• How can customers purchase a piece? If you're ready to buy, you can simply pay the bartender for the piece you want and can immediately take it home with you. We'll inform the artist their work has sold and compensate them appropriately.

Stop by this weekend to see all the new artwork on display, about a dozen new pieces were added yesterday!

Cheers,
