Run Beer Repeat

Good Beer, Good People, Good for You!

Great run from Flat Earth Brewing

by

We had a fantastic run the other week at Flat Earth! The weather was chilly but beautiful for our out-and-back run from Flat Earth to CHS Field and back! At the start of the run, this author was finally shown the path to the secret tunnel that gets you into Swede Hollow quickly. Even though the tunnel looks like it should be a “bad idea” from a horror movie, all was well other than some icy spots.

Back at Flat Earth, we were joined by some of our cohorts who braved the afternoon to attend the Twins home opener. Flat Earth had a great selection of beer available to sample as well. Thanks to everyone who came out in the not-quite-April-like weather and joined us for a great run and fantastic beering!

This week we are heading to the brand new Finnegan’s Brewery in Minneapolis! Come join us at Finnegan’s on Thursday for a run at 6:30 sharp. Make sure you allow for parking time as we are meeting in downtown Minneapolis and Finnegan’s doesn’t have a dedicated parking lot. If you are planning on joining us, please consider RSVPing. It really helps us get a handle on how many to expect.

Last week we announced our schedule out to the end of June! We added Birches on the Lake, Surly and LTD Brewing to the schedule so put them on your schedule! Did you know you can add the RunBeerRepeat calendar to YOUR calendar and have our run schedule show up automatically on your calendar? Just jump over to the Events page on the website and scroll down below the list of upcoming events to the iCal feed link that you can copy and paste into your calendar.

Wow what a run from Unmapped!

by

The weather is getting warmer(ish) and the runners are coming out in force!

Thanks to all 31 of you that came out to Unmapped Brewing last week for our bonus run! It was a massive group and was tons of fun to meet everyone. I hope everyone had fun and comes back and joins us again very soon!

Our 30-minute Unmapped run was quite well mapped out, even if we do say so ourselves! The simple out-and-back route took us south on Eden Prairie Road for 15 minutes before turning around and heading back.

As usual, the beer at Unmapped was great. There was a great collection of favorites along with some new things to try!

This week we are heading back to St Paul and Flat Earth Brewing. As usual, we will meet at 6:20 for our 6:30 sharp run. The run will be a 30-minute out-and-back run to help people of any pace have a fantastic run. After the run, we will meet back at Flat Earth to catch up and try some great beer!

If you are planning on joining us, please consider RSVP’ing for the run. It helps us know how many to expect when planning. If you haven’t signed the 2018 RunBeerRepeat liability waiver, please do so online before the run.

Great run from Dual Citizen

by

It’s not our normal 1st and 3rd Thursday schedule but March gave us a 5th Thursday so we get a bonus run this month!

Before we get to this week, we need to check in on our last run. Back on the 15th, we were at Dual Citizen Brewing in St Paul. Dual Citizen is a new brewery located just off 280 and University. They have a great location that let us quickly get down to the Mississippi River for our 30-minute out-and-back run. It was a beautiful day with several pairs of shorts showing up for our first run in the daylight in quite some time. Back at Dual Citizen, we were able to commandeer a few tables for our 20+ runners. As usual, it was fun trying some of what Dual Citizen offered while catching up on what has been happening and what races are coming up!

This past week, club member Brad had a guest article published in the popular Minneapolis Running website about RunBeerRepeat. To everyone who discovered us from there, cheers & I hope to see you at an upcoming run! To everyone else, go check out the article!

This week for our bonus run we are heading outside our usual 494/694 limit to out founder Derek’s brewery, Unmapped Brewing. As usual, we will meet at 6:20 for our 6:30 sharp run. As usual, the run will be a 30-minute run, hopefully, an out-and-back to help people of any pace have a fantastic run. After the run, we will meet back at Unmapped to catch up and try some great beer!

If you are planning on joining us, please consider RSVP’ing for the run. It helps us know how many to expect when planning. If you haven’t signed the 2018 RunBeerRepeat liability waiver, please do so online before the run.

Fair State Brewing Run

by

Our last run brought us to Fair State Brewing Co-Op in Minneapolis! We had a great group of runners for the last run before Daylight Savings Time ends! The run was a bit slippery with all the melting that occurred during the day. We decided to run North from Fair State up to St. Anthony Parkway and Columbia Park.

This week we have a fantastic run scheduled at Dual Citizen Brewing. As usual, we will meet at 6:20 for our 6:30 sharp run. A quick note about parking – do not park in the lot behind the brewery, as this is reserved for residents and you will get towed! There is street parking, and a pay lot nearby.⠀

Wabasha Brewing and Smoosh Racing

by

What an awesome week!

Our last run brought us to Wabasha brewing for a fun out-and-back down past the Wabasha Street Caves and along the Mississippi River. The night was quite warm and even though the path was not plowed, it was a great run! The staff at Wabasha were awesome, hooking us up with a bunch of seats in the front window. Even better than the staff was the beer at Wabasha! They had a great selection of options that were perfect for the post-run recovery!

On Saturday the 17th, RunBeerRepeat competed in the 2nd annual Smoosh Race at Bauhaus Brew Labs! This event was put on by Northstar running with all proceeds going to Children’s Hospital. Even though we didn’t make it to the final bracket, we had tons of fun racing this year! Thanks to everyone who came out and cheered us on!

Last Friday a few of us headed to US Bank Stadium for the last indoor run of the season as well.

This week we are heading to one of our all-time favorite locations, Fair State Brewing in Northeast Minneapolis! As usual, join us for a 30 minute run leaving Fair State at 6:30 sharp. We’ll be back at Fair State at 7pm for some post-run beverages! Pro-tip for anyone looking for some awesome food after the run. Holy Land Deli is right across the street on Central Ave. You can order from their online menu and set a 7:00 or 7:15 pickup so your food is ready for you right after the run!

Amazing runs at Steel Toe and Lupulin Brewing

by

We had a couple amazing runs the past two weeks! Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us.

Our last club run was at Steel Toe Brewing on Feb 1st. It was a chilly evening but had a great group of people joining us on an out-and-back run along the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. Back at Steel Toe, we had a great selection of beer to choose from. The Pale Ale was a nice standout for many of us!

Last week a small group headed north for a pop-up run at Lupulin Brewing to join members of their running club on their weekly Wednesday run around Big Lake. Back at the brewery, Lupulin Brewer and RunBeerRepeat member, Aaron showed off his workplace while we relaxed after a great run!

This week’s run is at Wabasha Brewing in St Paul. As usual, join us for a 30-minute run starting at 6:30 sharp. We’ll be back at Wabasha around 7:00 for some beer and socializing! If you are planning on joining us, hit up the RSVP link and please make sure you have signed our waiver for the 2018 calendar year!

This Saturday RunBeerRepeat is taking part in an awesome event at Bauhaus Brew Labs that is raising money for a great cause. Four of us will be taking part in the 2nd annual Twin Cities Smoosh Racing Championship hosted by Northstar Running. We would love it if you came out and cheered us on! Wear your RunBeerRepeat apparel if you have it. The race starts at 11am at Bauhaus!

Fantastic run from Venn Brewing

by

No run this week but there’s so much happening we had to get in touch!

Last week we had an awesome run at Venn Brewing in Minneapolis! Venn just opened up at the 46th Street light rail station in Minneapolis off of Hiawatha Ave. From Venn it’s an easy run over to Minnehaha Falls and the Mississippi River. We had a great group of 17 runners join us for the run on what turned out to be a very enjoyable temperature.

After the run, we sat down and enjoyed a fantastic collection of beer. There were about 16 different options, all of them different, very well brewed and extremely enjoyable.

On other news, we are placing another apparel order. We will be ordering Zubaz as well as shirts. If you are interested, check out the links on the apparel page. Note the prices listed are a bit low. We add a small percentage to help cover shipping (if needed). Any extra goes to help defray club operating costs of the website, stickers and snacks for the runs! If you are interested, reply to this email or message Dave Royer with what you want. We will be ordering next Friday the 2nd.

We are still looking for a couple daring individuals willing to join our 2nd Smoosh team! The race is fast approaching but there is still plenty of time to join the team and get some practice! If you are interested, reply to this message or contact Dave for more information.

Next Week we are running at Steel Toe Brewing in St. Louis Park. Come join us for our run at 6:30pm Sharp. Remember to RSVP and we will see you there!

Great runs at Tin Whiskers and Hop and Barrel!

Wow, what a week it was!

Back on Thursday the 4th we had an awesome time at Tin Whiskers Brewing Co.! We had a great group of runners willing to brave the sub-zero temperatures for some tasty brews! Cheers to each and every one of you!

Fast forward to three days later and our first field trip of 2018 on Sunday the 7th. We headed across the border to Hop and Barrel Brewing in Hudson, WI. We had an awesome time and were super lucky with balmy temperatures in the 20s. One crazy guy even ran in shorts! Our route took us across the I-94 bridge to briefly touch Minnesota as we turned around and headed back to the taproom for some tasty brews.

Thanks everyone that came out to both!

Great Holiday Lights Run – Inbound run this Thursday

Hi Beer Runners!

Thanks to everyone who showed up last time. It was our 4th annual Holiday Light’s Run from the Middy Pig. The weather was chilly, coming in at about 15 degrees at runtime. 15 of us took off down Dale to Summit Ave. Our run ended up taking us out passed lots of big mansions including the Governor’s Mansion. There were fewer lights than in previous years but still a great collection. One house had their entryway lion statues decorated up with hats and lights! Back at the Muddy Pig we took over just about all of the back room. As always, we had a great selection of food and drink to choose from.

This week we are heading over to Inbound BrewCo in Minneapolis. Come join us Thursday at for a 30 minute run, followed by some great beer. As always, we will meet at Inbound at about 6:20pm around the front of their facility and will start our run at 6:30 sharp so please plan to get there and parked on time.
