Beer can be used as a substitute for wine, as both contain a relatively low amount of alcohol and are capable of soaking through slugger Joe Mauer's undershirt. Cover Big Mac in a frothy fermented delight with today's Groupon to The Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery on Washington Avenue. Choose between the following options:
- For $20, you get $40 worth of brewpub fare and drinks.
- For $6, you get a growler of beer to-go (a $13 value).
Town Hall serves up inventive pub fare alongside homemade suds in an inviting, old-style atmosphere. Jump start the digestive apparatus with creative starters such as the mashed-potato pizza with bacon and sour cream ($7.95) or trick children into exchanging rare action figures for the glowing, golden-fried Wisconsin cheese curds ($6.95). For the main event, guests may look to the brewery's expansive menu, which boasts everything from tried-and-true comfort food such as pulled-pork sandwiches with melted swiss and sautéed onions ($7.95) to uncommon platters such as wild-rice-and-steak salad with creole buttermilk ranch ($10.25) and the fiery shredded-chicken sandwich served with mango salsa ($7.95).
Discerning palates can find a match in any of Town Hall's five regular taps and six seasonal house-made brews. Kick back after a long day of chiseling a bust of actor Brian Dennehy by heading to the outdoor patio to sample crisp, refreshing brews such as the Dortmunder local-export lager or pick a bold pint of bitter such as the Masala Mama IPA ($4.75). Alternatively, guests seeking to absorb large amounts of liquid without fermenting a swimming pool can grab an enormous on-the-go growler of award-winning beer for prolonged home enjoyment ($13).
