Yum!

I have a few of these stories to post soon. They come out every Thursday but as you may have noticed, I have not been a diligent poster of late.

Anyway, here’s one about a bourbon being produced just over the line in Wisconsin.

And face it, that state NEEDS to be known for producing something that doesn’t leave a rotten taste in your mouth these days.

I don’t want you all getting the impression that I drink a lot. I actually don’t. And I don’t want you thinking everyone in Minnesota drinks a lot either. I haven’t seen that. However, I *do* lik living in a place that is learning to take its beer seriously.

I realize the ridiculousness of the the following statement, but Duluth is our new San Diego.

By that I mean that it is a little over four hours away, is on the water, a definite vacation spot with good food and neat things to do.

I have had some great work experiences up there in the past and have enjoyed my time there with the family.

If you ever end up there, go to Pizza Luce. There is at least one in the Twin Cities, but do yourself a favor and go to the one in Duluth.

And now, an ever expanding beer scene. Don’t get me wrong, this is already in existence. Beer culture is alive and well. Carmody’s is probably in my top five bars I have ever been to. Nothing special about it except that the beer is amazing, the atmosphere even more so and it is just a good – but tiny – place to hang out. And now they have their own beer.

I can’t wait to go give all the new stuff a try.

How to have the last word, even in a losing argument.

Apparently the brewer of Freetail seems to be a kind of thinker too.

Why are microbrew guys more interesting than the average folk?

I may have posted this earlier in the year but wanted to be sure. So here is a chart showing the growing centralization of beer ownership in the world. Quality is sure to suffer eventually.

See, this is what happens when you don’t waste time working on new boner pills.

Scientists have found out not only what makes beer turn bitter, but also how to keep the process at bay.

This is a glorious time to live in folks! Drink up!

Or don’t. It will be there fresh and ready when you are.
