Ring Neck Braun Ale; Betty’s (voted worst pie maker for both absolute taste and value by The Heavy Table) starts its “Slice of Heaven” tour of shopping malls (AKA); the Lyndale Tap house branches out to Apple Valley; Wisconsinites will shed their button-down image and discover the joys of alcohol at 6am; a flashback to the very stylish bust of an illegal gambling and drinking establishment on Hennepin Ave. circa 1938; Rachel reviews Sonora Grill at Midtown Global Market (we loved it); the Harvest PR firm is giving out a $25K grant to a worthy food-related nonprofit; Well Fed Guide to Life heads out to Crooked Pint Ale House; and a rave assessment of Birchwood Cafe.
