The latest from Twitter: @BlueOxCoffeeCompany plugs their peppermint mocha garnished with a Thin Mint from the Girl Scouts (it’s that time of year!), @ngonbistro announces their Valentine’s Day tasting menu, @RogueChocolate marvels that every one of their bars is hand-inspected by the founder himself, and @france44 is serving a decadent-sounding fig salami with blue cheese.
The Captain’s Chair reports that “the highly regarded 21st Amendment Brewery out of San Francisco will be hitting the Twin Cities market in the coming months with two offerings from their stable of beers — Brew Free or Die IPA and Hell or High Watermelon Wheat.” He reviews both. Also: A big Heavy Table thank you to Aaron of TCC and his wonderful wife for hosting us at their homebrew dinner — not only do you know your craft beer, you know how to brew it, as well. Spent grain bread on its way shortly.
I tried the watermelon beer at Food Fete in New York at the end of June. It wasn’t my cup of tea, but then again, I’m not a big beer drinker.
