Big Wood Brewery hopes to set up a taproom in White Bear Lake (zoning code update required), Northgate Brewing is opening early this fall in Northeast and will make English session beers, DeRusha digs Cafe Levain and praises the short rib burger, a construction boom in Lowertown could bring some new restaurants and bars, Madison will soon be home to a local grenadine by Quince and Apple and a Death’s Door Spirits distillery, and why you should grill clams, cheese, and other crazy stuff.
I surfed for news late last night and ended up with a fistful of City Pages. Thusly… Rachel concurs with our stance on the end of civilization itself (aka cold tables at Northeast Social), Koyi Sushi in Seward is really and truly open, the Buddha’s hand fruit is weird looking but can be used to make marmalade or infused vodka, locals have a shot at the Doritos Super Bowl ad contest, and a long, terrific interview with Dara about Drink This: Wine Made Simple.
