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.
@Finnegans and @LiveGreenTC promote eating (and imbibing) local, @CheeseGeek summarizes a lively debate on the future of raw milk cheese in Wisconsin — ultimately calling for a better definition of “raw milk”, @Atlantic_Food points to the possibility of venture capitalists’ newest darling, “clean tech”, benefiting organic farmers, and @Oceanaire_Mpls wants you to know that it is indeed still “alive and kicking” – and offering 3-course meals for $20, to boot.
