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.
Mmmm, the tastes of summer: @DehnsGarden sells the first of their field-grown basil, perfect with the new everyday Parmigiano-Reggiano at @France44Cheese… follow up the summery snack with solar-baked cookies, courtesy of a retweet from @CHOW_Com — take advantage of those UV rays while you still can! In other events, @AziaRestaurant hosts an oyster and champagne reception on Monday 7/27, @MidtownGlobal advertises brunch by Jakeeno’s Trattoria on Sunday, and @TanpopoMN features new hours for the duration of Cirque Du Soleil.
