A few nice nods to some of our favorite beer-centric places in the Best of the Twin Cities edition of City Pages. Winners include:
Barley John’s: Best Suburban Bar and Best Brewpub (Though this statement is weak: “While we admire any bar that attempts to make its own brew, many do so badly.”)
Blue Door Pub: Best Neighborhood Bar (St. Paul)
Muddy Pig: Best Beer Selection in a Bar
Minneapolis Town Hall: Best Take-Home Brew
Summit Unchained Series: Best Beer

Locally-produced Brewing TV has launched their site and goes live with their first episode on May 7th.
“Brewing TV: a new webshow made for, by, and about homebrewers. We’re not teaching you how to brew, we’re reminding you why you brew.”
Stop by Stub & Herb’s tonight for “Kill the Keg.” $5 gets you all you can drink until the keg of Dark Horse Boffo Brown runs dry. On deck for next week: Dark Horse Perculator Dopplebock on the same deal.
