The Taste 50 in today’s Strib. had a nice nod to Minnesota micros:
Another welcome trend: the rise of excellent local microbreweries, including Flat Earth, Brau Brothers, Surly and Wisconsin’s Rush River.

Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.
Ommegang tasting at Stub & Herb’s
Join us at Stub & Herb’s once again for another Wednesday tasting! On Wednesday, May 28th, representatives from Ommegang will be on hand to talk about their beer and share some samples. $5. Every one of these events has been a great time. Cheers to Jon and the staff at Stub & Herb’s for doing such a good job.
Look for summer tastings outside. This should be fun!
BONUS: If you own a MNBeer t-shirt, wear it and your tasting will be comped. Limit 1 per person 🙂 and no homemade t-shirts. 🙂
Are CitySearch voters dumb?
I’m not ragging on Kieran’s or Brit’s, but I have to respectfully disagree with Citysearch – neither have the “best beer selection in the Twin Cities.” I’m not sure that either would make the top ten, and McCoy’s, The Lodge and Plums probably wouldn’t either.
So, that being said, what are your top ten beer spots in the Twin Cities.
Another look at the Four Firkins
