Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

Borrowed feed problem solved…
Long story short, Dave tipped me off to a site that was automatically pulling posts from both MNBeer.com and RealBeer.com’s “Beer Therapy” blog. I heard back from the owner of the site and the content has been removed. Apparently this “feature” was pre-loaded into WordPress by a previous owner of the site. I’m glad that the action to correct the mess was taken so quickly.
You see this sort of thing on the web from time to time and it’s frustrating when it happens to you. I don’t pretend to be a journalist or an author, but I still feel the need to protect the hard work that all of us at MNBeer do.
There are a couple of sites that have MNBeer as part of a big group of aggregated feeds. The difference, in those situations, is that they asked permission beforehand and proper credit as well as a link back to each and every post is given. For whatever reason, that didn’t happen in this case.
…but… it’s done. Water under the bridge, I hope. Let’s drink some beer… or wine, even. I’ve got a spare 1/4 bottle of Coppola Cabernet just waiting for Dawn and I to drink it. The other 3/4 of a bottle is in a mason jar with strips of a French oak barrel for an upcoming homebrew project. Yup. Cabernet Stout. It was tasty at Town Hall… hopefully I can come up with something tasty as well.

Head down to Flat Earth Brewing Co. for a tour!
Flat Earth Update: Winter Warlock has left the building… er brewery…
Some news from our friends over at Flat Earth Brewing Co. in St. Paul. As an aside, I was relayed a story about a fellow who was fortunate enough to brew with Jeff back in November. He’d never brewed beer before and had a new respect for the craft, and perhaps a few sore muscles from shoving around bags of grain and shoveling mash. Not surprisingly, he had a very good time.
Greetings,
We searched in vain but, we could not find the Winter Carnival medallion this year, hopefully we’ll have better luck next year.
Flat Earth is having its first ever beer dinner! We will be at the Happy Gnome on Tuesday the 5th. The price is $75 a person. We will start with a meet and greet at 6 p.m. Dinner starts at 7 p.m., a 6 course meal pairing 6 Flat Earth beers; Belgian Pale Ale, Element 115, Angry Planet, Cygnus X-1, Bermuda Triangle and Winter Warlock.
Call the Happy Gnome for more detail and tickets 651-287-2018.Winter Warlock kegs have left the building. This is a very limited run of Golden English Barley-wine. Smooth as freshly resurfaced ice with a mellow malt and hop flavor. Enjoy this 9% barley-wine slowly. Bottles should be out in a few weeks.
