Yup. Watch our egos soar… We were chosen as part of Metro Magazine’s “Best Homegrown Blogs” in the January issue.
They’ve also got a nice little feature in their restaurant guide called “Beer-Drinking Adventures” that gives a nod to Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, Great Waters Brewing Company, Acadia Cafe, Barley John’s Brewpub and Fitger’s Brewhouse. Check it out if you get a chance.
Chris made quick work of getting his beer line-up together at McCann’s and we’re happy to see that he now has a full line-up. Deep Seven:
One for the lovers of hoppy craft brews. Seven deep layers of flavor consisting of three English malts and four hop varieties (2 U.S./2 English). Generous portions of hops are added to the brew kettle and hops are also added to the fermenter for a wonderful hop aroma.
Prairie Porter:
Brewed with four English malts and two English hop varieties giving this beer a dark, rich, roasty background with light smokey undertones. Bittersweet chocolate flavor develops in the finish. A very nice ale for the winter time to enjoy with friends.
It sounds as if there have been a few bumps in the road with cleaner concentration in the glass washers, but hopefully all is well in St. Cloud. I’m about ready for a field trip!
EDIT: The event has been moved to The Blue Nile.
Taken from BeerAdvocate…
I just stopped by and saw Jeff and Ted hard at work at the new Acadia Cafe. The new location will be next to Midwest Mountaineering in the old New Riverside restaurant. The location is the corner of Riverside and Cedar in Minneapolis. Seems like their place would be a great place to debut Surly Two. We have penciled in January 23rd to bring out the beer. Look for two along with Darkness 2006! Ted and Jeff squirreled a 1/4 barrel of it away for over a year. See you then.

Penciled in..we’ll edit this post should we receive further details…
