Ads on the past couple of issues of The Onion mention Dortmunder, however, after a visit to The Herkimer last night I came to find that there was no Dortmunder, but instead a Summer Lager, perhaps spiced a bit like a wit. The menu mentioned that an Alt was on deck, so I’m not exactly sure what happened with the Dortmunder…

I keep on forgetting to mention this stellar deal, but here it is… On Wednesdays, the Uptown Green Mill has 99 cent pints of Summit from open to close. Not bad!

I guess that says it all… Rock Bottom released their American Dream IPA on Thursday. I haven’t had a chance to taste it yet, but with a name like that, it has to be good. Word on the Beer Advocate forums is that they also have a brown porter, doppelbock and Czech Pilsner on tap in addition to their usual beers.

St. Cloud’s O’Hara’s currently has a raspberry wheat on tap as their seasonal beer. Brewmaster Chris Laumb’s description: “Light amber ale brewed from Belgian pale and crystal malts with a touch of Raspberry. Great summer session beer at 3.9%.”

Oh, and wheat, too. 🙂

Schell’s new visitor center is just about ready for business. You can read a bit about it in this Star Tribune piece.
