Jim Norton says this… I believe it resonates:
We make good artisan beer, right here in the Upper Midwest. There’s no excuse for not offering at least one solid local beer, regardless of how high-class your restaurant may be — in fact, the higher class your restaurant, the more you should grasp the marketing and moral appeal of supporting someone who’s laboring passionately — around the corner! — to make a world-class brew.

Join Flat Earth for their Bermuda Triangle Offical Keg Tapping Party at the Bulldog Lowertown!
For those of you wanting to hear a little bit more about the Triangle, it is a tasty Belgian Tripel. Only the finest Belgian grains were brewed with Belgian candied sugar and orange blossom honey from the Bermuda Triangle then aged for several months to produce a bright, golden ale bursting with flavors of lemon, spice, and a touch of that orange blossom honey sweetness. This is an ale that is deceptively smooth and easy drinking, so be careful not to lose yourself in the flavors of Bermuda Triangle.
* O.G. 1083
* SRM 6
* ABV 9.10
* IBU 31
Here’s three great reasons to visit Ngon Vietnamese Bistro!
Surly Furious double hopped with simcoe now on cask.
