The people of the Star Trib and Mpls St. Paul magazine must have been doing some drinking lately and I mean that in a very complimentary way. As Ryan posted, the local microbrews were recognized in Thursday’s Taste section (with a nice color photo of Flat Earth’s bottles on the front page) and this month’s Mpls St. Paul magazine recognized two other local favorites. Barley John’s Brew Pub got picked as one of the top places to dine al fresco and Buster’s on 28th received a nice review in the Dining Out section. It’s nice to see some places getting recognized for making good beer readily available, whether they are brewing it or serving it.

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.
