Our good friends from Lucan, Brau Brothers Brewing Co. and others were recently featured on Daniel Klein’s Perennial Plate on The Huffington Post. According to Vimeo, the video is 11 months old, however the facetime on Huffington Post certainly helps get the word out. Check it out. The Perennial Plate is a web-based documentary series about sustainable food. Video below:
The Perennial Plate Episode 8: Lucan, MN from Daniel Klein on Vimeo.
This episode is about local food heros in Lucan MN. The town has only 220 people but great things are happening. Watch till the end for a special surprise.
Common Roots Cafe has announced a couple Meet the Brewer nights for the remainder of April.
On the 14th, Dan Chang, brewer/owner from Rush River Brewing, will be on hand with a cask of UberAltBeir.
Then on the 28th
Then on the 26th, Aran Madden, brewer/owner from Furthermore Beer, will be there with a firkin of Fatty Boombalatty infused with pomelo peel and candied ginger.
SF416, The Minnesota Pint Law, (or “the Surly bill,” if you will) passed a senate committee hearing tonight and now moves to the floor for debate. Very cool. That puts us one step closer to allowing breweries to sell pints of beer at their brewery.
Thought I couldn’t make it tonight, it sounds like there was a great crowd that showed up tonight in support of the law change. I’m told (with bias, of course… hell, we are beer dorks after all…) that our friends such as Omar from Surly and Jason Alvey from The Four Firkins presented themselves well. Though this certainly doesn’t guarantee a slam dunk on the floor, it’s a good start.
If you showed up in support tonight we all thank you!
