Lost Twin Cities II
…is on TPT2 right now. There’s a small section on the Hamm’s Brewery and mansion in this documentary. Beer and brewing is but a small part of the show, but it’s pretty interesting to local history nerds like myself.
Did you miss it? Fear not, you can borrow a tape from the Hennepin County library system.
Edit: It’s been a while since I’ve seen this, and I’d forgotten that Hamm’s kept deer and peacocks on the grounds. That makes at least two breweries in MN with deer and peacocks, with the second being Schell’s. When are we going to see the Surly deer and peacocks?

City Pages’ Artist of the Year: Omar Ansari
I’ve had a hard time keeping my mouth shut for a week, but thankfully CP has let the cat out of the bag and announced their Artists of the Year…Â GIf I was a swearing man, I’d say, “Fucking A, This Guy Deserves It,” but I don’t swear (…in front of my mom), so I’ll just let you know that Omar Ansari (and Surly Brewing, by proxy) was picked as one of City Pages’ Artists of the Year. Go Minnesota! Go beer!
Gluek’s Stout
“Pale and dry as champagne.” Hmmm. A stout? I’m guessing they weren’t referring to style with the name.
