Acadia Re-Opening 1/23

Finally!!!  Acadia Cafe will be re-opening at their new location, 329 Cedar Ave. S, Minneapolis, this Wednesday, 1/23.  For those of you unfamiliar with the area, it’s in the Seven Corners area a little bit South of Town Hall and just West of the U of M’s Carlson School.  Kris and I are going to fall on a grenade and stop in that evening to help them work out the bugs with their taps.  *Jeez* The things will do to support good beer in Minnesota.  Hope to see you there.
