I must admit I haven’t heard about this project and I live in SLP… Jason Schoneman’s Steel Toe Brewery got a nice write-up in the Sun newspaper the other day. Check it out.

Haskell’s Beer & Wine Cruise
Floatin’ down the river, drinking good beer sounds like a nice way to spend a summer evening, doesn’t it? Especially when someone else is driving the boat, keeping you out of trouble with the boat police.

Ngon Bistro in St. Paul just tapped some cask Surly Bender, which goes delightfully well with Cha Gio or Duck Cassoulet de l’Indochine. While you’re there, you might as well get a pour of Abrasive, which is sure to be some of the last floating around the cities.
