A few nice nods to some of our favorite beer-centric places in the Best of the Twin Cities edition of City Pages. Winners include:
Barley John’s: Best Suburban Bar and Best Brewpub (Though this statement is weak: “While we admire any bar that attempts to make its own brew, many do so badly.”)
Blue Door Pub: Best Neighborhood Bar (St. Paul)
Muddy Pig: Best Beer Selection in a Bar
Minneapolis Town Hall: Best Take-Home Brew
Summit Unchained Series: Best Beer
Join the bacon craze! Lots of things go with bacon, and beer is no exception.
Join us on Tuesday, April 27 for Beer & Bacon at The Muddy Pig. Starting at 5pm on the 27th when you purchase a glass of Two Brothers Heavy Handed or Two Brothers Domaine DuPage you will get a side of bacon to enjoy with the beer (until the bacon runs out). Muddy Pig tapas. So why beer and bacon? I don’t know, it just sounded like fun. See you on Tuesday.
