Maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention, but I noticed that the Seven Corners Parking Ramp (adjacent to Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery) isn’t as cheap as I remember. Dawn and I stopped in for a beer and a growler exchange and ended up paying $5 for about an hour of parking. In the past, we’ve paid a buck or two to park for about an hour. Thankfully, bike parking is still free near TH. 🙂

Fitger’s Vs. Fitger
Here’s an interesting article (thanks Mike) from the Duluth News Tribune concerning the Fitger’s trademark
A federal judge has granted Fitger’s On-the-Lake’s request for a preliminary injunction halting a Connecticut company from using the Fitger name or any of its trademarks in the sale and marketing of beer.
Onion Homebrew Contest Results
Congrats to Ron Fitch from Eagan for winning the Onion’s homebrew contest. His Russian Imperial Stout won best of show. Enjoy all that beer, Ron.
Runners up include Curt and Kathy Stock (Classic American Pilsner) and Steve Fletty (Saison).
Darkness yanked from eBay
Another Darkness post! eBay pulled the plug on 5 out of the 6 auctions for Surly Darkness. One would guess that someone complained that the auction was a violation of eBay’s terms of service and the auctions got yanked. In any case, there’s one left on eBay. If you have some extra coin that you want to throw at charity in exchange for a bottle of Darkness and a great screenprinted poster from Adam Turman, go for it. Much too rich for my blood (and I have three bottles of Darkness at my house anyway), but perhaps it’ll make someone’s day.
