Paired: an arthouse speakeasy
I was going to go to this, but can’t this weekend. Definitely will in the future. I think it will be fun. Just look at the pictures of the fun that other people had a previous event, just like this one. Except you can attend this one, but you can’t accept that last one, because it’s in the past.

“Perhaps people are substituting Michelob and Coors for more expensive microbrews...”
– My friends, we’re in a bit of a pickle. You see, beer is no longer recession-proof. Thousands of microbreweries, brewpubs, and craft breweries need you step up to this challenge, to support America. Do your part and quit drinking Budweicoormillichelob, and replace it with a craft beer made...

– MPR covers T-Paw’s budget plan.
In not so many words, TPaw doesn’t understand what it means to budget and keeps eating into one-time funding so he can jam Minnesota further into the sewer pipe after he started flushing us seven years ago. This leaves more crap for The Next Guy to clean up....

WatchBeer: The original slow food. Garrett Oliver is the master brewer at Brooklyn Brewery, and he is awesome.
WatchThis one’s almost better, by the same guy up in Duluth. It’s scenes like this that could convince me to move to Duluth. That and Fitger’s Brewhouse.
