Used keg sales may soon be regulated

the-minnesota-state-capitol-building-s.jpgWant to sell that empty Miller Lite keg to a scrap metal dealer? You better do it quick, because it could soon be illegal. A bill to prohibit scrap metal dealers from buying or receiving a keg from anyone but a brewery, keg manufacturer, or their representative passed a key State Senate committee on Wednesday.  Senate File 3455, authored by Sen. Jim Metzen (DFL-South St. Paul), will be voted on by the full Senate sometime in the next few weeks. The House version has yet to receive a hearing.

Old Shep Stout at McCann’s

McCann’sI don’t know the story of Old Shep, but I’m sure it’s good… if not, surely the beer will be good…

St. Patty’s is the time for stout and we are pleased to introduce our Old Shep Stout:
Named for a old canine friend, our Old Shep Stout is as faithful as man’s best pal. Brewed with five different malts, including an ample portion of roasted barley for that inky blackness stouts are known for. Layers of espresso like/dark chocolate undertones combine with a well balanced body.

A true session stout that can be enjoyed all night long.

Local road cyclists know the legend of Old Shep-It will be a mystery to everyone else.
