However, a similar argument can be made regarding restaurants specializing in local produce. They of all restaurants should be serving locally-produced beer, wine, and cider. A restaurant I'd like to support more often is Corner Table. However, Scott Pampuch, while supporting local pork producers, can't seem fit to do the same for local breweries. Last time I checked, the closest brewery offering they had was Rush River. Nearly every other beer they sell is imported. Ngon Vietnamese Bistro comes to mind as a restaurant using local produce and serving locally-produced beer. I seem to recall they had 12 Minnesota-brewed beers on tap. Are there other restaurants like Ngon, that is, using local produce and serving local-produced beer?
