Cask Furious @ Ngon

Hai over at Ngon Bistro in St Paul just tapped a cask of Surly Furious dry-hopped with Simcoe. Yummy.

And if you’re in the mood for wine and a date, tonight is date night at Ngon. $30 gets you two traditional entrees, dessert, and bottle of wine. Hai promises he’s working on a beer version of date-night as well!
