The people of the Star Trib and Mpls St. Paul magazine must have been doing some drinking lately and I mean that in a very complimentary way. As Ryan posted, the local microbrews were recognized in Thursday’s Taste section (with a nice color photo of Flat Earth’s bottles on the front page) and this month’s Mpls St. Paul magazine recognized two other local favorites. Barley John’s Brew Pub got picked as one of the top places to dine al fresco and Buster’s on 28th received a nice review in the Dining Out section. It’s nice to see some places getting recognized for making good beer readily available, whether they are brewing it or serving it.
