Land of Amber Waters: The History of Brewing in Minnesota

Whaddya’ know… a package from University of Minnesota Press arrived at my house today. I almost ordered a copy myself, but figured I’d hold off.

HOLY SHIT!

I  have some reading to do tonight! I should stop typing now, but I feel it’s my duty to tease you and let you know that I’ve got a six-question interview with Doug that’s all but ready to post. I just have to make it pretty.

HOT DAMN!

I need to go read now. This book is huge and most likely amazing!

Introduction, Wisconsin beer in the Pioneer Press

So I’m one of the guys that Ryan and Jeff were kind enough to let into their inner-circle of top secret sources for beer happenings around the Twin Cities. I like good beer and want to see more of it in Minnesota. I’ll do my best to live up to the high quality you all have to come to expect from MnBeer.com…

With that, there was an interesting article in the PiPress Tuesday about legislative battles over beer laws in Wisconsin. Sure, this is MNBeer.com, but it’s always good to keep tabs on our beer-swilling neighbors to the east. Maybe we can learn something from them.

Check it out here.
