I just got an order of MNBeer t-shirts in… man, they’re quite nice. I’d always been a bit skeptical about CafePress, but the quality is really good. I have one of the organic cotton t-shirts as well and it’s Downy soft, my friends.

Jeff, Eric, Mag & Kris… needless to say, I have your t-shirts. We’ll have to organize a time for beers and distribution.

Needless to say, I think we’re all in shock here in Minneapolis and the surrounding area after I-35W collapsed. It’s all pretty surreal and thus far, I don’t know anyone involved. 35W isn’t part of my commute to work (I bike through St. Louis Park), but I’ve crossed that bridge more times than I cancount to visit Minneapolis Town Hall and Barley John’s, among other places. Needless to say, our thoughts are with all of those involved in any way, shape or form.

I haven’t written any e-mail since I left work yesterday afternoon. It would be great if MNBeer contributors, readers and other beer geeks could check in with a comment.

…assuming you’re not a lazy-ass, a jerk or a connaisseur of macro-swill. We’re looking to add one or two more writers to keep on top of beer events, news and tappings across the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota. Opinions are fine, though we like to leave them at the door with regards to the site – the beer should speak for it self. HTML knowledge is nice, but not absolutely necessary. Decent spelling and grammar is appreciated as well. The benefits are minimal, though we’ll hook you up with one of our shirts and depending on the brewery, bar(tender) or brewpub, you may just drink for free on occasion. Drop me a line (ryan AT mnbeer.com) if you think you’re up to the challenge.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hmmm. I must say this is a first. We’ve been banana-ed. I saw this in referrer stats this morning and just had to share…
