Minneapolis Behind the Booze — The Passport Program

January 29, 2020 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

I've been wanting to check out Tattersall's new Clover Club for a while so I'm really excited about this event! Don't have a Winter Passport? They're now half-off and still valid through April 15th so you have no excuse. (The discount will be applied when the passport is in your cart, the site still shows … Continue reading Minneapolis Behind the Booze — The Passport Program

Booze for History Buffs

February 1, 2019 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

A couple of years ago, Summit Brewing and the Minneapolis Institute of Art teamed up and made a Tudor Ale for a special event at the museum. I was lucky enough to make it to the Summit taproom while they still had some and it was delicious and fascinating! I remember thinking it was a … Continue reading Booze for History Buffs

The original plan for the weekend was just the Adria talk and tasting at Mia, then we added a tour of 45th Parallel on Sunday because my coupon was close to expiring, then we added a class at 11 Wells because it was free and we wanted to check out all their new stuff, then … Continue reading Epic Weekend: Drinking Edition, Part One

You may have noticed that we love checking out new taprooms, distilleries, bars, and everywhere else we can get a delicious beverage. It's not the cheapest of hobbies, so I am always on the lookout for a good deal. Here are a few beer and brewery deals available now: 56 Brewing Groupon: Tasting Package for … Continue reading Taste more, spend less: Beer Edition

Just a normal Friday night, toasting a freshly made @talisker marshmallow. Find me, get candy! We’ll travel the world to support good people and these folks are the best! We decided on this short getaway mostly because Vegas has sunshine and @silverstamplv - and enjoyed both thoroughly. An @angelsenvy Vieux Carre as a nightcap here in Las Vegas. This is not a phoned in cocktail - delicious! Just a few highlights from our dinner @bazaarbyjose here in Las Vegas. This ticked a few things off the culinary bucket list for sure. And mad respect for the Somm who came over after @_cmikk ordered a bottle (!) of Manzanilla sherry with dinner and asked if we knew what we were getting into. (We did, and we loved it. Also…sherry bottle list!!) I am so excited that @usbgmsp Iron Bartender is back! If you’re looking for something to do on the next three Sunday evenings, head over to @amsterdambar651 to cheer on local bartenders and raise money for Project Black and Blue. Three+ months of trial and (mostly) error to make these damn marshmallows. As soon as we had a Pink Squirrel @bryantslounge last summer, I knew it had to be a marshmallow. But trial after trial turned out goopy or “short” (imagine a circus peanut). We’re pretty sure that the sugar content of the @tempus_fugit_spirits Noyaux and Cacao was throwing off the structure. This was annoying me so much that I bought a confectionery science textbook to see if I could figure it out. More ice cream adventures! Homemade cinnamon ice cream to go with Apple crisp made with a gluten free ginger snap topping. It’s so good.
