It's almost like Hegseth has no idea of the significance of Arlington. Nah, that's pretty basic knowledge for someone who went to Princeton and Harvard, and a student of not only history, but military history.

There are some really cool spots in that area (believe me, I thought about it 25 years ago!) The beer business is in a weird place right now, so probably not something coming soon. Things are cyclical, and that neighborhood is definitely something someone should consider.

Been a minute since I lived there (37th and Garfield), but my gut is it missed the window because of 3.2 license zoning. 36th and Nicollet bar (I think it was called Casey's or something similar) was a 3.2 joint. When Pat's Tap moved in, that changed.

starting to think maybe RFK Jr. was telling the truth in the hundreds of podcasts and speeches he did about being anti-vax and then lied that one time in front of Congress

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

On the bright side, he'll probably get the rate cut he wants just as the recession is going full tilt. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/b...

Such a common misconception. Talk to HR like you would to a cop

They could revive the Coffee Creek band name

I see you mentioned it later in the thread. Yeah, he was bartending in St Paul at the time after being fired by email.😬 He also told me he was making more money bartending, which probably isn't surprising

I asked Dave Boquist once how he got to play lead guitar in Son Volt. He said "Jay told me he liked how I played." Interesting to note Jay still played lead on Chickamauga

I wonder how the brewers that are mad feel about their IPAs having higher ratings than Orval (3.68), DuPont (3.68) Westmalle Dubbel (3.69) Spezial U (3.69), etc

DOJ files misconduct complaint against chief DC Judge James Boasberg U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has been in Trump administration’s crosshairs since he ordered the return of more than 200 Venezuelan immigrants summarily deported to El Salvador in March.

It would probably be too much to ask that reporters correctly call Boasberg a Bush appointment rather than an Obama appointment www.courthousenews.com/doj-files-mi...

I was in Montgomery, MN today for Kolacky Days. A couple of weeks ago, I was in Gibbon, MN for Fun Fest. To all my friends in the metro area: go to some of these small town festivals. They are everywhere, and always entertaining. Great day trips from where ever you live.

I'm boycotting by living in New Ulm. Your mileage may vary

Pints and pews: Mount Olivet's plan for a brewery The Southwest Minneapolis church has aims at building a coffee house and brewery

"While a church building a brewery is almost unheard of" may be the funniest thing I've read this week. I mean, at least qualify that statement with "in the United States" www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

You have to love Chan just tossing his keyboard. He's like "why should guitar players have all the fun? "

Served in a pint glass, which was the same vessel Shane McGowan preferred for martinis. More Gin drinks in pint glasses!

That would indeed be a surprise

Why are so many Minnesota breweries closing? Here’s a six-pack of reasons. From tariffs to THC, the local craft beer scene is facing challenges.

The excise tax part of this article is misleading. In MN, you get a tax credit of $4.60 for the first 25k Bbls if you produce less than 250k Bbls. So breweries less than 25k Bbls pay less state excise tax in MN than WI. www.startribune.com/minnesota-br...
