Kingpin food on a volunteer budget at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

I have purchased it at Kappy’s in Medford (Wellington) and Sav-Mor Liquors by the Twin City Plaza in Somerville.

My folks live in Oregon and when I visit I drink my share of Mirror Pond Pale Ale (Deschutes Brewery, Bend, OR). I’m wondering whether any hounds know whether bars or restaurants serve this in Minneapolis/St Paul, or...

I’m trying to remember if the ginger drink on the menu at West Indies Soul is “beer” or something else. Whatever it’s called, the drink is mega-gingery and delicious. I know that the Mississippi Market...

I am spending a few days in Minneapolis (starting today) and would appreciate a quite update on good places to eat. I haven’t been to the Twin Cities in a few years.... The two places that attracted my attention in my...

I’m visiting Detroit and wondering if Detroit metro or Windsor offers anywhere that brews a good English-style bitter, or any cask-conditioned real ale at all for that matter? Served at 53F & hand pulled. I see plenty of...

disappointing, borderline awful... While I’m on the subject, I hate Newkie Brown. My twin spent a semester in Newcastle and never once came across the hometown-named brew. Americans may be the only ones dumb enough to...
