May 17-23. While we may not have as many brewers as Portland for instance, we have a few. My nephew Chris "Beer Boy" Anderson travels a lot for business. He just spent a round in Florida and Georgia. He said when he was in a restaurant and asked for a local beer, he was offered a Budweiser which had been bottled somewhere in the area. Not only were there no local crafts, there were no craft beers at all. Gentlemen, if you have good local beer, don't take it for granted. Thank your beer gods.

I just noticed that Lake Superior Brewing is not represented. An anti-social bunch I guess. Their Oatmeal Stout is as good as any I've ever had.

Hey:
Surly brewing. If you buy a 6 pack do you get a frame with that?

While both are based here, there is no connection between Surly and Surly. Offhand I'd say the beer is better than the bikes, although a lot of people like the bikes.
