Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss, I presume, from Chippewa Falls, WI.

Pretty impressive visit–and you didn’t even visit St. Paul!

I’m going to St. Paul next month and have been following this thread. I’ll basically have one night (Thursday 9/16) to go out, so I have to choose my pubs carefully. Any drinking suggestions for a person with limited time?

Oh, and **MOL** , could I have your number in case I want to take you up on that “good time.” 😉

I suck at St. Paul, as I spend most of my time in Mpls, but if you like beer, Happy Gnome isn’t bad. I like the bar almost as much as I like its name. If you’re serious about giving me a ring-a-ding, that arranged can be.

That looks like an interesting place. I will drop you a line when the date gets closer.  
Should I be scared?

I just wanted to bump this thread to state that MeanOldLady is neither mean, nor old…and that we got thrown out of a strip club.  
That is all.

You cannot just drop that in here and then clam up. We need details!

Apparently we were not good enough for the crappiest skin bar in town. Also, my jacket smells like fire.
