A killer edition of the Tulip and Schooner newsletter coming tomorrow at noon: a deep dive with Minnesota distiller Jace Marti about Black Frost Blended Rye and Bourbon, and a deep dive into sake making in at Moto-i in Minneapolis. Subscribe to read it all: heavytable.substack.com

Always proud of what the Heavy Table team gets up to, but tomorrow's spirits stuff by @louisgarcia12.bsky.social and @tangledupinfood.bsky.social is particularly strong (figuratively, and literally at least in the case of the whiskeys.)

While many of these spots weren't ones I frequented, I still enjoyed having the option to visit them while in Milwaukee. A lot of missed opportunity. And a darn shame.

It's been a big couple of weeks in the Milwaukee brewing scene. Time for a SUPERTHREAD 🧵 recap/analysis. First is the imminent closing of City Lights Brewing, which is closing after this weekend after seven years in business. 1/x

"My current fantasy, however, is combing the dive bar and brewery experience." This is your spot, @beervana.bsky.social: earthrider.beer/taproom Can confirm it is quite special.
