    So I made it to Nutmeg this weekend with my brother and our children.

    Food - not bad. Kids weren't fans (totally not their style) but us adults thought the food pretty tasty.
    Beer - I'm not sure what to say exactly. I will say it's been a long time since I experienced something that bad. I'm shocked they would serve it. I should have known better when the server apologized for the beer PRIOR to serving it
    Service - so/so. I almost felt like they were not wanting to be there?

    That's pretty much it. Oh yeah, clean your windows. I mean, at least try?

    How did the server apologize for the beer?

    Isn't that what people were saying about your place when it opened? You are the Jake Johnson from Tin Whiskers, aren't you?

    No, I am a different one. There are dozens of us in the Twin Cities. Dozens!

    Still skeptical.

    You posted this in response to somebody's complaint about Tin Whiskers:

    Maybe you just work in the industry?

    Yeah, for sure. Someone who posts "they are still outputting a lot of very mediocre beer," certainly SOUNDS like he must be an owner! :astonished:

    To make things even more ambiguous, I am also an engineer that graduated from the University of Minnesota. The big difference is I'm a chemical engineer, so I am far superior to that pedestrian.

    I don't work in the industry, but my team did just win the MN Beer Bowl, so I'm kind of a big deal.

    I disbelieve your identity even though you have no reason to conceal it.

    I'm not how my real name was figured out. I thought the anonymity of a username was sufficient.

    Can we please keep this on topic boys? Unnecessary banter going on here and that's clouding the thread.

    You say you don't work in the industry, but wasn't your team somehow connected to Wild Mind Artisan Ales? If so, can we get an update on the brewery status given the topic of this thread? :wink:

    Oh damn. A forum was briefly off-topic in a friendly way? We will try to do better. :rolling_eyes:

    That was one of my teammates, so I can't comment on it at this time.

    To make it up to you, I want you to go to Tin Whiskers with a baker's dozen of your closest friends and tell the bartenders I sent you. They'll know what to do.

    Confused about Angry Inch. If they just got their license, doesn't that mean they couldn't brew until they got their license? I thought all licenses, inspections and approvals had to be complete before the first batch was brewed, not just served? Am I incorrect?
