No...don't call the doctor. But I'm sure there's on nearby since we're in Rochester, MN. The old home town is growing up - there are two breweries open and two more under construction. Our good friend Pat lives in Rochester and works at Mayo...and we're fortunate enough that he was available to visit Rochester's first brewery Kinney Creek. It was a cool little startup just a few blocks to my alma motter John Marshall High School. They have 15 total beers on tap, but surprise surprise we chose the pale ale, wheat and the west coast IPA and DIPA. Pat got the bock, stout, DIPA and one other. With only a salad for lunch, he was feeling a little tipsy pretty quick with the 7-9.5% ABV choices he made :-) The west coast DIPA was something different...very smooth and no hop bitterness. It was Terri's favorite! Mine, too actually.
Since Pat is such a lightweight I had to drive his car back to his house then we piled into the already full 4-Runner and went downtown to Newts for burgers. Craig, Jane and Parker have been to Newts, so they can vouch for how good their burgers are. The peanut butter burger and the juicy Lucy :-). The onion rings were really good too. We're gonna have to do a little dieting when we get home!!
