Hey Twin Cities folks

[Moonlight J]

My wife & I are coming to Minneapolis next weekend because I had some Delta flight credit I needed to use up & was able to get 1st class flights direct under the amount. We get in mid-day on the 4th and leave around 3p on the 6th. What are some things we should look into doing besides MOA?

At this point I can offer you the Hollydazzle, an annual Christmas festival that just started. The Bride might like that... http://www.holidazzle.com/

Any other interests that you guys have? That might help point the way a bit...

Thanks, Hornsby. We like food & local activities --- which of the breweries would be the best to tour?

Surly has recently opened up a big taproom, well worth the trip. Here's an article about several others...

I'll check with a buddy of mine who's more tuned into the local brewing scene.

Here are some more that he recommended...

Of course I'm a fan of Excelsior, I just went to lucid in Eden Prairie… Lupine in Delano.

But the highest concentrations probably in Northeast 612, dangerous man… And plenty others

Check out Rice Park in St. Paul at night as well, another holiday attraction. Summit Brewery is the big boy here when it comes to breweries. I second Horns on Surly. Surly is the darling of the Twin Cities. I have heard great things about the tour and the attached restaurant.

Surly? The bike company? They also have a brewery? Or just a "beer bar"?

My current favorite is Castle Danger, in Two Harbors MN. Outstanding, and available in most good liquor stores in the Cities.

How's Uber in the area? Was thinking of using the light rail to go into downtown & ride share to go other places. Rental cars are cheap, but a brewery tour isn't as much fun is someone has to drive

Uber's good here...especially in the areas that you're likely to go into. Light rail is great from the MOA, takes you right into either downtown.

Timberwolves play Portland on the 5th at 7 pm, if you'd be into that. Fun team to watch now with Towns, Rubio, and LaVine. The Wild are in town that night as well...but not as much fun, IMO.
