Beer Here -- Stone Soup from New Glarus Brewing
by Robin Shepard on 03/27/09 at 2:00 pm | To my surprise, New Glarus Brewing recently announced that this Abbey Ale is now a part of its year-round line-up of beers. We should consider ourselves lucky to have so many talented brewers in and around Madison able to create a broad range of brews that we don't need to look to hard for something special. We are exceptionally fortunate that there are plenty of locally made Belgians in the mix, and Stone Soup is among the best. |

A Book a Week: Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer by Jane Brocket
by Becky Holmes on 03/26/09 at 2:00 pm | Did you ever think up a good idea but do nothing with it, only to discover later that someone else not only had that same idea, but acted on it, thereby making some money and getting some attention in the bargain? How maddening! That is what happened to me with Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer by Jane Brocket. |

Yet the terms of that program aren't what was originally proposed. |

by Mike Wilmington on 03/25/09 at 3:00 pm | Quantum of Solace, eh? The first James Bond picture I saw was Goldfinger, during its first national release, at the Orpheum Theater. The theater was packed from stem to stern, and the audience, many probably University of Wisconsin students like me. |
