The St. Louis Park brewery will be able to sell beer by the glass.
Thanks to Surly, St. Louis Park's Steel Toe Brewing will soon be able to sell its brews by the pint on-site. City Council on Monday unanimously approved changes to its zoning and liquor codes that will allow the year-old brewery to sell its own beer on the premises. If other breweries open in St. Louis Park, they too will be allowed to have "taprooms." Last year, Surly Brewing made a push at the legislature to allow just this. Before passage of the "Surly bill," Minnesota breweries couldn't sell pints on-site. Now, taprooms are popping up at Twin Cities locales such as Fulton Beer, Harriet Brewing and Lift Bridge Brewery. City councils have been behind the surge, as the cities of Stillwater, St. Paul and Minneapolis—among others—have …

Need a great gift? Or want to plan a fun outing with dad? St. Louis Park has you covered.
So, what to get for dad on Father's Day? And what to do? Mother's Day seems a bit easier. Get mom a card and some flowers, and cook so she doesn't have to. Done deal.

Luckily, St. Louis Park is a really cool city, and as such, there are some great gift ideas to be found here, as well as a few fun places to take dad. On that note, a list of both: St. Louis Park is quickly becoming known as a destination for beer (this fun event last weekend serves as proof. So does this outstanding beer Q&A). To capitalize, take your dad over to the up-and-coming Steel Toe Brewing tonight (at 6 or 7) for a brewery tour. Or swing …
