Here's what had St. Louis Park talking this past month.
September is here, which means August is no more. As we turn the page on our calendars, here are the five stories that had St. Louis Park talking last month: 1) A Reunion for the Ages in St. Louis Park Alumni of all ages returned to St. Louis Park High School on Aug. 25 for an all-year reunion to celebrate school history and commit to future educational excellence. 2) Steel Toe Taproom Gets Council's Blessing Thanks to Surly, St. Louis Park's Steel Toe Brewing will soon be able to sell its brews by the pint on-site.

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 …

Following the passage of the "Surly bill" last year, breweries can now sell their brews by the pint on-site.
Steel Toe Brewing in St. Louis Park could soon be selling its brews by the pint on-site if City Council gets behind the plan. Council is considering implementing a "taproom" ordinance, which would allow breweries to sell their own beers—and only their own beers—on the premises. 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 passed taproom ordinances based on the new state law. On Monday, St. Louis Park …
