I am really excited to try the Sassy Spoon! Hoping to get time to find them next week when I’m on jury duty– I work in Mpls and so don’t normally make it to St. Paul over lunch.

Interesting I’ll have to pick up a sixxer and see what this is all about.

It is nice to see some divergence from the overhopped beer a lot of local craft brewers push.

Haha, I come off like a jerk in this article (though those were my exact words, so I can’t attribute it to a misquote).

BrianJ – I believe the sentiment of the group was the PBR and the Summer Ale would be only be comparable in their ability to be pounded after heavy yardwork. I think the group would agree that in every other aspect, they aren’t comparable beers.

And I loved the Unchained Kolsch – but I seem to recall it being much more expressive in both aroma and flavor than the Summer Ale.

Comment on Around the Poker Table: Summit Summer Ale and Saga IPA by BrianJ

BrianJ — Tue, 22 May 2012 17:18:19 +0000

Fun article though I don’t agree with the opinions.

I really enjoy the subtlety of the Summer Ale and its predecessor the Unchained Kolsch. I feel like my progression of beer drinking went from mild flavored beers to extreme flavored beers and then back to a place where I can appreciate either.

I think if you tasted Summer Ale and PBR side by side you’d see that they shouldn’t be compared.

I really enjoy Saga too, it’s not just about the quantity of the hops it’s about the qualitative aspects. It’s got great hop smell and flavor if not extreme bitterness.

Comment on Angel Food Bakery & Coffee Bar in Downtown Minneapolis by Emily Schnobrich

I wrote the story, not James.

I’ve been working in restaurants and bakeries for years, both front AND back of the house.

I appreciate your comments. Loyalty is great.

But I appreciate Cynthia Gerdes’s comments the most. She is clearly a smart, gracious restauranteur who doesn’t fly off the handle when criticized. Probably one of the reasons Hell’s Kitchen remains a most beloved Twin Cities spot. Best of luck!

Holy Cow! And Help?
While we so very much appreciate the thoughtful comments of support for our brand new bakery, we really don’t want to be in the middle of this interesting debate. We’d just prefer to bake our hearts out, keep decorating cupcakes while you watch us in action, and let our customers be the judge. So thank you to all who have rallied on our behalf, thank you to all who have showered us with good reviews on Facebook and elsewhere, thank you to James Norton for writing about us in the first place and then fielding some interesting comments, and HUGE thanks if this ages-old debate can be continued elsewhere… otherwise, Mr. Norton will think our Moms have been behind this ;) Cynthia Gerdes
