Not gonna lie I’d eat New Ulm Style Meatloaf

Beer Belongs, a cookbook full of recipes featuring beer. Produced by the Minnesota Beer Wholesalers Association in 1992.

NEW ULM STYLE
MEATLOAF
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 envelope (1-1/2 oz. size) spaghetti sauce mix
1 - 8 oz. can beer
1 tbsp. instant minced onion
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup Pepperidge Farm sage bread stuffing mix
Combine meat with other ingredients; mix well. Shape into loaf and place in loaf pan or shallow baking pan. Bake in 350° oven for 1 hour, or until well browned. If desired, 4 strips of bacon may be laid over top of the loaf after it has baked for 30 minutes. When done, let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
This recipe can also be made into meatballs.

I went to Summit Friday to celebrate their 40th anniversary. They had a nice crowd and a killer taco truck called Chili Lime. I caught up with my old boss Mark Stutrud and heard his side of the foreclosure saga. Everyone at Summit believes they’ll find a way. It’s easy to root against a bank.

I’m seeing Sturgill Simpson / Johnny Blue Skies tonight. He probably won’t play Choosin’ Texas and that’s fine with me.

I looked up Choosin’ Texas. Listened to it for the first time. My wife walked in the room and started singing along. She knows it from Instagram Reels. Anyway Margo Price has a dozen country songs stronger than this one.

How long are you keeping leftovers in your fridge? I met a woman yesterday who said she’ll cook a meal and eat the leftovers a week later. No freezing, just fridging. Meanwhile I’ll keep most food for two days max.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Loaded my main dude into the bike trailer and took him to the park. Chased him around and fed him a bowl of chocolate ice cream when we came home. Then he looked at me and called me a giraffe.

This is exactly correct. Breweries nationwide have swallowed steep increases in prices for aluminum and pretty much everything else required to brew and package beer. It’s ugly everywhere.

Summit’s founder Mark Stutrud loves being out in the trade, supporting the people who pour his beer. He hates taprooms — they take business from the bars who buy his kegs. One of the reasons Summit is different from other breweries, getting you to visit their brewery was never their goal.
