Episode #159 Blue Sun Soda

In today's episode Andrea sits down with Mark Lazarchic, the owner of Blue Sun Soda 

We taste two of the options that Blue Sun make

Finally, we discuss the soda fountain and the pinball league

We would like to thank Mark for sitting down for an interview with Andrea, and for opening up about how it all came to be

The State Fair Chocolate Chip Cookies soda is incredible and really does taste just like baked cookies.

The Blue Cheese Dressing Soda, well, it really does taste like Blue Cheese Dressing with cane sugar. It's... interesting, but in the best way.

We really do suggest that you give the selection a shot, and you can contact them to see if their wares are available near you.

Episode #158 Bang Brewing

We wanted to share the photo that Andrea took of the mounted comparison of the Kernza plant next to a more common Wheat stalk:

The articles we mentioned aren't the only reading on the topic, but there are plentiful links available within them:

National Geographic article (may require signing in or providing an email address)

Star Tribune article that we also discussed

The Land Institute website with other resources to learn about Kernza

We really enjoyed our time at Bang Brewing, and we think you should head over for a visit if you have the opportunity.
