by David Scheller Don Kenna’s first beer was just like everyone else’s: a horrendously cheap brand, squirreled away to the home of a high school classmate whose parents had trusted them alone, and gulped down guiltily. He didn’t like his first beer a bit, but rather than commit social hari-kari, he pretended that he did. Fortunately for us, Don eventually acquired a taste for it.

“I’m the son of immigrants, a true American,” stand-up comedian Russ Rivas told me. “My father was Guatemalan, and my mother was a Jew from Poland. That’s an awkward mix of a heritage. I always wanted to hit the piñata, but I was afraid that if I broke it we couldn’t return it to the store.” “It’s my theory that Italians are all descended from Jews and Guatemalans, because everywhere I go, people think I’m an Italian. I can’t even get a table at a restaurant without the hostess seating me with my back to the wall.”

The Hotel Donaldson’s name alone sparks inquiry. It’s a unique name, to be sure, and a fitting one at that. Far more than an inn for weary travelers in which to lay their heads, The Hotel Donaldson is a trendy, art-inspired hangout and upscale dining experience located in downtown Fargo on 101 Broadway N. The Hotel Donaldson’s building was originally a lodge belonging to the International Order of Oddfellows, a fraternal organization that is still active today.
It was damaged during the Great
Fargo Fire of 1893, and was eventually sold and remodeled into a European-style hotel. Little changed about the hotel since its grand opening in the mid 1910’s until Karen Stoker bought it in 2000. She took her time to revamp the old haunt, but in 2003 The Hotel Donaldson would again open its doors. It was well worth the wait. The Hotel Donaldson’s décor is marvelous. The bare bones of the building, exposed brick and steel beams, are festooned with brilliant modern art. The Hotel Donaldson is foremost an altar of all things Fargo: Seventy regional artists’ works are hung throughout, and the food is locally sourced as much as local sources permit it. In this way the hotel appeals to proud Fargons as well as outof-towners who want to steep themselves in the local character. Each of The Hotel Donaldson’s 17 rooms feature their own different artist and motif. They’re all featured on HotelDonaldson. com, so you may decide which room best fits your refined tastes before booking. Don’t go online expecting hotels’ cliché paintings of egrets in tall grass, lonely beach houses, or bowls of fruit -the pieces in The Hotel Donaldson were chosen to provoke and inspire, in the way that all great art should.

Ireland has a history of brewing dating back over 5,000 years. Traditional Irish monks were expert herbalists who could flavor beers with the local flora, and legend has it that St. Patrick himself had his own personal brewer. Ireland’s beer has always been good not just to suit the country’s high demand for the stuff. Ireland also enjoys the perfect trifecta for growing barley: fertile soil, gentle rain, and the cool breezes that waft over the northern Atlantic. That tradition continues wherever the Irish settle. Drumconrath Brewing Company, named for its founder Sam Corr’s ancestral hometown in County Meath, Ireland, began like most microbreweries do nowadays: with an avid enthusiast, a garage, and a lot of trial and error. “The first batch of beer I ever made was with a Mr. Beer homebrewing kit,” said Sam. “It was pretty bad. The side of the box had a guy holding up frost mug of beer with the caption, ‘It’s real beer, and I made it’ and I was like, ‘No, it’s reconstituted syrup.’ So I gathered a modge podge of makeshift equipment and got a fermenter starter kit from the local homebrew shop and dove in head first with all grain brewing.”

are still relatively new here, so there is plenty of room to grow.”
“The beauty of running your own brewery is that you can offer less conventional beers, ones you know people will love, without having to run it by a committee first”
Drumconrath Brewing Company is located at 349 Knutson St, Unit B in Mapleton. Go there any time of year to try one of Sam’s finely crafted beers on-site and take their mainstays or new varieties home with you in a 64-ounce growler. It’s the best way around to get the finest that Ireland, the Midwest, and, most importantly, beer have to offer.
That quest for character leads Drumconrath Brewing to always try to be creative. With over half their taps dedicated to rotating styles, and the ever-evolving tastes of the public looking for something new and exciting, the challenge is not just making good beer, but also coming up with beers that others in the area don’t have. “You have to be innovating, otherwise you’re always behind. One of the things I like to play with is nitrogen. By nitrogenating a beer it changes the profile from how it would be if it were served on carbon dioxide. It would be smoother, easier drinking. But should erupt with aroma.” You can try any of Sam’s creations at Drumconrath’s taproom, a beer hall adjacent to the brewery with 50 seats, a patio, and eight taps. Five of those taps rotate to demonstrate Sam’s latest inventions. The other three are devoted to Sam’s most popular beers. The Ribbonman Red, an aptly named Irish red ale, is Drumconrath’s flagship beer. It’s a malt-forward beer with a deep red color, almost dark enough to be confused with a stout. Ribbonman Red owes a great part of its sweetness to the 20 pounds of local honey used in each batch, which also lends it a hint of plums and currents. Drumconrath’s GaelForce IPA is brewed in the classic American fashion. Darker and with a maltier backbone than most modern IPAs, GaelForce’s hops add to its flavor and aroma instead rather than bitterness. “GaelForce’s intense sweetness and citrus scent make it taste almost like you’re drinking juice,” said Sam.

Bird Trivia by David Scheller
The dodo was very easy to hunt, which is why the Portuguese named it after their word for “idiot.” The Dutch settlers’ name for the dodo was walgvogel, meaning “disgusting bird.” All chickens on earth are descended from the Gallus gallus gallus subspecies of the red junglefowl of Thailand. According to a medieval law that is still observed today, any unclaimed mute swan in open waters in England and Wales is property of Queen Elizabeth II, if she wants it. This is the sort of tyranny that the Revolutionary War was fought over. In a 1981 episode of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Big Bird revealed that he is a golden condor. There is no such bird in real life. Homing pigeon Cher Ami helped to save the lives of 194 American troops during WWI by delivering this message across enemy lines: “We are along the road paralell [sic] to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us.
For heavens sake stop it.” Cher Ami had been shot through the breast and lost a leg and an eye during her heroic 25 mile flight. As they are too light to set off any of the thousands of landmines buried there in the 1980’s, penguins now thrive in the Falkland Islands where they may live unbothered by people. The kakapo is the world’s only flightless parrot. It lives in New Zealand, where it evolved extremely ineffective mating behaviors as a way to prevent overpopulation in a habitat where it once had no predators. Kakapo mating calls are just barely audible, and females are only in the mood when a certain kind of tree is in fruit.

The plastic flamingo is the official bird of Madison, Wisconsin. Busch Gardens invited male supermodel Fabio to take the inaugural ride on their new roller coaster Apollo’s Chariot on March 30, 1999. During the coaster’s initial drop, a goose in flight struck Fabio in the face at a speed of 70 mph. Poor Fabio would require three stitches as the result, although the goose fared far worse. The American woodcock is the slowest flying bird with a maximum flight speed of 5 mph. Rather than sit on them, the Australian brushturkey buries its eggs in a giant mound of rotting leaves. The heat released via the composting process incubates the eggs. Australian brushturkey chicks are on their own as soon as they emerge from the pile. Scrooge McDuck’s net worth is “five multiplujillion, nine impossibidillion, seven fantastica trillion dollars and sixteen cents.” Over the course of its lifetime an Arctic tern will migrate approximately 1.5 million miles, equal to three trips to the moon and back.

Although Weird Al is best known for his parodies, he is in fact a master musician with an impressive oeuvre of original songs. It’s anyone’s guess what he’ll decide to play in Fargo. He may dust off his subtle, emotional masterpiece “Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars.” He may remind us all of the unsettling truth with “Everything You Know Is Wrong.” He just may melt our faces off with frenzied medleys of improvised polka, a genre of music which we’re desperately deprived of here in the Midwest. Whatever Weird Al gives us, however, it’s bound

he best way to make something magnificent is to combine two things that are already great on
their own. Combine milk and sugar, and you get ice cream. Combine corn and the South, and you get Bourbon. Put Paul McCartney and John Lennon together, and you get The Beatles.

course I mean classic rock and Mexican food, you get Vinyl Taco. Placed on 520 1st Ave N in Fargo, this joint offers authentic, from scratch south of the border fare set to turntable music. “When it comes to music, you can’t beat the soul that comes from records,” said Vinyl Taco’s general manager Anthony Dub. “We always keep two turntables spinning behind the bar, and we only play the best that you can find on vinyl: The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steve Miller Band -- if it rocks, it plays. I love seeing people tapping their toes while they enjoy our food.” To
contrast
their
unconventional
soundtrack for a Mexican restaurant, Vinyl Taco leans traditional with their food menu. All of their dishes are prepared in the same fashion perfected by Mexico’s best cooks. Their pork belly tacos are outstanding, as they use the same cut of meat which bacon is made from and cure it for 12 hours to make one of the softest, juiciest, best uses of pork in the Midwest. Their tacos molcajetes come in a big, pig shaped bowl, prepared according to a secret recipe that not even magazine writers are privy to and perfect for sharing. Their barbacoa, carne asada, and fajitas are also fine remedies for a Fargoan winter. Who would have thought that the perfect food for cold weather could come from Mexico?

Cottonwood Cider House by David Scheller
Cottonwood Cider House is the child of tradition and innovation. It all began in 1884 when Karolius and Olianna Nelson emigrated from Norway to Dakota Territory, eager to see what the black and unbroken soil of the new world could do for them. Their son Nels would plant the cottonwood trees that give the farm its name today. Their grandson Norman realized the farm’s potential for high yielding crops, and sold his cattle to focus on grain production. He would have the first on-sight grain leg in Cass County. Their great-grandson Chuck switched to organic farming methods and made Cottonwood the first certified organic farm in the county. Now Karolius’s and Olianna’s great-great-granddaughter Stacy and her husband Dan carry the fire. Although reimagining the farm was Stacy’s birthright, it was also a necessity. Her father had sold all of his grain farming machinery when he retired in 2006, so continuing in that vein presented certain impossibilities. Stacy decided to grow apples, so she turned Cottonwood Farm into an orchard. She grows her trees without the aid of pesticides, and lets native flowers and grasses take root between them. “This attracts natural pollinators. Birds nest in the branches,” said Stacy. “Sure, we find the occasional peck in an apple, but growing as nature intended means our fruit tastes like the land rather than chemicals.”
Stacy and Dan plan to produce 6,000 gallons of hard cider this year, 30 times what they did during the last.
Stacy’s decision to make hard cider was natural too. Her husband Dan had always enjoyed brewing craft beer, a fine distraction from his full-time job as a corrections officer. With Stacy’s newfound abundance of apples and Dan’s brewing expertise, the stage was perfectly set for the creation of Cottonwood Cider House. “Going from working with five gallon carboys to 500 gallon fermentation tanks was quite a steep learning curve,” said Stacy. “Dan has the patience of a saint, though, and his familiarity with the process on a small scale was all he needed to master our big new facility. He’s the best cider house manager an orchardist like me could hope for. A match made in heaven!” Stacy and Dan plan to produce 6,000 gallons of hard cider this year, 30 times what they did during the last. Their cider is unsweetened, crisp, and dry as they permit their apples’ natural sugars to ferment until the drink is 6.9% alcohol. This is low enough to prevent the boozy sting from overpowering their farm’s delicate terroir, but high enough to elevate your own spirits after a bottle or two. “I’m proud of our cider,” said Stacy. “We have our hands in every step of the process. We planted the trees and care for them, pick the apples, juice them, ferment them, and bottle it all by ourselves. It’s a wonderful feeling to tell our customers how proud we are of what we do.” “Knowing that every bottle of cider we make continues the legacy my great-great-grandparents began over 130 years ago...that’s a feeling that’s kind of hard to put into words.”

PRAIRIE ROSE
MEADERY
NORTH DAKOTA - NATIONALLY AWARDED HONEY WINE by David Scheller
For as long as there has been alcohol, there have been people figuring out ways of making it. Many ingredients have proven themselves worthy of the sacred transmutation: barley, grapes, corn, cane sugar, rice, apples, sorghum, agave, bread, and even yogurt. With its sweetness and purity, however, nothing calls to be turned into a libation quite like honey does. Even the ancients agreed -- cave paintings show that we’ve been gathering honey for at least 10,000 years, and archaeology proves that we’ve fermented alcohol with the stuff for at least nearly that long. Could it only be coincidence that “bees” sounds so much like “booze?” Almost certainly, although that doesn’t detract from the fact that mead is very good. North Dakota native Susan Ruud is taking mead onward. She has studied agriculture at NDSU, her alma mater, for the past 27 years. When she started there her coworkers got her interested in homebrewing, a natural pastime for botanically-minded people. Susan quickly found beer, cider, and mead in particular as the perfect distractions from her work fighting canola ailments, and her newfound passion brought her to a slew of homebrewing competitions which she won. She would soon join the governing committee of the American Homebrewers Association and now enjoys good company with their 45,000 members. They inspired her to found Prairie Rose Meadery.

The
bees there gather clover, alfalfa, and sunflower pollen to make the perfectly spicy and pure honey for brewing mead. (Whether Kindred’s bees believe their honey is best suited for mead and not, say, bee consumption is a matter of opinion.) Prairie Rose Meadery goes through over 600 gallons of local honey per year to brew 19,000 bottles of mead. “My mead has a nice balance,” said Susan. “Its alcohol level is on par with wine’s, enough to elevate its delicate flavors without overwhelming them. When you smell it, you get the gentle aroma of honey as well as the different fruits I include in the batches.”
In
made only with honey, Susan creates a variety of melomels with fruits including blackberry, apricot, plum, cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and lemon. She also makes metheglins with hints of spice like vanilla, cinnamon, mint, star anise, and ginger. Susan is inventive with her recipes. She brews a pineapple chipotle mead which has a touch of heat to compliment its tropical flavor, and she uses her neighbor’s own maple syrup to make a sweet, arboreal mead. Prairie Rose Meadery has a tasting room at 3101 39th St S, Suite E in Fargo where you may drink their meads right where they’re brewed. Try a flight of several different kinds of mead there, have a whole glass of your new favorite, or take a bottle home with you. It’s a cozy den with a bar, leather couches, television, and a light menu with all the snacks requisite for fine drinking. the buzz is about?
