Food News World of Beer coming to South End
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 3:13 PM
Once upon a time (actually, a little more than a year ago), I used to live in South End — right along the light rail track, in fact. Oh, how I miss it. And not just because a whole WORLD of beer is making the neighborhood its home, either.
Coming in February, World of Beer is opening up at the corner of Bland Street and South Boulevard, at the Circle of South End.
Beer aficionados, here you'll find a selection of 500 beers to choose from. I can already picture the brave souls now, making it their life goal to drink every beer. Luckily, the location is right between the Bland Street and Carson Street stop for the light rail, so no drunk driving allowed.
If you're wondering why a tavern is opening up at an apartment complex, here is some info from WOB's website about what they call the WOB Culture:
The World of Beer Guest Experience is the cornerstone of what we call WOB Culture. WOB Culture is about being a part of the neighborhood. It’s about being surrounded by good people who enjoy awesome beer, great music, and sports. When you walk into World of Beer, we want you to feel like you’re hosting a party in your own living room.
World of Beer has more than 20 locations throughout the country.
(Shout out to the South End blog for the heads up!)
Events Cavities beware: Sweet Tooth Festival tickets on sale

For a dessert indulger like myself, those have to be the three greatest words to put together for the name of an event.
The first ever Sweet Tooth Festival happens on Sunday, Feb. 19. That means you've got a month and a half to diet, exercise and go hard-core on that New Year's resolution to lose weight so you can reward yourself by attending this event.
Scheduled for 2 p.m.-6 p.m., the sampling festival will feature 25 of the area’s top bakeries, chocolatiers, pastry artisans or home-based businesses at Black Lion (10605 Park Road). If you love all things sweet, this is where you'll want to be. Tickets are $25, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Joe Martin ALS Foundation. For more information, visit their website.
