Alcohol in the news; Quality Beer

From the News Gazette

It's Your Business: New bar opens in downtown Champaign

Downtown Champaign recently welcomed a new watering hole to its lineup of bars.

The long-vacant Lox Stock & Bagel space at Neil and Chester streets is now home to Quality, a place where people can choose from more than 100 different beers, including many microbrews from around the U.S. It opened April 30.


...

Their focus is on American craft beers. On tap they feature 16 of these beers, usually a few pale ales, a wheat beer, stout and others. The beers on tap, such as from Two Brothers Brewing Company and Flossmoor Station of Illinois and Founders Brewing of Michigan, will rotate.


...

Quality is open at 3 p.m. daily and can be reached at 359-3425.





Name Change

Downtown Champaign cupcake bar Cakes on Walnut has changed its name to Cream & Flutter to reflect an expansion in its sweet offerings.

...

Cream & Flutter was considered as a name early on.

A retail element has been added to the shop, including chocolate, cocoa and butter — ingredients they use in their recipes.

Along with an updated logo and look to the menu and packaging (done with the help of University of Illinois graphic designer Samantha Snyder), the shop's interior has been modified.

...

Hours are the same: 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The shop can be reached at 355-5400 and http://www.creamandflutter.com.
