Pancakes, Leinie's, and Spargelfest

First things first: The Church of the Pancake was amazing. Put on by my creative and culinary-minded friends, it was a free breakfast of pancakes, jug bands, and pancake fiction, open to anyone who knew about it. Attendance was great, the pancakes fluffy, and the weather pristine. Chris Olson sure knows how to flip a flapjack.

Hoping to try a good local beer, I peeked at the chalkboard list of option. What are those two near the bottom? Leinen-WHO-gels?
