Oh, To Be In Milwaukee In A Beer Garden There
Posted by on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 in - 1 comment
What an advanced form of civilization they must have in Milwaukee: • The county would likely get a percentage of sales from each beer garden. The county's request for proposals suggests a minimum of 15%. "I'm not saying I can pull it off, but I'm putting it before the public," Black said …
Evan Rail Ensured My New Glarus Mules Were Happy

Does that make sense? My co-workers have family in Wisconsin which means I get a share in New Glarus mixed cases once in a while. Moon Man Pale Ale. Me happy. To keep them happy in return - because only a fool does not want to keep that deal going - I share some of my beer travel findings and have …

It's Memorial Day weekend in the USA and I am celebrating. Mainly because I've been sick since the middle of last weekend's Victoria Day long weekend up here. Being in a border town it's not a great stretch even if I can't get over to witness one of the glories of the western world, a small town … read more »

A Belgian pale ale from the USA's Upper Midwest. This one smells good. Either that or I smell really bad. I've just finished two 16 hour days so it is not beyond the realm of possibility. But I've been in a jacket and tie the whole time. So it's likely the beer or the guy next to me was …
Is It A Mooing Monk Or A Cornval?

This is the second in my triptych of posts about blending New Glarus Spotted Cow with Belgian ales of note. In the first its blending partner was Duval and I came to like the 66.7% Spotted Cow 33.3% Duval ratio the best. Tonight? Who knows? • 50% Spotted Cow - 50% Orval: On the nose, this brew … read more »

Knut made an interesting observation today about the way social media (a far better phrase than "community") creates the unexpected, brings beer fans and brewers together on the level. No one is in charge and each is responsible for their own degree of honesty. I was so interested that I tried to …
Wisconsin: Wisconsin Belgian Red, New Glarus Brewing, New Glarus

Is that not the most repetitive title to a post yet? I wonder if New Glarus is in New Glarus County...or maybe Wisconsin county. Anyway, this is simply an incredible beer. Stan and Daria brought it to us when they visited this summer. Once upon a time, I had a small old farmhouse and it was near a …
Wisconsin: Bitter Woman IPA, Tyranena Brewing, Lake Mills

My mid-west beer territory has expanded care of Stan's visit the other day. The New Glarus Spotted Cow of the other night was my first WI brew (of the non-cricketing WI that is) and here's the next one - Bitter Woman IPA from Lake Mills' Tyranena. The brewer tells us that the bitter woman in …
Is Wisconsin The Continent's Beervana?

Slumming around the internet, I came across this article about beer and Wisconsin which made me wonder whether it is the beer friendliest jurisdiction in North America. • “From handing out free samples at grocery stores to shunning a proposed tax increase, Wisconsin lawmakers love their beer … read more »
Russia v. Green Bay
Posted by on Tuesday, April 5, 2005 in - leave a comment
Beer teaches. At least in the sense that you learn a few things when hunting for beer stories. Consider this latest decree from Vlad Putin: • “A ban on consumption of beer in public places came into effect in Russia this month, but no one knows how effectively it can be enforced. • President …
