The WI Thread: FIBs stay the **** out

[Hayden McCall]

I have to ask. What the **** is an FIB. I'm hoping the answer to this question alone is enough that I don't have to ask in turn why you guys seem to hate them so goddamned much. lol

If you have to ask, you can't afford it...

When I head north on 94 – weaving lanes & doing 20-over in my SUV with "Land of Lincoln" plates and a Bears sticker in the back window – to visit friends in Milwaukee, and I stop at the Kenosha Woodmans to plunder the New Glarus section on my way home, then I am a FIB.

Speaking of which, we haven't been up to see our friends up there in a while. I believe a trip is in order...hide yo kids, hide you wife, this FIB's about to wreak havoc on your highways & byways!

Thanks for the explanation. You're not FIBbing to me, are you?

I am still trying to figure out if I am no longer considered a FIB, since I married someone born and raised in Madison, WI...

If you have to ask, then I'm fairly certain you are.

And now you've infected your bride with your sickness.

Little do you know I have infected a large portion of the Madison beer community and it keeps spreading every year...

 

[mjohnson171]

Drank through almost an entire case of Hopster this past weekend. Damn that's a tasty-crushable beer.

Are you saying being FIB is like having an STD?

 

[Tooch4321]

Yep, except it burns more when you pee...

 

[ChicagoGuy]

Oh that's because of all the hot giardiniera we eat down here before fondling ourselves.

these guys are making nice, solid, tasty beers. a good start with some promising one-offs so far. not "zomg RAR WALLZ" but beer you can enjoy. plus: it's a cool spot to hang out and have a drink if you're coming in to town for any reason, really.

Heading to the Dells Wednesday. Any places I should check out other than Liquor Central and Showboat Saloon when I'm there?

BAhahaha. I've spent a few very intoxicated nights there. From what I recall fun was had by all except my wallet.

Except the take-a-number ticket system they use for private lap dances on busy nights feels like a cross between an assembly line and a deli counter.

At least that's what I was told by a guy I know who's been there. Ahem.

Some of these ticket prices are ridiculous. #Newmoney will pay, I'm sure.

Has anyone ever been to the Dells Rare Barrel event before? I will be in MKE that weekend and may venture out to dells if it is worth it. How would it compare to FOBAB?

wait.. what?

 

[SSTroller]

Were they pouring bottles or a keg and how was it?
Any other details on the upcoming release?

Poured from bottles at 2 events in MKE this weekend. Last night Dan and Deb showed their new short film "Tale of the Spotted Cow". That's where this picture was taken. Then today it was also at Crafts and Drafts. It's Milwaukee Beer Week so we have lots of events going on.

I tried to get any info about the release out of them but they were tight lipped about it as usual. My guess would be Madison Beer Week release but that's just a guess.

They did a Q & A after the film and did confirm that there is a fruited wild ale for GTMW.

How was it? Lol. I am the wrong person to ask. My 3 least favorite styles are sours, IPA's and rauch beers. So this one hits 2 out of 3. The wife had it and loved it though. She had it again twice today at C&D.

I trust the better half totally when it comes to sour stuff... therefor im curious to say the least.

I guess I should've spent the weekend in MKE instead of almost getting skunked up on the Wolf
I completely forgot it's MBW.
This sounds right up my alley though. Hopefully I can make the trek one of the release days.

Some other New Glarus rumors floating about:

• Berliner Weiss is the next Thumbprint
• Yokel is the next seasonal
• No Dancing Man Wheat this year (which I infer to mean that Black Wheat, Laughing Fox, or some other wheat is coming later this year)
