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

[sherm10161]

Only demerit is the lack of the kick ass old school label. Other than that, fantastic all around.

On the whole, the new (ca 2014 or whenever it was) labels for CW’s barrel aged beers are an improvement. Peruvian Morning was probably the only one that got worse.

2016 & 2017 Darkness at Woodman's in the Falls today. And the mountain of Peruvian is even taller than it was last Friday.

CW obviously makes great beers, but I have had some really good stuff from 3 Sheeps, and I never hear any hype about them

No hype - yet. They have only been around for 6 years and are making some really good beers.

3 Sheeps makes great beer...their branding is just a little weird/hokey. They’re one of my most consistent casks down here too.

 

[furley]

yes! doesn't get a bunch of buzz around here (GB) but i have liked everything from 3 Sheeps so far.

damnit, that's right by my office when i'm working in Milwaukee. not there today or probably any time before Darkness is gone.

Veneration sits on shelves here and it's a better and more complex beer than half the stuff that people chase after. I don't know if I should be happy about its availability or sad at the state of beer chasing culture.

 

[fbslim201]

I’m staying in Brookfield for work next week. Are there any good beer bars or bottle shops nearby I oughta hit?

Champps Americana is your best tap selection for Brookfield. For bottle shops, Otto's Elm Grove, Total Wine, or Discount Liquor (Waukesha). Raised Grain Brewing is also close by in Waukesha.

If you venture in to Milwaukee I'd stop at Third Space Brewing or hop around some of the bars in Bay View.

So it was announced today Hanson is playing the Wisconsin State Fair the same day as GTMW. I am seeing them twice the week before (symphonic shows) and once the week after (another fair), and yet somehow I am still trying to figure out how to do both like a nutter. This is only a cry for help if someone is offering a ride.

How limited is the real question?

 

[sherm10161]

Draft available at the brewery.

I’m a NG homer, but this is remarkable to be honest, on draft anyway. Definitely a unique hop profile. I’ll be buying much, although the stack in the depot is small. Hope the bottles are just as good.

I’m the only person that drives from Milwaukee to New Glarus to buy Pilsner (and Gotlandic).

R&D’s available include vintage 15 & 16, pommier, gotlandic, champ rouge, and sour porter. Down to the last 4 cases of vintage 15. All R&D’s are 4pp.

[sherm10161]

I asked if you wanted to come with me today, but you had better things to do.

 

[sherm10161]

Also, 2 R&D beers for 2018. New Glarus Beer and Bacon Fest, and GTMW. Speculating an unknown style 25th Anniversary Beer for the former, and Vintage 2017 for the latter.

New Glarus Beer and Bacon Fest

We have a group campsite reserved across the road at NG Woods State Park this weekend (June 8 - 10) if anyone wants to hang out and drink some beer.

Hey all. So it looks like I'll be moving to GB at the end of summer. Hopefully I can grab a beer at some point with some of yall!

Welcome! I think there's a small crew of GB folks here. But much like the population, I think most are from Milwaukee or Madison.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks! I figured that was the case but I'm coming from Lubbock, TX, which is the middle of ****** nowhere so I'm pumped.

Sorry for your loss.

Lubbock is really the worst, yall. GB is gonna be like a huge city lol

I don't know **** about Lubbock, but I think there's probably far worse places to end up than GB.

Unless you have an intense dislike for the Packers. That town lives and dies by that team.

They don't have professional football in Texas so I think he'll get along just fine.

Looks like Lubbock is more than twice the population of GB. Hopefully you like cold weather ... and cheese.

Green Bay may have a pro football team but it's no big city. Several suburbs of Chicago have a larger population.

Furley > T/F?

 

[sherm10161]

Lubbock is 5 hours from Dallas, the nearest, larger city.

Within five hours from Green Bay, you have Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, and Minneapolis.
