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

[sjstraub]

Compared to where? Options on the north shore are somewhat limited.

Pretty much anywhere in Bayview. But, you're right, they are the best beer bar in the area (and closest to my work, so I'm there fairly regularly).

popped in to D&V saturday. nothing there i couldn't walk out without. being that it was so small, there wasn't room for my wife and i with the 8 people already inside.

we were running a bit behind anyways so just headed to the hotel.

looks like a nice spot with the tables outside.

man, Milwaukee has changed a lot.... for the better

Yeah, it doesn't come close to a world class beer bar and I certainly wouldn't recommend it in general as a must hit for Milwaukee but if you're in Shorewood it's a good place to stop.

Steve, next time you hit up D&V let me know. I'll mosey my way over there.

New Glarus' website has a job opening for a distiller.

Thanks again for posting this, my friend got called for an interview! He's on Cloud 9 right now...

That's freaking awesome! Hope he gets the gig!

 

[Tooch4321]

That's freaking awesome! Hope he gets the gig!

Considering he's been distilling fruit based spirits, especially apple brandy including barrel aging and blending the products for the past couple years, I'd say (fingers crossed) he's a very strong contender...

More deets on NG Zwickel on The Book Face this morning:

Available only in our Beer Depot starting tomorrow- Zwickel Bier!

When Master Brewer Daniel Carey was a young apprentice in Bavaria, Reinheitsgebot Lager was the bier that he brewed. Zwickel Bier is Dan’s confident response to the question, “What’s your favorite beer?”.

Zwickel Bier is the Wisconsin version of this lager. Although this bier shares the name of a beer produced by New Glarus Brewing Company a few years ago, this one is new and different, and only available at the New Glarus Brewery Hilltop facility. Zwickel Bier is assertively hoppy, and complex.

The glacial water of Wisconsin softens a decoction mash of the finest Czech and English malts. Dan travelled around the world to personally select the German, Czech, and French hops that he used in six separate hop additions. Finally Zwickel Bier had a long lager on Dan’s proprietary Munich yeast just as brewers have done for 500 years. Zwickel Bier, straight from the tanks, has undergone its third and final fermentation in the bottle in order to ensure that you getting the freshest possible Lager bier.

Brewery hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Sales of Zwickel are limited to two cases per person.

Their stills in 750s tend to be meh, but their sparkling session meads (Criminal KLP and Bananas Foster esp) are killer as is Barrel Aged Borealis (traditional aged in Boris Barrels).

I am angling hard for a trip to The Fitz the following weekend with fear025 and somehow seeing that much of Wisconsin 2 weekends in a row doesn't appeal to me. <3 XOXO

[JohnfromPurdue]

Using the google machine, I have since learned that a 10k is an AMERICAN 6.21 miles. 6.21 miles is 32,932 feet. My beer fridge is about 10 feet away from my couch. So this runny thing is about 32,922 feet further than I desire to walk at any given time.

The description reads like it is a lighter, fruitier, more refreshing Hefe than Dancing Man.

I like that they're not using their normal hefe yeast. Hopster was pretty decent, but I just can't stand the overwhelming clove flavors in Dancing Man.

Kind of comes down to what your preferences are with regards to hefeweizen strains, do you want the banana of Schneider or the clove of Weinstephaner.

Count myself firmly in the Weinstephaner / Dancing Man / clove camp.

I want the Banana of Schneider. I am not talking about flavors though.
