Good Bad & The Monkey

    - Leinenkugel's - Chippewa Falls, WI

     

    Turns out I crashed last night just 15 miles from here, so I added a stop. They give 4 tastes + one special taste (their special limited edition IPA that was not all that bad). I ended up tasting 6 total Smile

      I was expecting more in the way of pictures.

       

      Between chasing the kiddos, logging the beers on untappd and drinking at a rate to keep up with the furious pour speed, it has been tough. I will start now that the kiddos are unloaded (partially, moreso in a week).


      Feeling the growl again

        Man, just watching you try to log all those beers made me think it would take some of the fun out of it for me.

          heh.  Was good fun, with good company. But yeah, Flat12 was a bit of a challenge.

              Recent facebook post by my wife:

               

              "I told Andy that we are so different, when I get stressed I reach for something sugary with chocolate and he reaches for alcohol.  He replied that his vice was better because a liver regenerates, but once you kill off the beta cells in your pancreas you're a diabetic for life."

               

              I just booked a trip to Vienna for early October.  I will have the last afternoon/evening free from work before I return.  They speak German, there has got to be some good beer I can find there...

                  - Surly Brewing Company(no open tasting room, cans obtained tho)

                  - Fulton Beer Company

                   

                  Today, with Bendice, hit Fulton. Had 2 tastings and a full pint. Awesome tasty stuff.

                   

                  Surly does not have a taproom that is open, except during tours. Thankfully, Don S took care of what I needed! Oh yeah. And Bendice got me some other local beers to taste.

                   

                  For Finn, from the Fulton taproom:

                   

                  Tap list, with an IPA -

                   

                   

                  Worthy Adversary RIS (one of the best integrated I have tasted, much milder than most but still high ABV) -

                      With all that booty to fit in the vehicle after this trip, you're going to have to leave the oldest with $100 pinned to their shirt to find their own way home....  Big grin

                       

                      BTW, picked up 2 more Indiana beers for you today...
