the Wisconsin beer list

In no particular order, the beers I consumed during my trip last weekend...

1. Lakefront Brewery Trocadero White Ale (Milwaukee) - My first beer of the trip. A light, Belgian-style Wit enjoyed on the patio of the Trocadero Bar along with a Wisconsin cheese flight.
   
2. Lakefront Brewery Eastside Dark Lager (Milwaukee) - Malty, tasty, and a bit more my speed. Definitely went better with the 10 year aged cheddar, too.
   
3. Lakefront Brewery Fat Abbey Strong Ale (Milwaukee) - Nightcap at the Trocadero's sister bar, Fat Abbey. Sticking with the high alcohol content after the Man Man show. Yum.
   
4. Water Street Brewery Oktoberfest (Milwaukee) - Probably one of the sweeter Oktoberfest's I've had. Wasn't a big fan of this one. Though I did love the classic Fish Fry at the Turner Restaurant. Mmmm, potato pancakes...
5. Water Street Brewery Pale Ale (Milwaukee) - Better, but nothing to write home about.
   
6. Furthermore Proper (Spring Green) - Interesting style. Drinkable.
   
7. Furthermore Fallen Apple (Spring Green) - A blend of cream ale (totally underrated yet delicious beer in my humble opinion) and cider. Had the nicest finish.
   
8. New Glarus Fat Squirrel (New Glarus) - Dark, cold, pleasantly bitter... Which also happens to describe our campsite as we spent the evening trying to get a decent fire going.
   
9. Ale Asylum Hopalicious (Madison) - Best hoppy beer of the trip. A pitcher for $11 on the Wisconsin Union Terrace. Definitely added to the entertainment factor of BMX boys grinding on the railings and the multiple wedding party photoshoots.
   
10. Gray's Oatmeal Stout (Janesville) - "Chewy" and smooth, as all good oatmeal stouts should be.
    
11. Sean's ESB (Home-brew) - Big thanks to Sean for his hospitality and sharing a pre-show brew with us.
    
12. Pabst Blue Ribbon (Milwaukee) - I'm sorry, but 16 oz cans do NOT qualify as tall boys.
