My Favorite Milwaukee Shelf Beer

Most of us reading this are uber beer geeks who like to land big whales and generally have tried everything our local bottle shop has on the shelf… and in the back… and in the bottle shop owners cellar.

Food & Froth 2015: Beer and Priceless Artifacts (nothing could go wrong…)

This Saturday, February 21st, 2015, is the 17th annual Food & Froth Beer Festival. It’s hosted at the Milwaukee Public Museum and showcases dozens of breweries from all across the nation, a few from across the pond, tons of great food, live entertainment, and millions of dollars worth of ancient artifacts. Nothing could go wrong… Well, seeing as it’s the 17th annual and there haven’t been any horror stories, they must keep the good stuff locked away. Continue reading
