Wisconsin

With the time off, a friend of mine suggested we take a short trip to Wisconsin during the day in order to grab some New Glarus beer.  Seeing as I thought it would be rude to decline such an invitation (as well as being a little too excited to have some New Glarus), I politely agreed to accompany him.  He may contest the "polite" part.

We didn't go to far past the border as we are both lazy and we needed to keep it a day trip.  Upon research, we stopped in Kenosha first at a bar called Captain Mike's Beer and Burger Bar.  We knew they had some New Glarus on tap and we figured why not get some while we were having food.  The menu was pretty limited to burgers, but tons of different choices.  The burgers had the option of Organic grass fed burger or kobe beef, yeaaaaaaah environment.  After that you choose everything you want on the burger, but I will let you leaf through the menu if you want to see all the combinations.  They also suggest throwing a slab of peanut butter on any burger that has bacon on it.  I thought what the hell, you only live once, and through a slab on mine.  Delicious.  Lastly, I went with New Glarus's Apple Ale, which I will update on later, but it is slightly like a sour apple jolly rancher.

After the food, we went to the closest liquor store to grab some New Glarus.  We both had to try and contain ourselves and try not to buy one of everything.  Since we were not allowed to mix and match, we thought it best to buy a couple six packs each and then swap three of each six pack with another so we got to try as much as possible.  The final decision were: Apple Ale, Back Forty Bock, Fat Squirrel, Moon Man, Road Slush Stout, and Wisconsin Belgian Red.  It really didn't come out as bad as it sounds since we shared with each other, but plenty of beer nonetheless.  Hopefully will be making the trip in the future again.

Well, it is now back to school and work.  It seems as if I should stop imitating the maturity of a five year old and grow up a bit for the sake of my schooling.                                                                         Life is a drag.
