Oso planning to go pro
Tried the bier garten at Estabrook park this afternoon. Very pleasant. Hoffbrau Dunkel, weissbier and original, on tap, in proper 1/2 liter and full liter glass mugs. I will be back. Enough shade, and very friendly patrons.
I saw that the Sugar Maple will be named best beer bar in the country in the upcoming issue of Playboyof course I doubt that every beer bar was judged but a nice PR boost for them anyway
Mrs. Red Stripe & I stopped in at the Horny Goat Sunday afternoon. We haven't been there since the early years, last time they had brewing equipment delivered but not yet operational.Holy crap did they make some improvements outside! Really love the outdoor set-up, we got a tour from the manager who mentioned they bought the marina across the river and will keep it a marina (I suspect so no one else could build condos there and have noise complaints) they bought land to the south and have plans to build a 4 story parking ramp and a larger brewery. Point still makes their packaged beer and they aren't totally satisfied with the product so want to bring it inhouse to control the process.I suspect they do have issues with having such a small kitchen especially considering the large crowds they can handle outside.I was disapointed that several beers were not available: Double IPA, Bock and the vanilla brown ale but I did really like the 2011 barley wine.
The brewery is a great place, I will agree. The beer is just okay though.
Their beer sucks. I would rather stay sober than drink it - even if it's free. It's the worst beer I have almost ever had - I would rather drink Camo Ice. Also, the whole premise and marketing scheme is a disgrace and beyond stupid. The physical bar is nice to play vball at however they refuse to hire enough waitstaff to ever work their.

I concur. Except I've never had Camo Ice. The beer is just awful.
Heading to the Milwaukee Brewfest on Saturday... anyone been there? Any tips/things I should know?
First time in Benelux. Their menu of beer is too long.
Have you been to Centraal or Hollander? Is the menu that much different?
Anyone going to the Great Taste this weekend in the Peoples Republic?
