Picked up three different 4 packs of Pueblo Vida. Phenomenal beer and can see why it's known as the best in AZ.

Projekt Brewing out of Eau Claire has some great beer. I had their milkshake IPA and was blown away.

Papikuk was really solid from them as well.

Where have you found it around the area? The one spot I found in Lake Geneva is having trouble stocking.

I found it at Discount earlier this summer. I think Ray's gets it in every now and then as well.

They're interesting... I like some of their stuff... but some of their IPAs are just acid.  People go nuts for some of them, but they are terrible at balance.

I think their motto is, "Throw expensive hops at it, and lower the PH"!

I can see that, but I like it.

How new is new?

Taprooms I've enjoyed visiting- Third Space, Eagle Park, 1840 Brewing. Gathering Place in Riverwest was started by an alum, though I haven't been in there yet.

All spots I haven't been to. Basically anything new since 2014 that isn't Mobcraft or Goodcity is new to me!

Agree with these all. Gathering Place, great people but not great beer. I'd put Hacienda on the list.

Forgot about that place.  Couple of physicians run it.  Did you have any food?

I didn't. Standard brewery food, "artisan" pizzas, giant pretzels, wings etc.

Yeah there was nothing I disliked but nothing I'd tell everyone to get. Considering it's in Waukesha it's better than having another granite city or rock bottom! Lol

Been doing various Noon Whistle Gummy's for ages but decided to go with the guava sour recently and it was life changing. Went back today and left with two growlers and two four packs of their sours. (Plus a couple gummy's)

Phantom Bride IPA by Belching Beaver Brewery is my favorite IPA these days.  It's a good beer in my opinion and I like the Brewery name too :)

The Deftones IPA? I figured it was a gimmick and crappy. Being a fan, I should get some already.

How’s it going there lately? I’ve never been, but love their stuff. I have the time to run down there lately, if I can escape the family.

There was a pretty steady line of about 6 cars pulling up and leaving with curbside orders. So seems like they'll weather the storm. If you make it down there get the lemon blueberry sour, brewery only and it's delicious.
