Brew City here I come!

Post by Ibasterd »

Making a quick trip to Milwaukee (my Homeland) in a week for my niece's graduation. While I'm there, I plan on visiting a brewery or two. Planning on Lakefront Brewery (http://www.lakefrontbrewery.com/tour), and hopefully Sprecher (https://www.sprecherbrewery.com). I've done the Miller tour before several times and it's actually quite fun. I'll post pics later.

Cheers!

I'm still wondering about the bung holes! :jumpy:
I love brewery tours. Big, small, whatever, they all smell of the same goodness.

And, I'm jealous that it's still cool enough to wear a jacket. Its 88 here today.
