Brew City here I come!

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!

Our tour guide explaining all about bung holes. He had a few too many samples.

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.

Welcome back to hell! It's gonna be 93 by the weekend :D lol. Glad to hear you had a blast in Cheesetopia, and totally jealous of the awesome weather up there. Did you bring home any consumable mementos?
