Well if any of you guys ever get over here to La Crosse(especially you Stu) I would be more than willing to take you over to our local brew pub, The Pearl Street Brewery(PSB for short). They have a really good selection of stuff that is unique and a few beers that are considered "staples" by the locals. Downtown Brown Brown Ale is one of their old standby's and they have a ton of seasonal stuff as well. Smokin' Hemp Porter(released on 4/20 every year ), AppleFest Appleweizen is released just before AppleFest in LaCrescent, MN, Lederhosen Lager Fest Bier is released for the La Crosse Oktoberfest celebration, and one of my favs, Evil Doppleganger Dopplebock is available in May each year. They have some really hoppy stuff for you guys who are into that as well. Figured I might as well throw the link in here....... pearlstreetbrewery.com/This sounds like an invitation to a land tour to me!

Stouts are one type of brew I can do without. Porters aren't my cup of tea either.
Sprecher makes a Black Bavarian lager...now that I can enjoy.

Spotted Cow and Yuengling are both great as well. In Ohio for daughters dance competition. Had to stock up Blows my mind how some people can't get yuengling. I always thought it was as common as coors or budweiser.

We did a "red lager" taste test a few years ago. Schell's Firebrick won...it's some tasty stuff. Chimney Sweep isn't my kinda brew though.

^ Might be a good way to have a "deer habitat"t gathering. Everyone bring a 12'er and have a taste test. Winner takes all ......or some such thing. I gotta beleive that Spotted Cow or Kilt Lifter would take the money home.

It's is brewed in PA and I first learned of it in college. My buddy was from Pittsburgh and he would bring back several cases every time he went home. It became available in Ohio about 5 years ago. You could get it in TN well before Ohio. You still can't get it in Kentucky. I don't know why they market that way. It's my favorite lite beer.

So it was a shock to me when I learned it was just a regional beer.

Not a bad deal, for $8 you get a tour of the brewery, which is now housed in the old La Crosse Boot Factory for those that remember the quality of their products before they sent the jobs to China, a BOGO voucher for a PSB beer at any local La Crosse establishment that sells PSB products, free pint of your choice in the Tasting Room and you get to keep the PSB pint glass your beer came in. Later today I will post some pics of what I was drinking last evening! I love the "Pick your own 6" at Festival Foods!

So Firebrick is a red lager.........damn, I thought about throwing one of those in the Pick 6 last night, but threw in a Dos Equis instead. Next time!

Kinda surprised none of the Minnesotans have mentioned Surly products. Most of what I've tried are hoppy because I love those brews
Todd the Axe Man Furious Abrasive (drink this shit at home...around 10% abv I think) Hell - a lot "tamer" lager
Another 'sota brewing company - Big Wood Brewery
Bad Axe (I love this stuff - also a drink at home brew - around 10% abv) Jack Pine Savage (they brewed this shit just for Art) Bark Bite Wicked Ex
