March 31st:

All About Beer magazine's latest issue has an article on the 125 Places to have a Beer before you die.  Unfortunately, there is not a spot from Wisconsin although there are a couple mentioned from our neighbors to the south.  I know I could come with a list of all the great and/or interesting spots to have a beer but I would like some thoughts from you.

Email me your list of your favorite spots to have a beer and I will compile a list for a future post.

With the snow finally melting, we could officially begin to think like spring.  Here are some great beers for the warmer days ahead:

Leinenkugel Summer Shandy

Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale

Sam Adams White Ale

Capital Maibock

Point Brewery's Einbock

Bells Oberon Ale

or a great year round beer from Mexico:Modelo Especial. 

Please send me your ideas on your best places to have a beer.  Until then "Cheers"

Choice number one. Any country side brewpub in England while touring the country on a rented Triumph motorcycle.

Choice number two. Any monastary in Belgium with a few Monks who have the patience to properly age their ale and are willing to impart their wisdom over several steins of said beverage.

Choice number three. In a Bavarian castle while on a loosely guided motorcycle tour featuring the BMW of your choice. Any regional brew will do.

Choice number four and the one with more reality than the first three, in my living room with the Lazy Boy kicked out while chasing down saltines and sharp cheddar.

10 Best Places in Wisconsin to have a beer (in no particular order):

1. Lakefront Brewery Tour, Milwaukee - What is better than a tour that starts at the tap and allows you to sip their awesome beers as you learn about the brewery and brewing process?

2. Puempel's Olde Tavern, New Glarus -   A great place to have one of New Glarus' finest brews after a day of wandering around town.

3. Minocqua Brewing Company, Minocqua - Sipping a Wild Rice Lager in a smoke free bar in  the northwoods is a great experience.

4. Miller Park Parking lot - Beer and tailgating go hand in hand.

5. Milwaukee Ale House patio - My favorite summer activity is sipping some of their awesome brews while hanging out near the Milwaukee River.

6. Essen Haus, Madison - Order up a boot of German Beer for your table!

7. Great Dane Brewing Co. Patio, Madison - One of the best outdoor patios ever.

8. Baumgartner's, Monroe WI - Though I haven't been there many people have told me they love this place not just because of the Limburger Cheese but because it is a great place to enjoy a beer, even more so if you are ordering a Huber.

9. Weissgerber's Old German Beer Hall, Milwaukee - Yeah there are a lot of frat-boy types in here but its fun the beer is awesome.

10. Anchor Bar, Superior - Its cold up there.  Warm up in the Anchor Bar where you can get a huge (and delicious) cheeseburger for 2.50 and fries for another buck.  The beer is cold and as cheap as the food.

John Harbor's in the Falls offers a great selection of specialty beers. They have a good selection of Irish drinks as well. If you like beer but not crazy about bar scene this is great family oriented place: smoke free environment and occasionally live music. Check them out http://www.johnharbors.com/
