Visited New Glarus for the first time today...thoughts

Totally Naked!

 

Just returned from the same trip, with a drive to Mt. Rushmore in between the Dells and the breweries. As stated above, the value is great. You also get a voucher for a beer at one of the New Glarus restaurants. The grounds and beer garden in back are expansive and offer a great view. Lots of shirts, hats, etc to buy. Saw Deb and spoke to her briefly. She's very approachable. Talked to her about this past weekend release. Said the style is not really her thing because of how über-tart it is. Based on what she said, I think it jives with what a lot of brewers feel. They make these beers in small quantities, they want people to enjoy them, but they don't care who or how. I think they want locals who regularly support them to have the best chance at enjoying them.

TG is totally different. Tap room is smaller with a patio. Tap room was once a McDonalds pre-cursor. It was $6 for 4 samples, still very affordable. Growler was $19. Beers are very tasty. Got one of their chalice glasses, which is very nice.

It's about 3 hours drive between the two on larger two-lane highway. Wasn't really a bad drive. Totally worth the trip.

 

Yes, but not wasting time on it right now

Ok, just happened to notice the bookmark.

 

sounds awesome. did new glarus still have the wild sour available at the brewery? a friend is there this weekend and i'm really hoping...

 

Can't say. I didn't go into the room where they sell the bottles. I'd check the recent thread about the Blackberry Sour release. I think someone might've said something about Wild Sour availability. They didn't have it in the tasting area.

 

Are you picking a fight or just being stupid? I don't really care either way--just curious.

The source is research, not Salon. Salon simply reports it.

 

I really like this brewery and could not agree more with all of ur comments!!

 

The initial comment was for laughs. The link was in response to a request, so, no. As for "unsubstantiated study", that's an oxymoron. You just think it's "unsubstantiated" because it does not mesh with your worldview. Sorry, reality does not have to fit your worldview. Now, can we leave politics out of it and move back to beer?

 

Real talk, 2013 style.

 

Please stop feeding this OP troll and this idiotic thread. It adds nothing to the conversation about beer and just causes rages on both sides. This is such a waste of server space

 

fabulous. a link from AlterNet. shoulda figgered that one.

 

Is there an echo in here?

 

Too bad you can't edit posts older than 15 minutes...

 

Honesty is a good stepping stone.

 

You're really not sure? Maybe it's because you ended your post by conjuring an image of some bitter old white guy trying with all his might to repress his intense self loathing for enjoying New Glarus, sitting there sipping delicious beer, all the while holding back vomit with every fiber of his being so as not to ruin his favorite trade show freebie polo shirt.

 

You're like Picasso but with words.

 

'Favorite trade show freebie polo shirt' may be my new favorite phrase.
