Northern WI hard to find elsewhere beer thread

Where am I going to get some local stuff on my way up 53 and 40 to courdray?
Heading up thursday.
Thanks in advance.

 

Eau Claire is probably your best bet. Lazy Monk Brewery is an ok option. For bottle shops Coffee Grounds and Woodmans are your best bets. Just know Woodmans is cash/debit only.

 

A bit off the topic, but I've been in to Coffee Grounds twice in the past few months. Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with their selection now. They just recently put in the new brewery, K Point Brewing, and it seems like ever since that project started, the selection has almost gone down to half of what it was. Not sure if it will go back to what it was eventually, but it was pretty disappointing. They still have some decent stuff, but it only took about 10 minutes to walk through now, where in the past I could waste a good half hour walking around checking things out. In all honesty, I miss the old location.

 

I do have a question I hope someone hear can answer: how far west does Stone Arch distribute? I'd like to get more, but driving to eastern Wisconsin from my central, MN home is a long haul.

 

Coffee Grounds is a nice tip. Thanks. Boat beer is cold and wet but it's nice to have a better option for the cabin or the fire when we get back. Grabbed some Founders Breakfast, New Glarus Oud Bruin, Lazy Monk, and Stillman's. Looking forward to those. Next trip I'll probably hit Woodman's.
Thanks again.

 

I'll be in the Eagle River area in a few weeks. Tribute brews some pretty solid beers. Their Blueberry Train is a great summer beer.

Will be doing some hunting in the UP as well for Michigan-only beers.

 

Is that the Double Dry Hopped Pseudo Sue?

 

Was at Tribute on Saturday. Had their Belgian Tripel, Chocolate Porter and Summerwind IPA - all were very good. Place was standing room only too!!

 

I know this is a NORTHERN WI thread but any advice for hitting a bottle shop or two in Southern WI? I'll be in Germantown/Milwaukee next week for a few days and would love to run down some IA/MN/WI/MI beers.

Obviously the DDH Sue is gone but anywhere to run down some regular Sue or any other Great Lakes beers?

 

There's a Woodman's near Germantown in Menomonee Falls. They have an awesome beer selection. Cash/Check/Debit only.

 

Blueberry Train in one liter plastic bottles for the win!

 

Does anyone know if there are any bottle shops worth hitting along the US-41 corridor? Not looking for breweries but just shops as we don't want to lose alot of driving time over beer hunting. Passing through Green Bay, Crivitz, and Iron Mountain on the way to the UP in a couple weeks (then it's glasses of Blackrocks all week!).

 

Was there last week and had great luck in De Pere just off Main St. at Festival Foods and close by at the Wine Cellar.
Then head north 4mi to Ridgeview Liquor at the new location: 2202 S Ridge Rd, Green Bay. Heading north on 41 there is a Woodmans and another Festival north of that. Good luck!
