    Headed to Milwaukee tomorrow. Anyone know of any good craft stores that carry a fair amount of NG fruit beers? Or other awesome WI beers that don't get discussed much

    NG stuff should be widely available. It's been a few years, but back when I was in MKE regularly, I'd always visit Discount Liquor:

    All bottle shops, and most liquor stores and grocery stores will have the 4 NG fruit beers. The holiday gift set is also around (saw it at Discount and Woodmans), it contains 2 fruit 750's and 2 NG flute glasses.

    Others to look for are Black Husky (especially Pale Ale, Sproose, Sparkly Eyes, Twelve Dog). CW BBS is on shelves and is incredible. Toppling Goliath can be found at Discount and Three Cellars, not sure the inventory at the moment though.

    Woodmans will have the best prices on all the NG bottles. Not sure if they'll have Cran-bic, but if you see it, get it.
    As the others have said, Discount is the best shop in MKE for variety. As of Friday, they still had Pseudo Sue.

    I second the Black Husky nomination. If you like smoked beers, their Smoke Monster is one of my all time favorites.

    Lake Louie Louie's Reserve Scotch Ale is excellent.

    NG Scream from the 29x4 batch is well worth picking up too.

    When coming through Kenosha, head off the beaten path a little bit and hit Tenuta's they carry Black Husky, you cannot go wrong for a $6.00 bottle of their Pal Ale (excellent) I know Tenuta's also has Sparkly Eye's, Smoke Monster, and Twelve Dog. Then again if you don't have time just hit Woodmans on Highway 50 but I do not believe they carry Black Husky. If you are looking for some Bourbon County I heard as recent as Tuesday Mars Cheese Castle has some, they are charging around $40 for a 4 pack though.

    As far as the New Glarus Fruit beers, Woodmans has a mountain of New Glarus.

    I highly recommend you search out the Black Husky beers metnioned or Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout, excellent beers.
