And I thought I knew beer
In Milwaukee last week, I had a new beer - Oscar's Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. It was outstanding - made me remember how much I like the Town Hall's Oatmeal Stout. Oscar's Stour is made by the Sand Creek Brewery in Black River Falls, WI and they have several other beers that sound quite nice.
I like to think of myself as a beer connaisseur - and one who posesses much beer trivia. But to have this brewery practically in my backyard (and in the same city as one of my favorite rest stops on I-94) made me quite disappointed in myself. Their website gives scant details about distribution - they have special events from GB to Madison to Janesville to Rochester - so I'm guessing they're not in Mpls... But I emailed them to inquire and, as usual, will give you an update :)

they were at the great taste of the midwest in Madison this year. You really should go next year! Read my posts in august about it. There are sooo many dudes at this thing..all drinking good beer. Dammit being married!!!! Just kidding.... next time yer in MKE- YOU have to go to Romans or Palm Tavern- they have some kick ass beers!!! trust me on this!
I was lost in Milwaukee today for 5 hours. When I read about the Chocalate Oatmeal Stout, it sounded yummy. Could have used one then! For future ref when I'm lost (and I know I will be) where can I get one, anywhere?
Let's find this. After I gorge myself with Anchor Steam's christmas beer for a couple months.
Any info on a brewery tour?
