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 :)

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?
