I tried the #FizzyGlizzy – the new Johnsonville stunt sausage "inspired by" @drpepperofficial.bsky.social – but if you think a soda sausage is a fun idea, you should go ahead and try it too. Don't forget the Pop Rocks. www.milwaukeemag.com/we-tried-it-...

Literally an episode of The Daily on the latter last week
There's a modest proposal in Madison to make the yeast that makes cheese the state microbe. A modest counterproposal: How 'bout brewers yeast instead? My latest for @milwaukeemag.bsky.social: www.milwaukeemag.com/wisconsin-of...
Six years ago when he re-signed with the Bucks, I wrote this about Giannis, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. www.milwaukeemag.com/giannis-you-...
Leinie's is introducing Katie Leinenkugel, announced as the Molson Coors-owned company's president two weeks ago, to the public. She's a sixth-generation of the Chippewa Falls beer family, a cousin of previous president Tony Bugher. www.facebook.com/Leinenkugels...
Ope, *Manitowish Waters, near Mercer
Related: folks at The Shillelagh in Mercer were really excited about the Yuengling neon going up last Friday afternoon.
In the WORLD, about the Wisconsin launch, yes
Yuengling is launching in Wisconsin this week. We wrote the most comprehensive story about it back when the announcement was made. ICYMI: www.milwaukeemag.com/east-coast-f...

January is suuuper light for beer events. Trevor Easton up at Inventors Brewpub in Port Washington saw an opportunity and went for it, building a two-day event for homebrewers and big-beer fans. www.milwaukeemag.com/inventors-br...
In my favorites but usually only sent to people I have a problem with
Yup, detailed site layout submitted to the city is in the story!
I'd always wondered about that lot; seems like a great development opportunity depending on the owner. It is owned by Lakefront (or at least Russ Klisch), so that's good for him.
Interesting story here on that vacant lot next to
@lakefrontbrewery.bsky.social (separated by the Holton St. Bridge). Short version: The fence is coming down (by city order) and there are some nice amenities coming to it this year.

Some pretty inspired character naming there, Duffer Bros.
At 11 am Saturday, 3 Sheeps Brewing in Sheboygan will begin pouring free pints of Dill-ightful Derek, a pickle pilsner inspired by “Stranger Things” character “Delightful” Derek Turnbow. It's making good on a promise that if the young actor Jake Connelly commented on a post, the taps would open.
Very different flavor profile, sodas vs even NA beer
Counterpoint…
Yeah, that surprised me, too. It’s a kind of viscous silkiness that is often the missing piece that’s kind of hard to put your finger on trying to figure out why NAs are just a little off. You’re very welcome, thanks for reading!
I agree, though once I had a real one and an NA one side-by-side I moderated that position. (It's still good tho.) My core take of NA beers is that alcohol matters so much for flavor and body. You have to replace that with something, which I think is why the Solid State sour shows so well. Body.
If you were going to make an N/A beer, how would you do it? The guys at Eagle Park have been thinking about that question for a while, and spent more than a year developing this new line of beers using ingredients and technique, not tech. My latest: www.milwaukeemag.com/eagle-park-h...
Who knew that drinking together = vulnerability?
Folks, is this the year we all start drinking again? h/t Dale, sorry bud I forget your handle on here. www.gq.com/story/why-my...
If they do, it sure ain’t today. Beers/drinks are flowing generally tho. This is Wisconsin.
Not much hits quite like the first-beer-at-the-waterpark-with-the-nieces beer.
When you see an ESB on tap, order an ESB if you want to see another ESB on tap.
Shook by these cards. I assumed the decks were the same-ish all o sr the world but there are 4 letters and numbers in that hand alien to me
