I know there is a brewery called something like
Oppenowa, it was very ppopular at the Great Taste a
couple years ago. I think it is in a suburb just
outside of Milwaukee. They had a Imperial Pale Ale
that was quite nice.
As an aside, everyone who worked there had numerous
tattoos and piercings. Apparently 2 years ago one of
the girls got into a knife fight at the Great Taste.
:>
But the beers were good and the people were actually
pretty friendly. Just don't piss them off ...

Was just there two weeks ago, and did some

First, downtown.
I didn't go to the Rock Bottom, but it has a good
reputation (and AHA
members get a discount). Water Street Brewery had
six very solid beers (the
Irish Stout was excellent, which was surprising for
a place with a heavy
German focus). Another feature of Water Street is
the incredible collection
of breweriana, most of it from the Haydock
collection.
West of town, Delafield Brewhaus has a good
selection, and usually at least
a couple are adventurous. Hop heads need to stop in
at Lake Mills (just off
I-94) and visit Tyranea. If their tasting room is
open when you are there
you need to go there. You won't be disappointed.
(Rob is using the old
Ambleside brewing equipment.)
Of course, if you're driving, a stop in Madison
gives you a choice between
Great Dane, Angelic, and J.T. Whitney's.
Anyway, most of your choices are pretty good.
Doug.

Subject: Milwaukee Brewpubs?
Hey Gang,
I just found out I have to go to Milwaukee on
business this Thursday. I will
be there overnight. Any recommendations for a
"Must See" brewpub in
Milwaukee? I have a list of options that I found
online, but I don't know
anything about them.
