One really neat building (on route) is the old mineral point brewery which is located just up the street from Brewery Creek. Not that the B&B isn't interesting - it is a great brewery but that old building is soon to be the oldest standing building in Wisconsin that housed a brewery. Current residents kiln pottery but were kind enough to take me on a interesting tour of their facility. It includes deep limestone caverns, 3 natural springs, and enough rooms to make your head spin. Another interesting thing about Mineral point is their water. It isn't chlorinated. Seems if there is no contamination, they don't need to add chlorine. Try a glass. I sure would like a direct line to their well! So let me know a little more about the bus trip. Unfortunately Dawn would not attend - remember she doesn't like beer. Rick Agreed. So Chris, you're in for the bus trip then? So far... Al Boyce (and Beth Williams?) Mike (and Sue?)

Especially if we were to get a bus.

We may have to make a stop in New Glarus and perhaps Mineral Point (Jeff Donahue's Brewery Creek brewpub/brewery/bread&breakfast). allan.boyce(a)usbank.com writes: (that -- Steve Piatz piatz(a)cray.com Cray Inc. 651-605-9049 1340 Mendota Heights Road Mendota Heights, MN 55120 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
