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.

Was just there two weeks ago, and did some "research."
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.

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 ...
