2019 The Wisconsin Brewing Company
#13-19
I don't usually write about the art of brewing, but the world of beer is rapidly changing, and is worthy of notice. I recently met Kirby Nelson, who is the Brew-master at The Wisconsin Brewing Company, and also a high school friend of a friend of mine, whom I have known for thirty five years. It also turns out that Kirby is an avid fisherman, as am I. He gave us five different brews to taste recently, which we shared with some other friends, one of which is the owner of The Blue Dog Bar and Grill, which may be the best seafood restaurant in SW Florida.
We had a good time tasting the beer with cheese, crackers, and other assorted snacks, and found that all of the brews were superb! Our favorite was the S'wheat Caroline an American Wheat Ale which was delicious! We also liked "Dark Something", a barrel aged Imperial Stout. Even the Chardonnay Queen enjoyed our "Night of Brews".
The alcohol content varies between 5% and 11.8% for the different brews, and Norm's score is "Good Brew!" I am not sure which markets the Wisconsin Brewing Company's beers are available in, but if you find some at your local retailer, or restaurant, give it a try.
score: Good Brew
price: $8 - $15
