New Brew, New Brewery

Milwaukee's Big Bay Brewing has a new beer: Long Weekend IPA.





Wasn't this stuff at the Great Taste? I really like Big Bay's Kölsch and was happy to see them brew a style that's mostly shunned by Wisconsin craft brewers. So yet another IPA doesn't do much for me. However, a porter is due from them in the fall.





I recently discovered that Eau Claire has a new brewery - Lazy Monk Brewing. The owner, Leos Frank, is from the Czech Republic and he brews mostly Bohemian and German styles: pilsner, dunkel, Märzen, OctoberFest, and a Baltic Porter. It appears to be available on tap and in growlers and only in the EC area. Good excuse for a road trip.
