On Tap

As winter marches on, so does the release of new seasonal beers by our state's fine brewers.

Sprecher Brewery, just outside of Milwaukee, has two new brews this month: an Irish Stout and a Maibock.



Also from Milwaukee comes Big Easy, a blonde dopplebock from Lakefront Brewery.



Up in Stevens Point at the Point Brewery, they have introduced their Spring Bock.



Way up north in Dallas, WI is the Viking Brewing Company. This month they have J.S. Bock, a German Helles Bock.



A bit closer to home from the Capital Brewery comes their Maibock. And please note that on the 25th, the annual Bockfest will be held at the brewery. It's a celebration of the release of the brewery's Blonde Doppelbock. So go drink good beer and catch fish thrown from the roof of the brewery!

I also want to note that, thanks to The Dulcinea, I have tasted one of the two new brews from New Glarus Brewing, Road Slush Oatmeal Stout. Lemme tell ya, it's might tasty! Very smooth and it just covers your palate with it's smooth oatmealy goodness. Their other new beer is Yokel, a blonde ale. I shall seek it out anon. In order to bring back their Coffee Stout, Dan, the brewmaster, is halting production of Edel Pils and Native Ale. In October, Dan will unleash Enigma...
