Horeb or New Glarus Brewery (see below) to the southwest, and you could make quite a long weekend.Д«ut if you've got more time and a full tank of gas, there are some goldmines farther afield.

Just these pubs warrant a couple of days add a trip to Lake Louie Brewing in the woods in nearby Arena or the Grumpy Troll Brewpub in Mt. The most recent arrival is Ale Asylum where the beer is 'Brewed in Sanity.' Brewmaster Dean Coffey, who made a name for himself when he brewed at Angelic Brewpub, has a pale ale called Hopalicious, which caters to hopheads, and a few delightful Belgian ales that move up the scale on alcohol. The Great Dane Pub and Brewery and JT Whitney's Pub and Brewery have very loyal followings (for good reason), and Capital Brewery in nearby Middleton probably has bottles at your corner liquor store.

If you have to choose, Milwaukee's Lakefront Brewery arguably has the best tour (with samples before, during and after)-and on Fridays, you can stay for the fish fry complete with live polka band.Д«ut if you have time for more, take a ride on the Brew City Queen (41), a pontoon boat that on weekends from mid-May through September does three-hour cruises with three stops-Lakefront, Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery and the Milwaukee Ale House (also the temporary home to the Museum of Beer and Brewing).ДЄnother way to effortlessly hit multiple brewpubs is the Milwaukee trolley-the free ride passes close to Rock Bottom, Milwaukee Ale House and Water Street Brewery, as well as other major attractions downtown. Sprecher Brewing Co., which started brewing in 1985, is the oldest of the microbreweries in Wisconsin, and neighborhood hangout Stonefly Brewing is the newest of the brewpubs (stop in for live music and check out the tap handles, works of metal art done up by one of the bartenders). But there are also a good number of brewpubs in the area distributing most or even all of their production over the bar. Miller still turns out barrels in seven digits every year, and few are the countries around the world where you can't get your hands on some. Milwaukee, the city that beer made famous, is a good place to start. In a place like Hops Haven Brew Haus in Sheboygan, the brewmaster is also the owner, bartender, plumber and janitor. Nearly all the brewpubs will give you a tour or at least chat about their system if it is very small (and it often is), but that often depends on the availability of the brewmaster. Many of these brews you won't find even at a liquor store across the street from the producer.ДЄll the breweries except Rush River Brewery in Maiden Rock have some kind of tour and samples.

Whether you are just popping up to Milwaukee or Madison for the day, or taking a long weekend up in Chetek, Minocqua or Door County, there are beers here that any beer fan should not pass up a chance to try.

This series of trips began with a map of Wisconsin, on which I marked up the locations (Dallas, Wis.-who knew?) of various microbrewers and brewpubs, with the intention of creating a road-trip guidebook (see end for information).
