lakefront brewery

after brunch at the comet cafe, we took a walk over to lakefront brewery which took about 20 minutes.
sign by their bottling station
everyday they have tours for $7, which includes:
  • 4 6oz pours (aka 2 full beers)*
  • a very entertaining tour
  • a pint glass
  • a coupon for ANOTHER beer from a list of restaurants**
*only used 3/4 tokens because i'm a loser
**didn't use because reason of above :(  

this was our second time visiting/doing the tour. and i would totally go back again. in addition to having delish beers (their organic ESB is drewsy's all time fave), it's a great place to hang out and daydrink at.  they have a huge room w tons of windows and it's located on the river. also  - reddit/yelp/the bloggies say that their fish fries on fridays are pretty great. sadly our hotel was for sat-monday and we missed out this time :( 

hanging out in their hall while waiting for our tour
beers we tasted on this visit: 
  1. fixed gear, red ale
  2. fuel cafe, organic coffee stout
  3. rendezvous, biere de garde
  4. riverwest stein, amber lager
  5. local acre 100% wisconsin grown, imperial pilsner
  6. *unnamed*, IPA (which they're not sure they're going to bottle)

IDK WHO THIS PERSON IS
even though we had done the tour before, it was still a total blast. the tour guide was super entertaining and even referenced falcon punch. waayyy worth the $7. i'm down for going back -- esp on a friday to check out their fish fry. (maybe summerfest weekend? eh? eh??)
