Anything that comes from Stevens Point.

Tour Lakefront Brewery. Very entertaining, good beer (4 are included) & a free glass. Sprecher is another option as well. Milwaukee Ale House is a great spot for lunch (in historic 3rd ward on the river). My favorite WI beers are from Bull Falls (Wausau), O'so (south of Stevens Pt), Petosi (north of Galena) & Capital Brewery (Middleton - near Madison). Finally, if you find yourself in Madison check out "The Old Fashion". It overlooks the capital and offers about 100 WI beers.

Thanks for the info.

I will be in Milwaukee beginning at noon or so....which of those establishments are close enough to go and make it back to the city with time far a bar hop or two?

Lakefront, Sprecher and the Alehouse are in Milwuakee. It's not that big so getting from one side to the other is pretty easy. There is also a brewery boat tour which takes you to 4 that are on the river. If you've got time, The Safehouse is cool. Spy themed restaurant and bar. Need a password to get in or they make you do goofy things. Look it up first though because it's disguised as an export house.

Forget about New Glarus. Tyranena and Central Waters. You will thank me later.

If you are talking about the beer tour, I would agree... although I think New Glarus has several very good beers. Spotted Cow is almost the definition of a perfect session beer in my opinion.

If you're into ice cream, Kopps is renowned for its frozen custard, but I prefer the classic 1940s-50s drive-in setting afforded by Leon's:leonsfrozencustard.us, kopps.com.

A stone's throw from Von Trier's that TM mentioned above is the Oriental Theater/Landmark.
This part of town is considered "The Eastside". North Ave right along the lake. Anyway, the
Landmark is kind of an arcade/ pool hall / bowling alley. If you happen to be on that side of
town it may be worth checking out. The bowling alley is pretty cool. You have to keep your
score on a sheet with a pencil and the ball returns are all above ground which you don't see
too often anymore. The Oriental Theater above it is very cool, just like a page out of the 20's
or 30's. They have a lot of movie festivals held there. A lot of other bars along North Ave.
Used to be a really good pizza place there on the corner of North and Oakland called Pizza
Man but it burned down a few years back and they never rebuilt it.

Potosi

If you make it out to the little town, they've got a nice little restaurant with the brewery. I don't drink at all, but took a sip of their beer/lemonade mix. Tasted like rat piss to me. But everyone else (all who will drink from time to time) loved it.

Have made two trips to Potosi - the first time I brought back a six pack of beer. Second time was the beer/lemonade. I guess everyone liked the regular beer, too.

BTW, if you are up here on saturday aft there is a boat tour of 3 place (Milw. Ale House, Rock Bottom, and Molly Cool's). It cost $29/person and you get 2 brews per stop. It is run through riverwalkboats.com,
