The Chancery

New Glarus Back 40 Bock Beer

Your Daddy's Schlitz

My Little Guy kicking my butt in video bowling

There is a family that puts my little guy up whenever he flies to Milwaukee with out us so in appreciation we took them out to dinner to a place called the Chancery in Wauwatosa, WI. The place was kind of cool with two bars, one in the restaurant and the other one thru a door from the restaurant along with a door to the street. They had a decent beer selection, nothing killer but they had some New Belgian, a New Glarus, Miller, of course. They also had Schlitz.

Schlitz is an old time beer that thru the decades went from being decent, long before i was born, to a crappy yellow fizzy beer. Last year they resurrected the original recipe and decided to brew it. I think it is only in Wisconsin right now so i figured sine i am Wisconsin i might as well give it a whirl. It is now decent yellow fizzy shit, alright to try but i don't think i will try it again.

food was decent and inexpensive, no complaints there, the conversation and company was nice too. It is a little out of our way but if i had to go back i would with a smile on my face.

Central Waters Satin Solstice

New Glarus Smoked Rye Ale

Bought a few beers to sip at the hotel.

Central Waters Brewing from Amherst, WI is a very smooth and drinkable 7.5% imperial stout.

New Glarus Smoked Rye Ale from New Glarus, WI, part of their Unplugged series, it is a rye ale with smoked malt. Not overly smoked, no bacon, but it is pretty drinkable. i am not a fan of overly smoked beers but this ne was pretty good. I probably could drink more than one in a sitting but it was very enjoyable

My Milwaukee Ride

Bells Two Hearted

Bells Two Hearted Ale, a 7% india pale ale from Bells Brewing, Comstock, MI.

One of my favorite beers, i can only get it in Wisconsin and Michigan

Bacon Patty

Only in Milwaukee does your bacon come in a patty

hotel beer

Franks Wild Rye'd India pale Ale

Zonker Stout

picked up a few bottles of beer's to try.

The first one i tried was the Franks Wild Rye'd India Pale Ale from Sand Creek Brewing, Black River Falls, WI. A copper colored beer that pours with a nice white head, malty and hoppy aroma, citrus, cinnamon aroma, malty taste with the spiciness of rye. I see wild on the label i am expecting Bret, Lacto, crazy sourness which this has none. MAybe wild means a rye IPA. It was pretty good and i would probably drink this again if offered.

Zonker Stout from Snake River Brewing, Jackson Hole, WY.  a 6% stout, very black, nice roasty, barley aroma, a litlle chocolate, a little coffee. a very nice drinkable beer

Culver's

Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich

Closing for the Super Bowl. Lets go Packers

As you know, i hate fast food but when we go to Milwaukee, we hit up Culver's for butter burgers a couple of times during each skating meet. I will probably be eating a ton of hamburgers this weekend so i decided to try something else so i got the Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich hold the cheese.
It wasn't that good so if you ever find yourself in a Culvers, take this advice: STICK WITH THE BURGERS.

Look at the second picture, the Culver's are shutting down on Super Bowl sunday at 5pm so everybody can go watch the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. You got to love the MidWest. Can you imagine the NY McDonalds closing on Super bowl sunday next year when the Giants are playing, NOT.
