I'll be back up there for Milwaukee Metal Fest in May. Last time we hit Central Waters and another place by the old Pabst factory y and both were fantastic. 

I assume you mean the CW Milwaukee tap room, but if you ever get out to the central part of the state, the main brewery is in the little town of Amherst and also worth a visit (and shoot a DM if you get anywhere near there and need more drinking partners). 

I once convinced one of my great beer-drinking and hiking friends to bike the Tomorrow River Trail out of Plover to CW in Amherst on a Sunday afternoon. Told him it was only 24 miles round-trip from the trailhead. But it was the extra 7ish miles from our neighborhood to the trailhead (so 14 out and back) that made him want to kill me. Next time we'll haul bikes to the trailhead.

Fortunately we also were able to rest-stop at a bar right on the trail on the way back and get some tap root beer. Some local ladies were kind of hitting on us and I think my buddy would have let one have him just to get a ride home.

And, no, you don't want the pics rule to apply on this one at all.

In my opinion, it's something that HJ says when he doesn't want to say anything more... ;)

We were talking at happy hour last week about how some of us are more susceptible to buying beer just because of the label, and that brand is one that makes me guilty. Picked up something from TBC about three years ago -- can't remember which -- on the way back to Wisconsin for that very reason.

The Texas FM sign is an icon and just looking at it makes me homesick. Stick it next to a Horn silhouette and I'm ready to daydrink.

I’m absolutely susceptible to buying just because of the label. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. My first purchase of Stash was because of the label, and it’s one of my favorites

In My Opinion. It’s an ongoing bit. This beer is a fine beer, imo. Basically.

Thanks. My initial thought was the traditional use, but I couldn't quite accept that conclusion -- maybe because that kind of brevity isn't my tendency.  And there's always the possibility that his workplace is wherever he wants.

As a guy who ever more frequently has a beer or cocktail to bring at least some enjoyment to grading student work, the latter explanation looked more sensible each time. Illusions shattered, but they're still good-looking beers ...

There's context and it's a longstanding inside joke at this point.  But if I told you, then I'd spoil it.  I'm sure you understand...

Oh and thanks for being a teacher.  That's tough work.  Cheers to you.  I'm headed over to Celis Brewery today and will lift a witbier in your honor.

Thanks ... I'll take that. But you're confusing me with somebody from an honorable profession. I'm just another drunk, lazy faculty member from a smaller state school, trying to decide if AI-generated work makes grading more or less bearable. 

Not sure I could take being a college student today, though. Very different job outlook than for '80s and '90s grads. Even with better students, I find myself wanting to write, "Learn a trade!" Maybe I'll move to Austin and apply to mop floors at Celis, then use my critical thinking skills to work my way up.
