New Beer Releases from New Glarus and Third Space Brewing

New Glarus and Third Space breweries have each announced two new releases for the year`s end, with a couple of winter seasonals from New Glarus already in the stores, and Third Space getting ready to launch a new year-round beer plus a new rotating beer series on New Year`s Eve.

New Glarus`s seasonals are Cabin Fever Honey Bock, made with "sweet clover honey", which is a light, sweet lager that they`re calling a "Wisconsin bock," and Road Slush Stout, a very dark but also very smooth stout made with malted oats and Chocolate and Victory malts from Manitowoc.

Third Space Brewing in Milwaukee is launching a new lager series as well as a new wheat ale at their New Year`s Eve Pre-Party on Saturday from 4:00 to 6:00....

`Food fit for a brewery`: Chef brings carefully crafted dishes to Pilot Project restaurant
Tony Quartaro started cooking at a young age. His grandmother’s Sunday sauce set the bar for him. It was never exactly the same ingredients, yet always delicious.

Make food with love and intention, use what you have, and make it delicious. He’s been striving for those goals since learning to make her vodka sauce as a pre-teen.

Cooking carried him around the country. The son of a college football coach, home was wherever his family was at the time. Cooking became his connecting thread. 

Today, the husband and father of three has run a number of restaurant kitchens in Chicago. His latest venture brings together his Gemma Foods (named after his daughter) in partnership with Pilot Project Brewing, a launchpad for start-up breweries and their various styles of beer. Pilot Project’s Milwaukee tasting room, 1128 N. Ninth St., opened in November. The space previously housed the former Milwaukee Brewing Company....

People Will Drive From All Over Wisconsin To The Leinie Lodge For The Nostalgia Alone
Over the last 155 years, Leinenkugel’s Beer has left a big mark on Wisconsin. It’s a western Wisconsin favorite and it has been enjoyed by generations of beer lovers – while it’s available nationwide, you’ll also find it on tap in scores of Wisconsin taverns, with a canoe paddle sign hanging somewhere near the bar. The beer has been in the background of many people’s lives and every year, scores of Leinies lovers make a pilgrimage to the Leinie Lodge to see where it all began. Here’s what you need to know about the Leinie Lodge, one of the best Wisconsin beer attractions...

Ken Notes: I have made the trek, I suggest the brewery tour over the Lodge "experience" -- which is pretty touristy and pricey... Even the staff suggest a visit to the nearby local liquor store if you want a case of any of the Leinenkugel brews.

Worst Hangover Ever? 5 Tips To Survive Partying Into 2023
With the New Year just days away, you don`t want to start it off on the wrong foot. You don`t want to hold your head and curse your parents for giving you life so many years ago or on your knees bent over a toilet regretting the night before. That is usually accompanied by regretting every decision you`ve made, bringing you to this moment. You promise to be better and to also invest in thicker blinds that can block the sun from causing more damage to your head. In other words, you want to avoid starting the New Year with a hangover! If one does come, hopefully, these tips can help you get through it so you can go about and kick 2023`s butt!

  • Be Sure To Hydrate!

  • Hair Of The Dog

  • Toast, crackers, Juice

  • Coffee or Tea

  • Ibuprofen

Ken Notes: My recommendation, drink less, drink quality, drink local craft product. Avoid contact with anyone with a Bud or Bush Light in their hand or those "doing shots" of anything sweet...

Foghorn’s Andrew Estabrooks Nabs National ‘Brewer Of The Year’ Award
When Andrew Estabrooks of Foghorn Brewing first got wind that he was up for the brewer of the year at the Brewer’s Journal Canadian Brewer’s Choice Awards in early December, it was a welcome surprise.

“It happened fast,” Estabrooks says. “I just got an email sort of hinting ‘we strongly recommend that you come to the workshop.’ It was the first time I’d heard about it. [I only had] two weeks to get tickets and get there.”

Two weeks later, ‘Esty’ as he’s known, was at the awards ceremony in Toronto’s Old Flame Brewing Company in the Distillery Historic District, receiving an award for his outstanding achievement on the Canadian brewing scene...

...Around 2013, he decided to take it to the next level,  getting a formal education in brewing in Madison, Wisconsin...

Draft Queen: My favorite beers of 2022
t is hard to believe another year has come and gone since I am convinced 2019 was yesterday, but alas, here we are, about to usher in 2023. And what a year 2022 was, right? Unlike the national trend in pandemic-induced brewery closures, Wisconsin saw very little. And for the first time since 2019, the Great Taste of the Midwest went off without a hitch back at full capacity.

The Atwood neighborhood in Madison saw a brand-new, thoughtfully curated beer bar and coffee shop open up, Forward Craft and Coffee, and the Bay View neighborhood in Milwaukee got a new tasting room when Super Moon Beer Co. opened up just a few months ago.

For me personally, this year was jam-packed with highs...

Farmhouse ale; Super Moon Beer Co., Milwaukee

I think Super Moon opening their small tasting room in the heart of the super-trendy Bay View neighborhood in Milwaukee is the most rad and best thing to happen to the Wisconsin beer scene this year...

Third Space Brewing Like a Girl American IPA; Milwaukee

A delicious hoppy beer designed and brewed in solidarity by women and nonbinary professionals in the Wisconsin craft beer industry to support the momentum in highlighting nontraditional beer makers...

Working Draft Beer Co. Le Pils French-inspired Pilsner; Madison

Always a sucker for a good hop-forward lager, and Working Draft does so well with them. French and Italian-style pilsners have been a fun trend to see and I hope it continues into 2023...
