🇺🇸 More Milwaukee brews! I spent 8 days in Milwaukee (two of which were spent in Indiana to be exact), and I tried to taste as many brews as I could. It’s a true challenge in Brew City. Let me tell you. There is just so much! I stopped by @waterstreetbrewery for lunch and got myself a small flight for good measure. From left to right: 1. Belgian Rose Wheat Ale 2. Victory Amber 3. Punch You In The Eye PA 4. Raspberry Weiss. Good stuff! Really liked their IPA though. I found that there are far fewer IPA options in that part of the country, but it was delish every time I had one! . . . . . . . . . #waterstreetbrewery #milwaukee #milwaukeewi #wisconsin #wisconsinbeer #craftbeergirls #craftbeeronly #craftnotcrap #beersofinstagram #midwestbeer #beerflight #beersampler #beertaster #beertasting #raspberrybeer #wheatale #amberale #hopheads #hoplover #downtownmilwaukee #beerus #beeroclock #beerthirty #beercraft #craftbeernation #craftbeerphoto #brewpub #craftbeeradventures #craftbeerblog
🇺🇸All you craft beer peeps are gonna kill me (and I am included in that), but I had to. @pabstblueribbon and @millercoors are kind of a thing when you visit Milwaukee... and for the sake of research, I took a tour of both. @pabstblueribbon is not exactly in Milwaukee anymore, but they make smaller batches with more interesting things at this location located in the old brewery by the name of @pabstbrewery. They have a pretty cool taproom. Fun fact: PBR is single handedly brewed by Miller -not Pabst. I got myself a small flight of their more crafty stuff (and a PBR). From left to right: 1. Mango Sour 🥭 2. Captain’s IPA (an ode to Captain Pabst and a brew that will be mass produced by... Miller? Maybe?) 3. Pabst Blue Ribbon 4. Nitro Mojito Coffee made with @pilcrowcoffee (non-alcoholic and a welcome break in Brew City!) . . . . . . . . . . . #pabstblueribbon #pabst #pbr #nitrobeer #mangosour #bigbeer #macrobrew #macrobrewery #milwaukee #milwaukeewi #americanipa #lager #brewcity #beertasting #brewerytour #captainpabst #bigbrew #giantbeer #midwestbeer #beersofinstagram #notcraft #craftnotcrap #beerquest #beersampler #milwaukeebeer #wisconsinbeer #hopheads #beerus #pabstbrewery
🇺🇸You’ve been warned. More awesome brews from Milwaukee are coming your way! I got to pay a visit to @mobcraftbeer and carefully select an awesome little flight. From left to right: 1. Batshit Crazy Brown Ale 2. Thai’d Up Gose 3. Post Tree Stand Juice Box IPA 4. Existence Raspberry Sour Yup! That’s all folks... but boy was it delicious! I had tried a brew of theirs I ordered on @Tavour and couldn’t wait to try more. Done! And super happy I did! . . . . . . . . . #mobcraftbrewing #craftnotcrap #sourale #brownale #americanipa #drinkcraftnotcrapbeer #gose #gosebeer #raspberrybeer #limebeer #milwaukee #milwaukeebeer #milwaukeewi #milwaukeecraftbeer #wisconsin #wisconsincraftbeer #wisconsinbeer #beerflight #craftbeeronly #craftbeerflight #craftbeergirls #craftbreweries #beerus #beercraft #hopheads #beersofinstagram #beerstagram🍻 #cheers #wicraftbeer
🇺🇸 OMG you guys! This flight was absolutely delish. I got to stop by @wildrose_brewing in Indiana last Saturday and try and try a few of of their most excellent brews. What a place! And what a great selection! I even got to try one of their secret menu item, a mix of Big Sexy and Juicy Bear they call Sexy Juice or Sexy Bear depending one who you ask. The main course? 1. Juicy Bear NEIPA 2. Mad Cow Milk Stout 3. Hopside Of The Moon Black IPA 4. Region Razz Rasberry Berliner Weisse 5. Big Sexy Pale Ale (their flagship brew). . . . . . . . #beerflight #indianacraftbeer #craftbeergirls #craftbeersofinstagram #beersofinstagram #midwestbeer #wildrosebrewing #secretmenu #secretmenuitem #craftnotcrap #drinkindianabeer #beerbrigade #craftbeeronly #beertaster #4oz #beertourism #craftbeertourist #brewcation #craftbrewcation #cheers #indybeer #independentcraftbeer #beertour #craftbeertour #indianabrew #brewerytour #beervacation
🇺🇸The Midwest has been treating me well, but it’s time to say goodbye (for now). I’m flying ✈️ back to CA this evening. Expect a ton of posts from Milwaukee and Indiana in the coming days! I had two of @zornbrewworks brews this past Friday in Michigan City, IN: 1. Boozeberry Lactose IPA 2. Red Devil Red IPA. Pretty yummy! . . . . . . . . . #michigancity #craftbeersofinstagram #indianacraftbeer #indiana #zornbrewworks #craftnotcrap #redipa #lactoseipa #milkshakeipa #midwestcraftbeer #brewpub #beertasting #beerus #craftbeergirls #beercation #brewcation #beertourism #beertourist #craftbeercation #craftbeertourist #brew #craftbreweries #craftbrewing #drinkcraftnotcrap #beeradventures #breweryhopping #cheers #craftbrews
🇺🇸 The Midwest will never cease to amaze me. I just got back from visiting @burnembrewing in Michigan City. A real gem. Small and full of locals. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the beer. I couldn’t settle on having just one so I got a flight. From left to right: 1. Kreamed Corn Cream Ale🌽 2. Dr. Juiciest Erving NEIPA 3. Night Moos Nitro Milk Stout 4. Gurke Getrunken. . . . . . . . . . #beerflight #beerflights #lager #nitrostout #nitromilkstouts #milkstout #creamale #burnembrewing #michigancity #incraftbeer #indianacraftbeer #craftnotcrap #craftbeergirls #craftbeeronly #beerus #beerlifestyle #beervacation #beertourism #beertourist #craftbeerindiana #michigancityindiana #craftbreweries #craftbrewing #midwestcraftbeer #cheers #cheers🍻 #beerlife🍺
