It was a pretty good time, and I think we'll be doing another one in 2006. In case any of you care, here's my ranking of the places we went from best to worst: 1. Sprecher Brewery in Glendale, WI 2. Capital Brewery in Middleton, WI 3. Olde Main Brewing Company in Ames, IA 4. Court Avenue Brewing Company in Des Moines, IA 5. New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, WI (note: you only get 3 samples of their choice) 6. Bandana Brewery in Mankato, MN 7. Great Waters Brewing Company in St. Paul, MN 8. Bent River Brewing Company in Moline, IL 9. Angelic Brewery in Madison, WI 10. Moosejaw Pizza and Brewery in Wisconsin Dells, WI 11. Miller Brewery in Milwaukee, WI 12. Randy's Fun Hunters Brewery in Whitewater, WI Every place was good, so I feel bad ranking the others towards the bottom, but someone has to be last.

I'll let you know. I'll probably be planning it out soon, although I can't make an actually schedule for it until I know what the NFL schedule is next year.

I was on Beer Trip w/ Dansting, and I'm a newbie to this whole microbrew lifestyle and I'm lovin' it! Highly recommend a similar trip to anyone. Hoping to earn ranking quickly on this site!

Well there is nothing like jumping in with both feet! That was one hell of a way to get an introduction to your new way of life. Wait until your first brewfest it will be awesome. Cheers
