7. I agree, best beer and brewery out there

I jump the border to get it on a regular basis. I guess I will go for Point Brews that come across the border and when I do not have to go to Hudson to get New Glarus brews.

9. Try a reallly cold...

Labatt's Blue, or Molson, or Moosehead. Wasn't Leinie's supposed to be an attempt to copy a Canadian-style beer, in the first place? Or maybe I'm confusing some "Northwoods Beer" marketing from some other brand.

Or -- for something completely different, tip back a vino. The only reason anyone in Europe ever started drinking beer, in the first place, was one of the "little ice ages." For a few years straight, it got so unreasonably cold most all of the grape vines on the European continent died. Up until then, the universal beverage of choice had been wine. It's mayybee a little healthier than beer, too, if anything alcoholic can be associated with any kind of health benefit. Think of this as an opportunity to ignore conditioning, stifle instilled marketing responses, and put a hold on the accumulated cultural brainwashing of many decades. Decide for yourself what it is you really want to be pouring through your pie hole. (As long as you're not behind the wheel, at the same time, of course.)
