More great news for St. Louis-area beer lovers as Andrew Traughber over at Bon Vivant Wines (my favorite Illinois-based wine and beer emporium owner) has gotten access to the fine beers from Capital Brewery in Madison, Wisconsin. Capital specializes in outstanding lagers, and we can now pick up their Special Pilsner (one of the best domestic Pilsner, along with Victory’s Prima Pils – which Andrew also usually has), Munich Dark (a lovely dunkel), Bavarian Lager (a true Helles) and Wisconsin Amber (Vienna-ish). I’m very happy to have grabbed (via proxy – thanks, Carl!) some of the Pils and Dark for the holiday weekend.
Oh, and to up the ante, Andrew also got Dark Horse’s undefinable, but amazing, Black Bier, and their fine Crooked Tree IPA. Oh, and some great stuff from Moylan’s. And then, of course, there are the wines . . . . Thanks for the continued hard work, Andrew!
Mark passed on this news to me — congratulations and enjoy, Dave! Oh, and I finally had that Dunkel with some of that (defrosted & reheated) beef barley soup last night. Delicious.
Glad you liked the combo, Kathy. I would say something about it being hella warm for beef barley soup, but I know that I’d just hear how nice the weather is up your way. Location, location, location and all that.
[...] I totally dropped the ball on this, luckily Dave picked it up. [...]
