A weekend away
This coming weekend my friend David and I are getting a guy’s weekend away as a very generous present from our wives. We’ll be heading to my in-laws’ lake house in Wisconsin where we may or may not fish. I do know that we’ll be doing the superduper new hard hat tour at New Glarus Brewing on Friday afternoon, eating some fine Wisconsin cheese, hoping to fill our bellies with tasty perch and walleye (whether caught by us or not), and probably grilling out some big hunks of meat to be consumed with copious amounts of red wine. A big thanks to Kathy, a frequent commenter on this site, for the inside info on the cheese and fish fry scenes.
We’re each bring four bottles of wine, and I’m toting a bottle of whisky. We’ll be buying our beer in Wisconsin because there’s just so much delicious stuff we can’t get easily down here, or miss out on entirely.
There is no TV at the house, no internet access, and no cell service unless you drive to the nearest town. I will be surrounded by the beautiful lake, the Wisconsin countryside, a couple of books I’ve been wanting to read and a good friend. I can’t wait.
As a Wisconsin native ( north-central), I make a couple trips a year up there. Always come home with a trunl full of NG, Central Waters, and Tyrannea brews. Just can’t get them in STL, so, I need my fix!
Sounds like heaven. I’m planning a WI trip right now too: ten days next summer hitting as many breweries as possible.
