I am back in La Crosse tonight so I went to the best beer bar in the town Bodega Brewpub http://www.bodegabrewpublax.com/. It was Tuesday night and I was greeted by the familiar face of John, the bar manager, and after a quick look at the taps I ordered a Palo Santo Marron http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/year-round-brews/palo-santo-marron.htm . This is a complex beer that happens to be a high ABV as well. As an aside I remember a couple years ago when Sam Calagione was pouring Palo Santo "illegally" at Great Taste of the Midwest. I say "illegally" because Sam and Dogfish head are not from the Midwest. It is an awesome beer!
I followed it up with Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot http://www.lagunitas.com/beers/index.html a excellent
American Strong Ale. It is brown in color with a strong malty backbone and just enough hops to be assertive. This a wonderful beer, as most anything that Lagunitas makes. Boy I wish Lagunitas was a local brewery for me in the QC.
Well tonight was a quite but enjoyable night for me. Also Bodega does a 2 for Tuesday night, two sandwiches for the price of one. It is an awesome deal, but does not do me much good. If you are in La Crosse at any time this is a must stop, If you do not go here you do not love beer.
