Some of you may remember the song "Stranded in Iowa", well that is a bit how I am feeling this evening. I'm in Freeport Illinois tonight and I am a beerguy without beer! There is no place in this town that has a decent beer selection, let alone a decent food menu.
I am very disappointed in Freeport. They claim to have been settled by German immigrants. To celebrate that heritage the are " The Pretzel City" and the high school team is called the Pretzels. To go even further there is a story that the high school team was to actually called the "Beermasters" have no proof of this but this would fit with the German heritage.
Needless to say if a town is founded by German immigrants and they take pride in their German heritage this would lead one to believe that there would be BEER here, but alas no beer. I am sure that there have been numerous breweries in Freeport and at times there should have been a few decent beer bars. Currently there are neither!
My big night out was to Applebee's for dinner and a couple of Sam Adams, nothing special. Well can't always have a worthy beer bar in every town I go to, but I don't expect to have no options.

Hotel Blackhawk Downtown Davenport, IA
Last night my wife and I attended an event that was held at the River Center and then the Gold Room at the Hotel Blackhawk http://hotelblackhawk.com/. The hotel has been recently reopened after a $45 million dollar refurbishing and it looks wonderful. We stayed overnight in a nicely furnished room. It even has a built-in flat screen tv in the mirror in the bathroom.
Before the event we went downstairs to the bar on the first floor. It is a cozy, dark wood embellished bar. The have six taps running the range from Bud Light to Warstiener Dunkel. Only one tap handle was the mass produced American beer, my wife did get a draft of Stella. (this is for you sweety STELLAAAAAAA!) They also had a better than average bottle selection. In total they had around a dozen different bottles and again it ranged from Bud Light to fine craft beer. My first beer was a Brau Brothers' Sheephead Ale http://www.braubrothersbrewing.com/ , it comes across as an American IPA. It is a copper color with a firm persistent white head, with a slight haze. On first sniff the spicy, herbal, citrus hops explodes in the olfactory senses. The hop aroma stays throughout the finish of the beer. On taste there is a definite malt backbone coming from the toasted and chocolate malts used in the beer. The hops certainly compliment the malt backbone. Overall I enjoyed this wonderful Am. IPA. I would recommend this beer.
My second beer was a Sierra Nevada Torpedo American IPA http://www.sierranevada.com/index2.html . This is a personal favorite of mine. This beer pours a light copper with a white long lasting head. The aroma from this beer is wonderful if you are a hop head like me. This is dry hopped as well run through a hopback that is shaped like a torpedo, thus the name of the beer. They use a mixture of whole cone hops in this beer including Magnum, Crystal and Citra. There is a strong malt backbone to carry the hops in the taste coming from the base 2 row and crystal malts that are used. As I said this is a personal favorite of mine, this holds up to about any Am. IPA I can think of.
The third and last beer I had was a Point 2012 Black Ale http://www.pointbeer.com/point/ . This is a new beer to me, it pours black with a nice firm long lasting tan head. There is a complex rich roasty notes complemented by a spicy, herbal notes from the hops. On tasting it is a dark rich complex with noticeable hop aroma. I greatly enjoyed this beer and it has won an award at the World Beer Championship in 2010. This was a nice change up from the Am. IPAs I had previously had.
My wife's second beer was Goose Island Pere Jacques http://www.gooseisland.com/pages/home/56.php , a Belgian Abbey style Ale. When poured it is a rich amber color with a good white head. The aroma is of caramel with complex dark fruit, wonderful! Just a hint of hops to compliment the malt. The taste is quite similar to the aroma caramel with dark fruit and a hint of spiciness. This is nice beer in Goose Islands Vintage series. I would strongly suggest this beer to those who like Belgian beers.
Overall this bar is a cool place to have a few beers and meet some friends before a night out on the town. This is a typical bar at an upscale hotel that is for the guest or locals looking for a different place to try. Plus they have a good selection of beers in the limited number that they have. A cool place to check out.

Why is there no beer at most Movie Theaters?
Last night my wife and I went out to dinner and then to a movie at our local movie theater complex. After we picked up our tickets we walked over to the refreshment counter and purchased our popcorn and our drinks. Was there any beer in sight to purchase, most certainly not. Why? Is it because movie theaters are considered "family" institutions and thus cannot offer the demon drink? That really does not hold; because there are many places that a family goes to and the adults can purchase a beer if they want. These places include restaurants, sporting events, musical theatre and performance art. So my original question stands why no beer at most movie theaters? I know there was a movie theater here in the Quad Cities that served beer, wine and mixed drinks to it's patrons, but it is sadly no longer in business.
Is there any thing better than sitting back at home watching a movie enjoying some popcorn and other snacks and a couple of beers? No! It is pure bliss!
Is the reasoning that a typical movie is two hours long and there is a fear that the patron will drink to much and become dangerous to themselves and others? Again that cannot be the real reason since many events that serve beer are a lot longer in time than a movie. Was beer and alcohol ever served at movies, like once it was ok to smoke in a movie theater until the danger of that became apparent. I am totally perplexed as to the reasoning.
There does not seem to be a real reason as to why that I can think of. I suggest that we rise up and demand that our local movie theaters start serve beer and alcohol. Maybe a change can be made so the next movie I go to I can enjoy a beer or two as well as the movie.

Purchasing beer in person and online
As I said in a previous blog the QC area does not have a great beer store, but I have been able in my travels to find a few. First and closest is John's Grocery in Iowa City, IA http://www.johnsgrocery.com/. They have a great selection of US craft beers as well as a large selection of Belgium, British and German beers. They also have a few meads and a nice selection of wine and liquors.
In Rochester, MN I found a good liquor store with multiple locations, Apollo Wine and Spirits http://www.apolloliquor.com/ . They have an extensive US Craft section including a personal favorite Surly. Also they have a very good selection of bomber bottles and they have a nice selection of Imports but I have seen better at other stores.
In La Crosse, WI is where I pick up my supply of beers from WI that do not distribute outside the state. These include New Glarus Brewing, Hinterland Brewing and Pearl St. Brewing. There are no great liquor stores but the Festival Foods in Onalaska has a very good Wisconsin beer section.
Another favorite Beer store is Blue Max in Burnsville, MN no web site available. This place has the best beer selection I have seen in person. A very strong European section including multiple Cantillion offerings, John Hardy multiple years and just about any other Belgian, English or German beer you would want. Since they are in the Twin Cities metro area, they always have Surly on hand, even some of the special brews. Beyond the beer selection they do have an extensive wall of Scotch. If its made it is probably at the Blue Max.
If you can not make it to these stores how about buying on the web? I have on site I like in particular since it has a good selection of California beers including Stone brewing http://www.stonebrew.com/ , Lost Abbey http://www.lostabbey.com/ and many others. The website is http://beeronthewall.com/beer-store/beershop.html , you must order in quantities of 6, 12 and so on. They ship the beer in well designed boxes that help the beer arrive safe at your residence.
Another promising website is Beer Geek http://www.beergeek.biz/. I have never purchased from them but they do have a good selection. Brewforia http://brewforia.com/ is another site that has quite an extensive list. I am sure there are more sites out there and you may have your own favorite. So keep purchasing your fine beer how you have, but if you need somewhere to find that special beer check these out.

Rochester, MN Whistle Binkies Olde World Pub
Do not let the name fool you about this place. It is anything but odd like the name would lead some one to believe. This is another great beer bar I have found on my travels. Whistle Binkies has two locations in Rochester, http://www.whistlebinkiespub.com/index.shtml , one on the northside and the other on the southside of town. The location I went to first and like the best is the north location, from the outside it is located in a strip mall, but inside it is a restaurant with bar seating that at times seems to be on its own wait list for a seat. When I go I do find a seat at the bar which can easily seat 25 people and the restaurant can easily seat 150 people with a side room that has a fireplace and a few couches as well as tables. Whistle Binkies is a friendly place soon after sitting down a conversation is able to be struck up with those sitting around you.
The menu is extensive and basically anyone can find something to eat. As far as the beer, this place is heaven. Eighteen taps, including a semi-permanent tap of Surly's Furious Ale http://www.surlybrewing.com/. Also they have a multiple page beer menu, that includes at least 300 beers from all around the US and all over the world. If you can not find a beer here it is your own fault.
I have been here enough to become a recognized face to the bar staff. This does have some benefits, they let me know of special beers new on tap or they know what I like and point me in a direction when I am having trouble deciding on a beer. Also they let me know of upcoming beers that might be of interest to me.
I can not say enough positive things about this place. When you find yourself in Rochester this is the place to go! Tonight I had a great Ham and cheese sandwich and some really wonderful beers. The first beer I had was Surly's Abrasive Ale, a great beer. This is a DIPA and has a lot of citrus hop aroma and flavors, I love it. Next I had Hairy Eyeball from Lagunitas Brewing Company in California http://www.lagunitas.com/home.html. This beer is a rich thick hoppy American Strong Ale, as they say on the bottle this ain't no sipping beer, drink like it could be your last beer.
You may come into Whistle Binkies as a stranger but you will leave it with some new friends! This is the place to go when you are in Rochester! I was able to stop here with my wife and friends on our way up to judge at UMMO the end of last month, everyone was blown away by Whistle Binkies!!

La Crosse. WI Bodega Brewpub
I find myself in La Crosse this fine night. When I am here I go to Bodega Brewpub http://www.bodegabrewpublax.com/ this is by far the beer bar in La Crosse. They have 18 taps and one is dedicated to New Glarus Belgian Red, only bar I know of to have it on tap permanently! Also they have 360 to 370 beers in the bottle. Do I need to go on to give this bar its props, didn't think so.
What can I say this is the place to go when in La Crosse! I plan on bringing my wife and friends to this place. The bar staff is great! John, the manager is a fun surly person once you get to know him. Also Ben and Katie have learned from John if they see you more than once you are a regular and they need to treat you better. Needless to say I have become a regular. It is so ridiculous how quickly they learn your preferences!
So this is a great beer bar, equal to almost any in the Midwest I have been to including the Map Room and the Muddy Pig. Plus they serve some really good sandwiches, in the true sandwich shop type sandwiches. One of my favorites is the Cubano minus the mustard and the pickles. Besides sandwiches they have some good flat bread pizzas.
Tonight I had some great beers! These included the Fish Tale Winter IPA and Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout. Also I had tasters of a couple double IPAs. They will always let you try a taster of a tap beer before you buy it. They want you to be satisfied with your beer when you pay for it. They always have a great selection of Wisconsin brews, meaning New Glarus http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/ and Capital http://www.capital-brewery.com/ .
I happily came upon by accident a Goose Island http://www.gooseisland.com tasting at Bodega. This was run by the local Goose Island Rep. He had one of the most wonderful beers I ever had a Matilda gone wild. It was an accidental beer that got away from the brewer and went sour. This accidental on off beer is one of the greatest beers I ever had, unfortunately it is not available to the average beer drinking public.
I can not stress how much this is a great beer bar! There is unfortunately some bad history between Bodega and Pearl Street Brewing http://www.pearlstreetbrewery.com/ so Pearl Street is not carried at Bodega. Pearl Street does make some good beer so give it a try.
I am a Bodega regular and Damn proud of it! This is a beer bar worthy of a major city such as Chicago but hidden away in La Crosse. John the manager is your typical over educated bar manager, that I am so jealous of because I want to be him! When ever you make it to La Crosse search out Bodega and you will not be sorry!

Micro, macro, craft, brewpub what the heck does it all mean?
Going to try to explain all of these labels that get tossed around about different levels of brewing and the beer industry.
First off what is a macrobrewery? These are the big guys Anheuser- Busch InBev http://www.ab-inbev.com/, MillerCoors http://www.millercoors.com/our-beers/great-beer.aspx and Diageo http://www.diageo.com/en-row/ourbrands/Pages/default.aspx to name a few. Many a craft brew lover has deemed these as the "evil" empires, I was one. Not all beers from the macro guys are bad, even the yellow fizzy water they make takes extreme skill to make. These macro brews dominate the market in sales. AB InBev makes brands as Budweiser, Stella Artois, Becks and Hoegaarden to name a few. Miller Coors have merged and included in that is SAB, some brands they make include Coors, Miller, Pilsner Urquell, Peroni and Blue Moon. Diageo's brands include Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks and Red Stripe. The macros have taken a page from the micro craft guys and have started some of their own "craft" beer labels. Macrobrewers are learning that they must change to maintain their size.
Next up is the microbrewery label. By definition a microbrewery makes less than 15,000 barrels of beer a year. US measurement of a barrel is 31 gallons, a keg of beer is 15.5 gallons also know as a 1/2 barrel. So microbreweries are small breweries known for their making of quality or craft beer. Also included under this label are the brewpubs and nanobreweries. Brewpubs are microbreweries that have a restaurant as well as a brewery under the roof. Nanobreweries are a fairly recent development and are breweries that produce as little as 4 barrels or less a year. These are often, depending on state laws in a garage, a basement or even a shed in the backyard. These breweries are still fully licensed with the state and federal authorities. If a brewer sells beer they must be licensed, no questions asked.
The umbrella of microbreweries encompasses many labels as you see from above. So that craft brew you love or your local brewpub is actually a microbrewery. So that encompasses such beers as Dogfishead http://www.dogfish.com/, Bell's http://www.bellsbeer.com/, New Glarus http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/ and our local favorites of Bent, Great River, Front St. and Blue Cat.
Then there are the brewers that are in between often know as regional brewers. These are a mixture of breweries such as family breweries like Yuengling http://www.yuengling.com/over21/over21.php?referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yuengling.com%2F, August Schell or breweries that have outgrown their micro roots like Sam Adams http://www.samueladams.com/ and Sierra Nevada http://www.sierranevada.com/. This group of breweries are bigger than micros but no where near as big as the macros. They have some interesting back stories such as Yuengling is the oldest family owned brewery in America and Sam Adams is now the largest American owned brewery.
Hopefully I have help clarify some of the labels that are thrown around about breweries.
