Crosstown Brewing Company, Memphis, TN

I stopped in at Crosstown Brewing Company in Memphis, Tennessee.  Unfortunately, I got there right after the bar had closed.  Fortunately, the bartender was able to sell me a four-pack of Tator Doppelbock Lager.  Unfortunately, while I was enjoying one in the picnic area the brewery staff informed me that I could not consume take-away beer on premises.  Fortunately, I was able to bring the remaining cans to my hotel for later consumption – like now.

I stopped in at Hinterland Erie Street Gastropub in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for dinner and a beer.  The group I was with turned the appetizer menu into a sampler and enjoyed so many menu items – they were all delicious!  I think we tried them all.  I enjoyed the Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock.  What a rich beer.  This is something to sip and enjoy just like a fine bourbon, whiskey or scotch.  Very complex.  Malty and sweet.  But with a deep rich flavor,  Outstanding evening of food and drink.
