Milwaukee Brewers Trip

4 guys, 1 large gas guzzling SUV and 341.37 miles of roads to be traveled. Let the trip to see the Milwaukee Brewers begin.



I don't know what Kris is doing to this baby dinosaur but I'm sure it doesn't appreciate his Tom Foolery. No wonder why the dinosaurs are extinct.



The great city of Milwaukee! (Wayne's World) In fact , it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land." If you get a chance, go to the Safe House for drinks. It is a really rad spy themed bar where you need to know the secret password to get in.



Andy, James, Kris and I hanging out just before the Miller Brewing Co. beer tour.



Bang! Bang! Andy shot you down.



Is this what heaven looks like? Miller facts: In the picture below is where they store all of their finished cases of Miller products. This warehouse is 5 football fields put together with beer stacked 20 feet high. All of this beer will be out of this warehouse within 24 hours! 40% of this beer goes to Chicago.



Here's a good picture of all of the Miller Brewing Co. buildings. Miller facts: 1,400 cans and bottles of beer are filled in a minute. 2,000 plastic bottles are filled in a minute.



Andy enjoying a Leinies Berry Weiss for the first time.



Kris acting like a B.A.M.F.



Do you want to arm wrestle? I kind of look like Bull from the movie Over The Top in this picture.



James also enjoying some free beer in the beer garden.



"Dear Corey, Wish you where here." signed by all the guys. We missed ya buddy!



Miller park and all of its glory.



I figured since we are in Milwaukee I needed to drink some Milwaukee made beer. I know you may be saying to yourself, "Yuck Hamm's? You might as well be licking a horses ass!". But don't knock it until you try it. It was rather good and I would purchase it again in the future. Back in the day Hamm's was made in our great state of Minnesota



Rick James BITCH!! Like the table? We borrowed it from the HoJo.



Tailgating 3 hours before the game.



Here is a good shot of how serious Milwaukeeans are about tailgating. I wish we could do this for the Twinkies or Vike Queens.



Inside Miller Park. The attendance for the game was over 42,000 peeps. BTW the Brewers won.



It was lunch box give away at Miller Park but there was a catch, you needed to be 16 and under. After complaining half of the game a 13 year old girl gave James her lunch box.



The Sausage race! The Polish sausage won!



Another great beer from this weekend, Spotted Cow. I picked up a case at the Pick'n'Save just before we left Milwaukee.

Here is the LINK to the rest of the pictures.

What a great weekend with the guys. I can't wait until next year to do it all over again!

1. Spotted Cow is awesome. I'm glad someone afrees with me.

2. A sausage race? Seriously, only in Sconny.

3. If you have more than 5 Hamms, beware of the dreaded flatulence.

Looks like it was an awesome midwest road-trip weekend!

We stopped at Rocky Rococo's on the way back and they had Spotted Cow on tap! Oh hell yes we got a pitcher!

I should have picked up some of their other flavors while I was in WI.
