That was my beer of choice for quite some time & also my favorite tour. It was a small brewery at the time & the informative tour lasted about 40 minutes. During the '90s one could occasionally have a short chat with the brewmaster who could be found going over some point in the process & ensuring everything was being done correctly. During that period in time, the brewmaster was John Zappa, a cousin to Frank. Learning about a little of his family history while imbibing more knowledge about what was going through the line that day always made the tour a bit more interesting. At the end there were always the 3 free 16 oz samples & lovely college girls to pour them for you. There were several occasions where the barrel was almost empty, which meant that they needed help draining it so a fresh one could be changed in for the next tour. Then there was the event called Breakfast at the Brewery. On that day there were a few early tours & a buffet style breakfast served up in the warehouse. The food was prepared by the employees & served up by whoever made the offerings that day. Two things on that menu, that I can recall being very tasty, were the potato pancakes & regular pancakes with slices of American cheese between them. Then there was a polka band & small dance area. I must say, there is no better example of the carefree simplicity in North Woods Wisconsin than watching a bunch of half crocked college kids doing the Chicken Dance at 10AM!
I really miss those days. Haven't been up there since they expanded the second time, but it's on my to do list.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
