Every year, Amanda and I try to take a night after work to go to the Wisconsin State Fair for a couple beers and some fatty fair food - the kind that will give you a heart attack just by being within 10 feet of it. I always get the smelt boat from the Door County Fish Boil (because I love fried smelt, and I don't find it very often anywhere else), and I try to have one of the unique and possibly disgusting sounding new fair foods. This year it was the Krispy Kreme cheese burger. It was okay. Not as gross as I suspected but not great.
Before I got my burger, I grabbed a Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale from the World Cafe area near the westside marketplace (Amanda likes window shopping random fair swag). It was the only craft beer they had at that location (although there are others sold at a couple other locations).
I've never had it before. I liked it. It was a beautiful golden color with a smooth, slightly tart taste. I really liked it.
Unfortunately after my burger, I just wasn't interested in beer any more. Which was disappointing (although it saved me money).
Amanda on the other hand found the Leinie Lodge and they were serving the cheapest beer on site - she got a 20 ounce Berry Weiss for $6.00. It was such a great price (for the size, compared to the rest of the site) that I would have overcome my post-burger disinterest if they'd been serving something I was interested in drinking.
I'll get another chance this Saturday, when we go back with friends.
