When in the Lake Geneva or Delavan area, it’s always on our mind to swing by the friendly @duesterbecksbrewingco — uniquely located on a 164-year-old family farm outside of Elkhorn. A lively taproom, pavilion, patio with outdoor stage, brewery, gift shop, and hops yard are all there to enjoy.

It's fantasy football draft time. What are you drinking while you assemble your roster for the season? For us, it was Haze of the Dead, a tasty double NEIPA that's part of the Dead Head IPA series from @destihlbrewery in Normal. Just two more drafts to go...

When you’re grilling out, two things are always important (besides the company, of course): proper seasoning and a proper drink. Tonight, it was St. Elmo’s Steakhouse all-purpose seasoning and a stellar hazy IPA from @pollyannabrewingcompany

Brewery bite of the week: The shrimp po boy, new sweet corn pasta salad, and a lime pilsner from @uneannee in Niles. And did we mention how fantastic the patio is on a night like tonight?

When in Boston, make sure to make your way to the @trilliumbrewing taproom in the Fort Point neighborhood near the wharf or the cool spot by Fenway, as well as the @ciscobrewers pop-up beer garden by Fenway. And talk about the wonderful surprise of us stumbling across the @treehousebrewco beer garden near the historic Fanueil Hall today. Winner winner, craft beer dinner
