Spotted Cow isn't a "flavored" beer, but I agree that it is overrated.
Surly beers are also overrated in my opinion. It almost as if the brewmaster just discovered hops and over hops everything he brews. Blech.... |

Location: minocqua, wi. | seems to me like it's one of those citrus injected beers that are good at first and then you realize it's a syrup overpowering a hoppy beer. |

#*^@ right. Both completely overrated. I like hoppy but there are too many johnny come lately brewmasters now that overdo the hops, package it up so it sells, and people jump all over it because it's trendy. "It tastes like hell, but I sure feel cool ordering it!"
Right now I'm on Bell's Two-Hearted again after a brief affair with Leinie's Canoe Paddler. |

| Spotted Cow is a traditional "farmhouse ale". No added flavoring. The hops they use are not as bitter as some.
If you want a really good beer, a lager, try Two Women from New Glarus. Really a crisp, clean taste. Probably the best lager style beer I have had. |

Location: Lake Country, Wisconsin | some of the New Glarus beer is pretty good...although doesn't equal the hype really
for a WI brewery I think I lean to some of the Tyranena stuff. |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Mauston Park Oasis carries it - exit 69, take right off the ramp. Or take a left, there's liquor store about 1/4 mile, past 1st light on your right. J&S Liquors. He also has great deli next door..
While you're off the interstate get some fresh curds - Carr Valley Cheese!
Got to agree about some of these over hopped brews, like what kind of pallate they have, might as well chew some hops!
Have fun!

| I do like surly furious..but I also cracked their recipe. One gulp of Milwaukee's best, one sprig of pine tree between check and gum.
swish to taste.

Also, I really don't like hoppy beers. I have spring allergies and I'm allergic to pollen and they set them OFF - halfway through a beer I'll start sneezing sometimes. |

Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | Just go to the live well and pull out a can of Old Milwaukee that's been sitting there for the season....uhm! Got a neighbor who operates the microbrew tent at the State Fair, some of the stuff will clean the rust off a hook. When did someone think that beer mixed with fruit tasted good? We used to call that whoopatully in college.......

Location: Minocqua, WI | Nothing beats a Point Special in my opinion for boat comfort and celebration. That's as original and refreshing as it gets. Plus who doesn't love the retro cans?
Capital Brewing, Lakefront (IPA's awesome btw), and Fox River Brewing (Oshkosh) get my preference over Glarus.

Right now I'm on Bell's Two-Hearted again after a brief affair with Leinie's Canoe Paddler.
If I'm dropping $9+ on a six pack, Bell's Two-Hearted is a close 2nd to South Shore's Nut Brown Ale.
I find Spotted Cow bland. Fat Squirrel and Two Women are much better New Glarus beers. |

Location: MN | I agree Spotted Cow is overrated. That said, anything New Glarus makes is far superior beer to Rolling Rock or Leinie's. You may like the taste of those more and that's fine but those are low quality beers.
If you want high quality beer on your way north stop at the Brewhouse in Duluth. They have tons of good brews and you can sample prior to purchasing. They only sell in growlers though since they are a brewpub. If you need cans stop at store in Duluth or Superior and get some Bent Paddle. |
