At the 2026 @WIBookFestival Author Jesse Brookstein (Best of the Wurst) and I discussed with an audience “Brewers & Butchers: How Beer & Sausage Shaped Wisconsin History.” It was moderated by Ashley Rodriguez of the @CapTimes

Now this is #Oktoberfest in October @CapBrew - brewmaster Tanner Brethorst offers the ceremonial 🍻 cheers. 🎉 🍺 #Prost #WIBeer #MSNBeer
🍺 @CapBrew Brewery and Bier Garten — Oktoberfest is today noon–6pm.
Always a great fall day when you can celebrate the season with Capital’s Oktoberfest and Autumnal Fire, and a brat! 🍻 🌭
Gotta love the Tripel.
Congrats to Erika and Jessica Jones at #GiantJonesBrewing on their 4th Annual Belgian Beer Fest. 🍻
If you enjoy a taste of history, you’ll want to check out Downshift, a Kentucky Common, created by brewer Mac Schroeder from Bodihow Brewing Company in Oregon. The lost art of the Kentucky Common and other #MSNBeer #WIBeer news is in my latest column.

A big weekend is planned for those who like #BelgianBeer — the 4th Annual #GiantJonesBrewing Belgian Beer Fest in Madison. #WIBeer #MSNBeer
At @MLB-NLCS Game 2 — and despite looking for the ideal beer photo - looked up at the right time to capture a perfect image right in front of me. The @brewers Miz with Big Papi between segments of a @MLBONFOX shoot. #winourway #WIBeer #GoBrewers #BrewCrew
Celebrating with the dedicated community members who helped restore the Christiana Brewery beer cellar in Rockdale. The cave was used in the 1850s. Its restoration calls attention to Dane County’s brewing heritage. Thanks to those who asked me to sign #AKegofTheirBest @whspress
See the historic Christiana Brewery cellar on Saturday (10/10). Starts at 12p.
The cellar is at 403 Sheldon St, Cambridge. The CamRock Trail leads to the cellar’s entrance.
I’ll have copies of my new book “A Keg of Their Best” published by @whspress

The “art” of making a great #FlandersRed requires “pulling a nail” and occasionally sampling. The brewer knows when the flavors meet expectations and it’s ready.
Read about how Bill Morgan, brewer @FullMileBeerCo does it at #Isthmus #WIBeer

Cheers 🍻 to the @Brewers in Game One of the MLB NLDS with a 3-2 win over the Padres. @AmFamField qualifies as a #HappyPlace
#WIBeer ⚾️ @thirdspacebrews
🍻 🍻 @Brewers in GAME TWO of the MLB NLDS with a 4-3 walk off win over the Padres. 🍻 🍻
With the victory, @amfam becomes a SUPER HAPPY - Happy Place
#WIBeer @thirdspacebrews
Brunch with @Brewers - best ballpark treat - Monkey Bread and a honey hazy IPA (Watching Bees from #NorthPillarBrewing ) Best paired with a win in today’s MLB-NLDS Game Two! GO BREWERS. #WIBeer
It’s Oktoberfest season and that means @Brewers @MLBPostseason1 ⚾️
My walk-up to home plate (entry gates).
GO BREWERS!
It’s #freshhop season. @FullMileBeerCo the fall brew (First Picked 2026) is a hazy IPA featuring the old school pine and grapefruit bitterness of Centennial hops. Brewmaster Bill Morgan personally went to Four Winds Farm in Fitchburg to select the hops he wanted. #WIBeer
Jacob Misiorowski’s inspiring words after game #162 of the regular season - seen on the score board at AMFAM Field, “To quote my teammate Sal, I love beer, go Brewers and I love Milwaukee.” [stadium erupts]
Cheers🍻 to Miz & the Brewers on 103 wins. Now on to the Post Season.
GAME #162 - the Post Season lies ahead for @Brewers
BTW: no MIZ-take, — no better way to toast a deep MLB Play-Off run of October ⚾️ than with @Leinenkugels “uber” Oktoberfest! #WIBeer
Happy 10th Anniversary to @thirdspacebrews co-founders Andy Gehl and Kevin Wright. Celebrating (today, 9/26) in great outdoor #Oktoberfest fashion with the love of fans, music and new #WIBeer releases. 🍻 to one of MKE’s best.
In a galaxy not that far away (#MSNBeer #WIBeer universe) there is a bright new STAR. @deltabeerlab releases a new West Coast IPA next week.
