This series of posts is dedicated to the many, many six packs, pony kegs and pints that have sauntered into my life at one point or another.
The annual trek I undertake to my northern homeland has in recent years been by car. While this adds to the travel time, it also means I return to my current residence with a splendiferous bounty of beautifully brewed beers. The refrigerator is very full these days with a myriad of wonders, but the one that has stirred the greatest affection in me lately is a humble offering from Madison’s Capital Brewery. Supper Club lays its aspirations out right on the can, reaching for the down-home comforts of Wisconsin’s backwoods fancy dining establishments of days gone by. It is a plain, tasty lager, lacking the pushy robustness of many craft beers, opting instead for a cozy, flavorful, thirst-quenching directness. Yes, it’s designed to be reminiscent of the sort of workingman beers that a wise bartender knew to crack as soon as they saw a regular cross the threshold of the establishment, but it also works fine and dandy for a sunny afternoon out by the backyard grill. What can I say? It tastes like home. You betcha.
