It had been months since my last column for the State Journal, and nearly all the copious WI beer news flew in the face of the prevailing wisdom about craft beer's decline. A roundup of the good news and a clear-eyed look at the headwinds: madison.com/life-enterta...
Beer Baron: The death of craft brewing has been greatly exaggerated
Surprise — there has been a spate of good news so far in 2025.

Well, I mean, that's an iconic Madison shot. The content is almost all fine to great. But ... c'mon, the implication is it was "sleepy" before ... like before the Epic boom? C'mon!

The writer is a local native and the pics are fine, so that’s good. But the framing is just classic NYT-Midwest.

These editors just cannot help but step on their own dicks when they talk about literally anything in the Midwest, can they?
Once a sleepy (albeit hard-partying) college town, only truly busy on a handful of football Saturdays in the fall, Madison, Wisconsin, has undergone a population boom, transforming it into a full-fledged city. Its farmers’ markets and love for beer and cheese are still going strong, but now Madison also offers an impressive lineup of restaurants, bars and venues attracting major acts. https://nyti.ms/4h56eux

@wibeerbaron.bsky.social just knocked out my third "big" BCBS for victories over the Cubs. Need some LA beers quick for this week (obviously available in local bottle shops). Any suggestions?

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I wanted the Cubs. This will be something both franchises will be talking about for 20 years. The #Brewers players, though? They don't care. Eyes on the prize. #ThisIsMyCrew www.milwaukeemag.com/lets-embrace...
Let’s Embrace the Brewers’ Date With Destiny – And Also the Cubs
The Brewers’ opponent in the divisional series adds some juice for the fans. But for the players, the goal is much larger: Win a World Series.
