Meh. In my quest to visit EVERY brewery in Wisconsin, I had to stop at Capital Brewery. I previously tried some of their beers at the MKE Brewfest and was semi-impressed by the new Imperial IPAs so I wanted to give some of their other beers a try. I don't know if it's because we came on a day where there was a 5K or what, but the brewery was pretty much closed except for the beer garden and the little store inside. There were no samples or flights offered and you could only get a pint for like $6 outside. Bah. We wanted to try something new so we had an Autumnal Fire and the Appleanche Dopplebock. We weren't impressed with either one. Frankly, the Appleanche was just weird. It smelled like an apple cider and tasted like an average ale. The Autumnal Fire was decent but nothing special. I totally committed alcohol abuse and threw half of my beer away. *GASP*
Sadly so, I expected more from Capital and don't think I'd stop back in next time I'm in Madison when there are breweries like Ale Asylum nearby.
