I'm sure that Schiltz will once again be distributed in New England and I'm pretty sure I can wait for that day to come.

I was going to suggest the Linenkugel Octoberfest (because it's not "officially" a German beer, it's spelled differently) - that's my absolute all time favorite beer. I didn't think you'd know what a Leinie was...

...and that's the best way to show ignorance in Milwaukee - ask them for a local brew! The state is best known for its cheese - but the best kept secret is all of the brews that come from there. If you can find 'em - I'd also suggest Sprecher's. They make the absolute best root beer anywhere - but an even better line of small craft beers.
