Is there a company that brews an 'original' German beer (like they
made in the 20's)?


Well, Big John, your quest for good beer ends he
http://www.sprecherbrewery.com/


Man, your killin' me. The Sprecher brewery was what I was trying to find
when I was driving through town, but I missed it somehow and ended up at
Lake Michigan. I turned south and saw some of the grandest mansions I have
ever seen. From there, I turned back into town and found Pabst.

In my neck of the woods, the brewery of choice is the Carolina Brewing
Company. They put on a tour every Saturday at 1:00 and they open the taps
for about two hours offering very good beer, usually two regular varieties
and one seasonal. One time I went, they had a tap with a big number "6" on
it. I asked what it meant, and it had a double meaning: It was their 6th
anniversary, but the beer was 6% alcohol (two pints of that and you're real
happy!) You don't even have to buy a glass, they hand them out. The place is
full of regulars that are there every Saturday. They usually sell enough
bottled beer and souvenirs to cover the costs, but more importantly, they
win converts to spread the word. I work with a whole bunch of Wisconinites
and I know where they are every Saturday at around 1:00!
