You live in/around Madison? I live downtown. Been to Hop Cat yet? They have 30 local brews on tap, during happy hour (M-Th, 2-6pm) all local taps are $3 and burgers are 1/2 price. I've only been once, and it seems to be an older crowd during happy hour (not sure now since the kids are back in school). I hate to say this, but I think Great Dane's beers are terrible. They are always skunky. Can't say I've ever liked anything they've made except for maybe one of their porters. I know the guys at MobCraft, I did a consulting project for them in the MBA program. They make some really interesting and unique stuff. You can buy it at their warehouse (off Stoughton Rd.), Trixie's Liquor (East Wash), and some stuff at Riley's and Metcalf's Market. I live about half an hour from Madison. I am attending MATC and had a 5 hour gap in classes one day a week in the spring. I usually stopped for lunch at a brewpub. Probably do supper a few times a month at one this semester. Met a few guys who like craft beer over the spring and summer. Have not been to Hop Cat. Usually when I am around there I go to Cooper's Tavern. I usually end up at either Ale Asylum or karben 4. They are really close to campus. Great Dane and New Glarus have been passed up by many places. They may not even make top 10 if I really sat down and started listing brewpubs and breweries. Definitely would not have a top 10 in individual beers. I have heard of Mobcraft but never had their beer.
