Their Unplugged Apple Ale is f'n amazing. Just the perfect balance of Apple and malt. It puts every "cider" to shame.

Love this stuff. Buy some every time I'm in Wisconsin. They had a blueberry beer last summer that was AMAZING, but apparently it was only seasonal because I couldn't find it the next time we were up in WI. Wish I could buy this stuff locally.

Well, New Glarus beers are sold exclusively in Wisconsin (although there is a bar or two in Chicago that will sell you a Fat Squirrel) after having trouble keeping up with demand when they were distributing in Illinois. That being said, every time I drive past the Woodmans in Kenosha, I stop and pick up a case or two of New Glarus beers.
