You have on one end the incredibly wonderful Point Special, and ancillary types, from the pipeline from heaven in Steven's Point, Wisconsin, all the way down the scale to a heinous substance that besmirches the name of that great state, Wisconsin Club. That "beer" made by the Huber Brewing Company (at my last recollection) is the only beer that gave me indigestion, and that was from a SINGLE can. It wasn't skunked, no my friends, it was just B A D. I'd rather walk a mile to drink *from* a camel than to ever drink Wisconsin Club again.
Are you sure Wisconsin Club is actually produced in WI??? (Wasn't Old Milwaukee actually brewed somewhere out of state?) Maybe Huber just imports it from somewhere... I have lived here over 32 years, spent much time looking at different beers to try new things (and almost always been disappointed), and this is the first time I have EVER heard of this beer. Or maybe I've just subconsciously ignored it because it's (I assume) a light (read: not a dark). If you want to sample some decent WI brews, I would suggest:
New Glarus Uff Da Bock
Sprecher Imperial Stout
Sprecher Black Bavarian
Some decent selections at area brew pubs...
Not that I buy them, but we're talking about WI beer here. Personally, I only buy beer brewed in Germany.
