Where can I find me one of those?
Always love to see companies get creative to sell their products, and in this case it works pretty well! How did it taste?

@ Greg - New Glarus is a microbrewery and their beers are only available in Wisconsin. They’re quite popular here though. They do some seasonal beers, and Totally Naked is only available in the summer (makes sense). My friends and I agreed - it’s good for a light beer : )

Boo for only Wisconsin. Maybe next summer it will be part of the road trip plans. Thanks for the info!!

Oh, funny you should post a photo of a microbrewery’s beer. Atlanta has a pretty popular microbrewery as well. It’s called Sweetwater. There is just one problem: the name Sweetwater reminds me of a few friends’ (business??) plan of bottling the water directly from Lake Mendota and selling it as dirt-cheap beer in bars in Madison…

@ Gene - hahaha… ew.

@ Gene Shiau - SWEETWATER 420 is the BEST beer. So good. I got my husband a beer club membership for Christmas, and we receive different American microbrews monthly. Sweetwater is one of our favorites by far…don’t know about your friend’s business plan though…

Spotted Cow is my personal favorite, I grew up on that stuff.

@ Milena - Whoa, really? I am not the beer type, but with an endorsement like that I suppose I’ll have to give Sweetwater a try. I just hope I can actually taste the difference.
(A “perfect cheeseburger” fell flat on its bun when I broke my three-year burger abstinence to try it out: http://hammering-reaction.blogspot.com/2007/08/geeky-eye-on-perfect-cheeseburger.html)

@Gene - I’m not a huge beer fan either, I usually sneek a sip of my husband’s, but this beer would have warranted my own bottle.
Sorry about the cheeseburger! That sucks. Here’s to hoping the beer lands in your belly, not the ground.

Aww. Disappointing to hear that’s only available in Wisconsin. I love microbrews. Not a fan of light beer myself… but with a name like Totally Naked, I’d open up and try it :-p
