Living in a very cold climate - Canada Goose winterwear and Audi Quattros.

Anecdote!

A friend and I went to an event in Milwaukee, "The world's largest office party" or some such, at Christmas time. Celebrities would be there acting as hosts, etc.

Went up to a man selling beer, and I asked him, "Can I have a Leinie's please?"

He nodded, poured my beer, and put out his hand. "Hi, I'm Jake Leinenkugel!"

Jake and I were connected that evening. I went nowhere else for beer, and when he saw me, he jumped up to get my next beer.

The beer was, in case you're wondering, Leinenkugel's Original. Not one of the special ones. Though they used to make one called Autumn Gold. It tasted like a forest in fall in northern Wisconsin looked. Broke my heart when they discontinued it, and it hasn't been back since.


We did a big family vacation last summer in Upper Peninsula Michigan and we stopped along the way and picked up as many local beers as we could find. We did end up with a Leinie variety pack, there wasn't a bad beer in it. After Yuengling, I'd say Leinenkugel's would be somewhere in my top 5 breweries.

Leinenkugel October Fest is one of the best around in my opinion. Unfortunately, not many places carry it here in NY.

Excellent anecdote. When in high-school, a couple of friends and I used to drive on occasion from our home in Evanston (Chicago) to Stevens Point, WI, to buy Point beer. I see that they are still in business:

They sure are and they now make a variety of beers like Leinie's do.

A company has to be very good to retain my loyalty. I am exceptionally fickle. As a result, the list is short. Stihl, Tanqueray, Seiko, Kimber, Toyota. Maybe a couple others I can鈥檛 think of at the moment.

Schiit amps

Speaker or headphone amps?

I really like their philosophy. USA made, good quality, high value, and analog buttons. I have a Modi dac and sys volume control for a set of PSB powered speakers. I am sold and will buy more Schiit in the future.

Dr. Pepper. There's nothing that comes close to it, for me.

I've got their entry-level Magni and Modi 2 Uber and they've been running strong for about 4 years now, powering everything from sensitive IEMs to the admittedly not very hard to drive HD650 and DT1350.

Does a very fine job, and at a very reasonable price compared to the competition IMO!

If we're talking WI beer, it is hard to beat New Glarus. I'd drive over the border when I lived in the Midwest just to get a case of Spotted Cow.
