WI Brewery Tour - Red Eye, Wausau



Our good bartender from Hereford & Hops told us about this brewery.
He highly recommended it...and now we know why.
It has fabulous beer and food.
Very organic, very, very, and I'm not kidding you,
tasty stuff here!!




We started our lunch with a set of "samplers." Our two favorites are
pictured above on the left. "Bloom" (far left) and the one with the lemon
slice is called "The Cyclist." Both are perfect beverages for lunch...
and speaking of lunch...




We ordered two items off the menu to share.
One was a chicken wrap...sorry don't remember the
name of it. It was excellent & fresh!!




Our other treat was the "Red Eye Special."
A delicious salad with beautiful pieces of avocado.




A nice big window so that you can observe the magic!!

Red Eye was one of my favorite breweries so far...
top of the list for them!!
I plan on going back for more growlers soon!!!

OK, Jack, is the Red Eye in Wausau? If yes, then you have told me something I didn't already know! Woo hoo! The food looked very good, esp. the salad; I've never eaten a salad with sliced/diced/whole avocado's. Something new to try! The drinks looked good, too, but I'm trying to cut back!

Jack, why don't you write a book abouts all the intriquing places you visit in Wisconsin? You can have Calypso there to help with the pictures! And WI people would know where to go for all these cool things to do!

BTW, do the employees at the restaurants, breweries think it's strange that you are taking pictures of food & drinks? Esp. the food! LOL

Sir,

I tried to stop by the cabin over my lunch period. It wasn't there, or maybe I wasn't there, I'm not sure which but I couldn't get there. I just thought you may want to know.

That's a good idea about writing a book about these interesting places.

Yes, they think we're funny, esp. when I ask to take their picture too!!

Whoosy, glad you found it mate!

Sir Jack, this is the first time I've posted to your blog, but your is part of my daily reads. I'm not from WI and have enjoyed your writeups and photos of Little Bo, Capone's hideaway, etc. Great photos as well.

I decided to post today because of your pictures of food. I'm so glad to see someone else takes pictures of food and then writes about it.

When I'm out with friends at a new restaurant and want to critique it they don't understand why I need food pictures. LOL

So thank you. The food really looks appealing and the restaurant sounds great. :)
