Last night my brother and I gave a beer called Supper Club by Capital Brewery (Middleton, WI) a try. Capital describes this beer as a Wisconsin style lager in the tradition of roadside supper clubs aglow with colorful neon and even more colorful locals. It's branded as Timelessly Refreshing (TM), and I can't say that I disagree. It is an easy, refreshing drink. That's probably about it. This beer has no pretensions of being extraordinary and for that reason it succeeds at being exactly what it is. Just an American style lager.
I'm a fan of Capital Brewery, so I really can't fault them for making a beer that tastes more like something I've had at college parties than something I've had in Munich. It's the same style of beer as your average Miller or Budweiser, except with a little more flavor. And it seems that's exactly what it wants to be. It's a beer that exudes that great Midwestern attitude of "I am what I am and you can like me or not."
In the end, I'd say that I don't regret trying Supper Club. Will I buy it again? Maybe, maybe not. But for those of you who enjoy MGD or Budweiser, this would be a superior alternative. All in all, Supper Club is exactly what it says on the label... "Not Bad."
