Posted by BratsNBeerGuy on Oct 27, 2008 in Uncategorized | 2 comments While taking in the gospel brunch at Stubb’s BBQ was a mighty fine way to spend the Packers bye week Sunday, I’m glad to say it’s finally time to get back to football. As I write this post, Green Bay’s next opponent, the […]
The Green Bay Packers are one of the oldest and most storied franchises in the history of the National Football League. Formed in 1919 by Curly Lambeau, the team joined the league in 1921 and has won a record 12 championship titles. Green Bay is the only NFL team to win three league titles in […]
Next to the Packers and Cheeseheads, the thing Wisconsin is most famous for is beer. It’s the beer capital of America, ranking at the top in both per capita consumption and production. (Don’t quote me on this, though. Consumption I’m sure of, but I might be off on production.) One of my favorite labels is […]

Mmm, bratwurst. Some people salivate for steak or lobster, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t give for a nice, juicy brat right off the grill. Know your brat Bratwurst comes from Germany, of course, the country that was built on sausage and beer. Some claim that the name is derived from the verb braten, which means […]
December 3, 2008 posted under: Food, Lambeau Field I’m not sure how I should feel about this, but PETA recently named Lambeau Field one of the top five vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL. While it’s nice to see the historic stadium recognized, should we be worried that they’re serving too much tofu up in brats […]
November 26, 2008 Honestly, I don’t have too many great thoughts about the Monday night game — or rather debacle — in New Orleans, and I’m certainly not going to run through the litany of mistakes the Packers made in that 51-29 blowout loss to the Saints. Have I lost all hope? Of course not […]
June 3, 2008 Warning to Brown County criminal masterminds: Avoid breaking into homes occupied by members of the Green Bay Packers. Apparently a couple douchebags broke into the home of Noah Herron and one of them ended up in the hospital when the Packers running back used “justifiable force in protecting his life and property” […]
May 29, 2008 So what did I do during the long Memorial Day weekend? Well, I did not think about Ryan Grant’s contract negotiations, I did not stop to consider whether or not Ted Thompson should make a trade for Jason Taylor, and I certainly did not worry about what the Packers organization should do […]
January 30, 2008 All season long he’s kept his nose clean, kept his yap shut, and played lights-out football, but given the biggest stage in the world at the Super Bowl Randy Moss decided to unload on the Green Bay Packers. Asked by Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel about his talks with the Packers […]
May 25, 2007 It’s not like we need any empirical evidence that former Vikings washout Sean Salisbury is the biggest blowhard on ESPN, but I just happened to overhear this little exchange on SportsCenter. The host/anchor asked John Clayton, “What’s the biggest question in your mind heading into mini camps?” to which the diminutive analyst […]
April 30, 2007 Butch from the blog From The Cheap Seats left a question here today about the Randy Moss trade that didn’t happen, and rather than bury my answer in the comments I thought I’d go ahead and post on it. To be honest, I was relieved that the Patriots and Bill Belichek will […]
January 24, 2007 Steelers fans, and I know a couple, generally seem to be change averse, so they cannot be very happy with all goings on in Pittsburgh the past few days. First Bill Cowher retires, then Ken Wisenhunt leaves for Arizona, in comes Mike Tomlin from the Vikings (maybe a bigger whodat head coaching […]
December 31, 2006 According to the Wikipedia, bears evolved from a dog-sized raccoon-like creature called Cephalogale and are part of the same family of mammals as weasles. I believe that goes for Bears fans as well. So here it is, the last day of 2006 and the end of the regular season. There is a […]
