I got a friend's invitation to see the Feed the Dog band at Bare Bones Brewery last Saturday. I have never heard of the band but I figured why not check out some original music. These guys write their own music and do a good job. We got there and the weather pretty much sucked. They had the band out under a tent. Overall a relatively small crowd was there. They had some things for sale in the back of the tent, and a few kids were running around. The band really has its own sound. The lead singer plays the violin. In my opinion, this adds a cool sound to any music. It was like Yani and Mumford & Sons got together. I really enjoyed them! But it probably is not everyone's cup of tea, which is not bad. I put together a video and pictures for you to check out. Take a look at the video and see if you like it. Get out to one of their shows soon. See some of the photos and the video below.

Boating Neenah / Menasha
Boating in Neenah / Menasha WI - 2021
Boating Neenah Menasha - See the over 237 photos - Photo Gallery - So sometimes you get so busy you miss a whole story. As I was digging through my photos I came across this folder of photos that I did not post. These photos are from a great day back in the last week of July. It was a little windy and we decided to get out the Bar Pontoon boat. Grab a couple of friends and go on an adventure. With it being windy we decided we would just stay on the rivers to avoid submersing the pontoon's nose under some 3 ft waves. We took off from the Manitowac St boat launch and headed toward Neenah. We went up the river in Menasha and got to Lake Winnebago and ran across to the Neenah channel and made our way in and away from the wind and waves. It is at this point we thought we would indulge in the goodies we brought with us. We brought along a plate of Sushi from Woodmans. Which was very good! We trolled down the river to the Neenah Harbor. This is a fun little run and there are some amazing homes on the water to see. We got up to the harbor and parked. Sat around and eat some sushi and enjoyed the beautiful day. We decided to make a stop at Copper Still Burbon bar across the street from the harbor. As we got off the boat a nice little Donzi pulled up and we helped them tie up quickly. Just so happened this couple was heading to the bourbon bar as well. We got up and got a few drinks and headed out to the patio to get some more sun in. The couple we meet at the dock asked to hang with us and of course, we happily had them join us. Which was a good call! They were both a blast and we all enjoyed talking and got in a lot of laughs. We talked about what to do next. The decision was to head over to check out the new Bare Bones Brewery in Menasha and see what they had to offer. It was a great drive back over to Menasha and up the river past the construction for the new bridge. Which is crazy to see and is going to be cool when the is done. We pulled up to the seawall in Menasha and tied up. Then hung out for a while and had a few drinks on the pontoon bar. Then headed up to Barebones Brewery and was pleasantly surprised to see they have a great outdoor seating area. We went in and found out they are also a distillery and were recommended a Maple whiskey old fashion. Which was delicious! We stuck around and got a chance to meet the manager who was a blast. Overall we really enjoyed the new brewery and hope it finds a successful home in Menasha. We stayed till we started losing light and then headed back to the boat launch. It was a great day out on the water. Wish we had more days like this during this year's boating season. It all seemed to go way too fast.
I hope you enjoy the photos! See all the photos - Photo Gallery I have some map info below the photos for you to check out.
Lions Tail Brewery Oktoberfest Neenah and Bare Bones Brewery Menasha
See all of the photos Saturday night we went out for some diner at the Red Ox with friends and decided to go check out the Breweries in Neenah & Menasha. We heard that the Lion's Tail Brewery was having its own Oktoberfest. We got over to Lion's Tail and found they had a huge tent set up in the back parking lot. We walked into the stein holding competition for ladies. Around 7 ladies were standing up by the main stage getting ready for the stein holding challenge. The ladies did really good. Long enough for me to have to go find a beer. I got my beer and noticed the hammerschlagen game going on. Grabbed a couple photos and my beer and headed back to find out I missed the ladies winner and the men were up next. I got some pictures of these guys. They held out for a long time and broke the standing record by a lot. We hung out for a while and listened to the Kari Lynch Band for a while. Everyone was getting tired of beer and wanted a mixer so we thought we would hit Copperstill but they were closed. We decided we would go hit the Bare Bones Brewery and Distillery. We stopped in and they were about to close. The bartender was super cool and said she we could the place open for us! We got the Maple Bourbon Old Fashions and they were awesome! Everyone was tired out so we only stuck around for one drink. Overall a great night with some great friends.
I hope you enjoy the photos! See all the photos - Photo Gallery
