Boys weekend: GBH x BSSG at Camp Wandawega

The weekend has started off with a bang!
Thanks again to Michael Kiser and Max Wastler.

Some of the greats that are involved this weekend include, Longman & Eagle, Intelligentsia, Gaslight Coffee Roasters, Fountainhead Chicago, Solemn Oath Brewery, The Publican, Good Beer Hunting, Buckshot Sonny's Sporting Goods and lot's more. You know they are having fun!

Here are some images taken by the campers so far. Don't forget to follow on instagram and twitter with the hashtag #goodbeerbuckshot.

The best story-teller we know...

...Is Michael Kiser.

The dude has a gift.

Check out this excerpt from his latest 'collaboration post' on Ronan Anderson's visit here to camp:

"Enter the fire department. A bit lost in conversation, and a bit heady from the brews, none of us noticed the bit of smoke rolling off the steaks and into the lodge. A few failed attempts at entering the cancel code and we had guests. Hungry guests. In his apologies for tying up some of Elkhorn, Wisconsin's finest, Rohan passed around a few plates and made some new friends. They returned from their trucks with beef jerky and sausages to accompany the rest of his trip eastward. These were kindred spirits. This is American pastoral. And there's nothing cynical about it."

Check out Michael's entire post HERE.

And (he's a pretty bad ass photographer to boot)!

Some of my favs:

Basil Hayden's + Max!

our friend Max Wastler has landed the most amazing gig ever. as the face, the man, the cultural hound of all things cool for the whiskey Basil Hayden. 

Max is a friend of camp Wandawega - from the Dose market collaboration. to the Buckshot Sonny's & Good Beer Hunting camp weekend). we are quite proud to call him a friend and BH could not have found a better dude to represent them.

As the new face of Basil Hayden on their brand blog, they describe him as their 'cultural bloodhound'. they have tapped into him for his resourcefulness, great taste and knack for finding the coolest of - well-- everything.

 

part of his job (the best job in the universe, we might add) is to travel around and find the places the rest of us should go visit- like Fountain Prairie Farms & Inn  and Please & Thank you 

a great recent post from the blog sporting 101 features a must-read interview.

excerpt:
My favorite drink and who makes it best: Fire on the Lake. Created by Blake Royer of the Overserved Society. Blake’s one of my closest friends. This cocktail, invented over the course of a very fun weekend at Wandawega, a friend’s camp in Wisconsin, is comprised of many parts, but it’s main ingredient is love.

Good Beer Hunting does good.

Mike Kiser does it all. and well.

writing.
photography.
And he has married well too :)

OUTSIDE magazine just interviewed him on - well, finding good beer!
It's called 'PLAID AND CANVAS. Hunting for the best beer in Chicago.'
(what a fantastic freaking title that is, no?)

check it out.

A teaser from the story:
"Last year, Kiser found himself at an odd point with Good Beer Hunting. “I had been asking myself a difficult question for almost a year,he says. “If Good Beer Hunting were to do something in the physical world, what would that be?" The answer: summer camp for adult males. KISER AND HIS FRIEND Max Wastler of Buckshot Sonny's Sporting Goods invited about 25 of their guy friends to a spot in southern Wisconsin called “Camp Wandawega.”


and...

Just found this post on his blog GOOD BEER HUNTING. Also, I had to share- such a lovely review on our Camp Yearbook  'Camp Style'!


(Thanks, Mike!)

SOLEMN OATH BREWERY visits camp

Last weekend the good folks at Solemn Oath brewery did a little creative cadre at camp.
They drank. Worked. Drank. Planned. Worked
and Mike Kiser of Good Beer Hunting documented it all.

When the real shots and full post goes live, we'll be sure to share it.
In the meantime, check out some behind the scenes pix here:

BUCKSHOT SONNY'S + GOOD BEER HUNTING dudes weekend

We highlighted Michael Kiser of Good Beer Hunting yesterday on the blog. It was timely because two weekends ago he teamed up with Max Wastler of Buckshot Sonny's to throw an all-guys, manly-man weekend at Camp Wandawega. 

Here are some quick highlights but you should really check out the full story of beer, booze, debauchery and style over at Good Beer Hunting. There are many beautiful photos of what seems to have been a legendary weekend.

Max of Buckshot Sonny's Goods mans the grill (check out the hog head behind him).

No guys weekend would be complete without a bonfire (or flaming nunchucks)...

...OR good whiskey.

Blake Royer on the ever-popular rope swing.

Smokin' chips.

There was no shortage of beer (including perennial Wisconsin favorite, New Glarus).

On the Menu: Quail and apple, pork cheek, beef short ribs, green beans, horseradish potatoes, campfire beans, cornbread and chocolate pecan pie--all from Dry Hop Brewers in Chicago.

Solemn Oath Brewery and Brewery Vivant both brought beer. Ooh, and check out the custom glasses!

Darts, pool, canoeing, archery, hiking--it was a full-on, testosterone-fueled weekend.

Max Wastler checking in guests.

All-in-all, it looked like a great weekend. I'm sad to have missed it (I'm working in Prague at the moment), but David was able to attend and said it was one of his favorite ever events at Wanda.

Again, check out the whole post over on Good Beer Hunting for more glamour shots of beer and campiness.

Cheers, guys!
