Answer "Milwaukee's finest beer"

In 2008 I was was near Cedar River , Michigan (The UP) and stopped to buy some firewood. This guy started chatting with me and he starts showing me his garage, tools etc then he offers me a beer. I was hot and the beer was ice cold and a Blatz. He gave me 3 times the wood I needed, he helped me load it and told me I could stop anytime for more.
It was a great weekend camping and I enjoyed a an ice cold Blatz and made a friend.

What more could anyone ask for?

Blatz was a good beer - much better than the new/old Schlitz crap they're trying to bring back.
