We all know that Memorial Day is to honor those who have served our country, and in Wisconsin we honor them by consuming as many beers and brats as possible. For our pals across the pond "brat" stands for bratwurst and is best eaten when soaked in beer. Brats (
brahts) are coincidentally consumed by people who are also soaked in beer. That's
cold microbrewery beer, so delicious that even our dogs long for a cup on a mild and partly sunny day.

| It looks like his mom had a problem with his behavior and he's for sale. He's selling bratwurst—the best in the area—and was dressed up like one earlier (the top of his costume is to the right below the towel) |

| Okay I'll just share your beer, and will have a Smoked Brisket, one Smoked Pork and a Grilled Cheese |
Sounds like a great way to celebrate you veterans! Love the fact the dog enjoyed the beer. #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI have a few photos of him walking into the bar, lol.
DeleteGot to love a dog with character!
ReplyDeleteThis one was maybe a little too socialized.
DeleteGreat collection of photos, looks like a good day
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Nothing compared to you, Darren. You are the kind of color, my friend.
DeleteHi Jeanna, love the simplicity of the celebrations and the fact the dog seems to want beer more than a brat, or is it looking to wash down the brat with the beer? In the UK the word brat can be used to describe a troublesome child, no wondre the lad isn't looking too pleased with the title!

We are a simple folk, lol. There is a veyr large Brat Fest in town I don't care for and it is anything but simple.("The World's Largest Brat Fest") I went there the day it opened and got rained on, blech. Yeah, they tried to keep him out of the bar and he finally made his way in. I'm sure he got plenty to eat. If you want a larf, click on the link in his caption to see him in his bratwurst costume.
DeleteSounds like a lovely event! Love the photo captions too =) #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteTwo different events, I think the first one peaked pretty early, but I had a very pleasant time at the second one.
DeleteYummmmm.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a homemade apple brat from Ruef's, but I'll probably go back and get a pack. The best around according to my taste buds. I did get a smoked pork sandwich in Paoli and it was sooo good. It even came with some homestyle slaw which I piled on top.
DeleteEek, I forgot the last click - did my comment go through? I'll come back later to check:):)
ReplyDeleteThat smoked brisket I would like to try! Really got turned on to bratwurst when living in Berlin. And glad they didn't pressure me in refusing the beer - never liked, although I do love wine:) Thank you for your comment - I LOVE my work, so it's hard to say no- chuckle:) But you are right - I do feel the pressure to fill that canvas - don't worry, I am too persistent, so I'll wurm (worm?) my way through it, till I enjoy it:): Thanks for sharing the way you celebrate Memorial Day with All Seasons, and have a happy week:)
ReplyDeleteI almost got the brisket, but got the smoked pork instead and it was excellent. We have some pretty good bratwursts around, I'm guessing they serve the red brats in Berlin. I enjoy all kinds and now you've made me hungry for more. WI has a large German population and brats are a staple—may explain our weight problem, lol.
DeleteI used to feel the same way about filling up a sheet of paper. Have a great week, JSG.
