Wis. authorities search for 3 men who stole $24,000 in beer from trucking company

   MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. (AP) -- Talk about a beer binge: Authorities are searching for three men who stole about $24,000 worth of beer from a trucking company south of Milwaukee.
   The suspects pulled up to the Hribar Trucking site at about 2 a.m. Monday in stolen semi tractors, Mount Pleasant police said.
   They were trying to hook a trailer full of Miller Brewing Co. beer to the tractors when they were interrupted. The men then fled, taking a different tractor-trailer rig full of Miller beer, and a semi tractor with no load.
   Officials from Schneider National, who own the rig, declined to comment on the theft and ongoing investigation.
   Police are looking for a white semitrailer with blue lettering reading "Great Taste of a True Pilsner Beer" and a white Freightliner semi tractor.
   The village of Mount Pleasant is about 30 miles south of Milwaukee.

This is a blog for BrewHound aka Chip Walton, producer for Fox 7 News Edge at Nine and beer columnist for Hill Country Directions ("Brewhouse Bulletin"). I also have a news-related blog as 'newshound.' This blog is specifically meant for sharing and increasing my enjoyment of craft beers from here in Central Texas and from all over the country. We'll discuss brews, breweries, beer events, beer tourism, etc. I enjoy and respect beer. Used to be a big fan of the ESB, IPA, hop hop hops! But in the last few years, I’ve grown more into stouts, strong/old ales, barleywine, experimental brews. Austin is full of brewpubs, microbrews and well-stocked beer stores. My beer philosophy: Beer should be good, lift the spirit and bring fun people together.
