#1* - Working Draft Beer Company, The Wisco

 Working draft is a new brewery off the bike path between Willy St and Central Park.  It's a nice airy space and the beer I tried (three of) was quite good.
 Pro-tip: You can sneak out the back of the parking lot through to the BP and voila, you're on Willy Street!  The whole set up is very bike/walk friendly.
The night was capped off sitting outside at the Wisco and watching some surprisingly compelling volleyball.

*I am starting the count over since I've completely lost track. There is about a year of history that is lost forever.

#48 - The Red Shed, The Vintage, The Study Pub, The Church Key

 The Red Shed was a little bit of a let down.  In all my years in  Madison I'd never been there.  At 8pm it was dead, and I was greeted by the bartender telling me that he's have to kick me out if I didn't put my sweatshirt on because there was a dress code saying you can't wear a white t-shirt.  Downer.
 It was a great night to sit on the patio at the Vintage.  But in the time we were there the wait staff never came to our table.  Feeling unwanted we left.
 The next stop... the Study Pub.  Hidden away on the top floor of the Fluno Center you can find a quiet oasis with views of the city and free pool (protip)!
 We stepped out on a small patio and the noise from below was amazing as the night's debauchery on University Avenue was starting to ramp up.
We walked into the Church Key.  The bouncers laughed.  It was as expected.

#47 - The Bear and Bottle Drackenberg's Cigar Bar

 A foray into Maple Bluff.  The Bear and Bottle sprung up out of nowhere in a shiny new building.  They had a nice long bar and a fancy beer list.
Somehow you can smoke here as long as you call whatever it is you are smoking a cigar.   Also, creepy people like this place.  I saw a guy with dreads that dragged on the floor behind him when he walked.

#46 - Blue Moon

I don't know how it took us so long to make it to the Blue Moon.  It's been on my short list since the earliest days of Tavern Night.   We finally made it.  The burger was great.  We had a mini bar crawl without leaving the bar; going from the rail to the outside seating to a table in the back in one night.
