LACROSSE, Wis. – A micro-brewery issued a new beer in support of Joe Gow, the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse chancellor who’s been fired for producing and performing in what he calls “sex-positive” videos. The beer is called Hot for Chancellor. A caricature has Gow as a caped crusader sprinting naking across the label with a bomb, the fuse lit, coming at him from behind. The limited-run brew is from 608 Brewing Company on Cass Street, which has a aoroom on the LaCrosse North Side. The brewery is owned by two couples, Phil and Lorie Humphrey and Danielle and Ryan Beach. They’ve been in business since 2018.
How’s it taste? A slightly sour ale fruited with cherries, apricots and vanilla.
