Spotted Cow is more than a popular beer. Name another beer that would drive a bar manager to smuggle it across state lines and risk prison to put it on tap.

In Wisconsin, Spotted Cow is just about everywhere. Seriously, you need to go out of your way to find an establishment with a liquor license that doesn`t sell Spotted Cow. For example, the brewery`s beer finder shows 400 bars and restaurants within 50 miles of Wausau. If you add in the liquor stores and other retailers, you hit 400 locations within 33 miles.

Ken Notes: Hands down, Deb Carey is a marketing guru. She gets more free press for the only In Wisconsin tag than any other brewery. Remember Coors in the 70`s, same thing... I see a 18 wheeler and a Pontiac in the New Glarus future and Deb in a broken down police car chasing them down...

Mixed Meadia is now open! Produced at and sharing a tasting room with Hatch Distilling Co. in Egg Harbor, they focus on local ingredients and artful blending of our Mead, Ciders, and Wines. Mead is wine made from honey.

GRANTSBURG, Wis. – What role can a dairy farm play to help a small town brewery thrive?  Once can figure that out in Grantsburg, Wisconsin.  The largest village in Burnett County has been the home to Brickfield Brewery since 2018.

“Our welcoming staff will serve you up a pint, a 10-ounce, a flight of four,” says owner Nicki Peterson.  “We also have pizza, we have live music on the weekends, food trucks, and more.”...

Whether made from traditional grapes, Door County cherries or numerous other fruits, the wines produced locally are growing in number every season. Wisconsin winters may scare off some growers, but the wineries located along the Door County Wine Trail have found a home – and a following – here. Each stop has its own personality, from the ambiance to the varietals, ensuring that every sip is a memorable, delicious experience. 

If you’re headed to the Door County Wine Fest on June 25, you’ll have a chance to sample products from most of the wineries along the wine trail (Stone’s Throw and Anchored Roots wineries will not be at the festival this year). Get to know the featured wineries, then follow the wine trail to check them out in person...

• Red Oak Winery
• Door Peninsula Winery
• Simon Creek Vineyard & Winery
• Harbor Ridge Winery

The tradition of beer in Wisconsin has been brewing for nearly two centuries.

In 1845, the Monroe Brewing Company was born with little save for a brew kettle that churned out a few hundred barrels each winter. By 1905, the shingle hanging outside Monroe’s bustling downtown brewery – that would successfully survive prohibition – read Blumer Brewing Company.

For the ensuing century, beer brewing kept pace with the influx of German immigrants whose deep knowledge and insatiable thirst spurred a burgeoning industry.
