City Brewery – The Private Label King Of La Crosse
La Crosse is home to City Brewery, which is home to the worlds largest six pack (see photos), a line mentioned in an episode of “House” during it’s last season (any mention of Wisconsin on TV catches my attention). Interesting thing about City Brewery is that they make a boat load of private label beers … Read more
Packers Beat Vikings & Beer With Friends, What More Do You Need…
Since making it to Lambeau was not an optoin due to a heavy editing schedule for the documentary, the second best thing was to hit a sports bar with family, friends, and a few hundred other Packers fans (and some Vikings fans as well). The beer was strong, the Packers even stronger, and victory was … Read more
If Frank Lloyd Wright Had Designed A Cheese Haus…
If Frank Lloyd Wright had designed a Cheese Haus it would have been Foster Cheese Haus in Osseo (just south of Eau Claire off of I94). They have some amazing cool Wisconsin Cheese as well, including bacon infused cheese curds like I’ve not seen anywhere else. Not only do they have great Wisconsin Cheese, but … Read more
Champions Sports Bar: Where Memorabilia & Beer Come Together
Champions is a terrific sports bar to visit in Green Bay any time of the year, but it rocks on game day. The collection of sports memorabilia throughout the place seems endless, and it ain’t just Packers memorabilia, but Badgers, an extensive Favre collection, and other Wisconsin sports team. Even so, the Packers collection is … Read more
John Hawks Pub in Milwaukee
Whenever I’ve got to Downtown Milwaukee to meet with my man Carlo at Marcus Theatres, we step downstairs to the John Hawks Brew Pub from some great English fair (or fish fry on the one Friday I was there). Love this place. Great food, great view of the river, espeecially if you sit out on … Read more
Bombers, Beers, Burgers & A Really Big Chair
Just happened across these photos again of Bomber’s in Milwaukee last fall, most well know for their Bomber’s Burger that was featured on the Food Wars last summer. I also wonder if the place might have been named after the Mitchell B-25 Bomber, since General Billy Mitchell was from Milwaukee and his presence is see … Read more
The Tipsy Cow In Madison’s Capital Square Is Divine
All we can say is, order the cheeseburger lunch special made with, get this, meat, bun, a slab of butter, and Carr Valley 5 Year Cheddar. That’s all! If you want onions raw or grilled, they’ll add that too, and the side of pickles is… Well just end up their and some point in your … Read more
Classic Meets Modern At The Milwaukee Public Market
The Milwaukee Public Market is not what one might expect on first glance. Somewhat hidden under an overpass and series of bridges in downtown Milwaukee, you have to know where you are going to find it. Once inside, however, this seeming rustic place becomes a world of unique and interesting shops, stands, and a wine … Read more
Moose Jaw Pizza & Brewing In Wisconsin Dells
While staying at The Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells a while back we encountered a car driving around town that had a moose on top of it. Not a real moose mind you as you might have to be in the Northwoods of Wisconsin to see that, but a prop moose. Wanting to know what … Read more
Rhinelander Beer & Hodags In The Great Northwoods
We had the great pleasure of interviewing Brenda O’Rourke, Head of Marketing for the Rhinelander Brewing Company, when we went in search of Hodags in Rhinelander this fall. Rhinelander Beer is best known for the 7 oounce shorties in the amazingly cool looking little bottles. What we loved most about them, besides the pleasing taste … Read more
The Sardine Can In Green Bay, Where The Fun Never Ends…
We made good friends with Chris, Tara, Boyd, and the rest of the gang at The Sardine Can in Green Bay after being steered their way by our new friend Madison radio talk show host Mitch Henck. Turns out that, excluding Lambeau Field, you won’t find another place in Green Bay near as much of … Read more
New Glarus Brewing Company: The Brew That Likes To Moo
Here is our behind the scenes visual capture of the New Glarus Brewing Company and its mos popular beer Spotted Cow (hence the title).

New Glarus Brewing Company: Only In Wisconsin
We had the great pleasure of inteviewing New Glarus Brewing Company Co-Founder and proud Wisconsinite Deb Carey while visiting them in New Glarus. Not only were we taken aback by how similar we are as fellow cheeseheads, but were also blown away by what a magnificent brewery they have put together. A state of the … Read more
Rowland’s Calumet Brewing Company, A Chilton Original.
On the advice of one of the locals, we headed up to Chilton (north of Fon Du Lac) to check out Rowland’s Calumet Brewing Company (Rowlandsbrewery.com) and discovered a quant little town with a heck of a brewery and an attached bar that is a historic landmark in the area in its own right. We also … Read more
Rhinelander’s County Fair: It’s Good In The Northwoods
We went by the Rhinelander County Fair last week in order to see how the Northwoods people do it, and they certainly do it their own way. It was like being in the woods, but with ferris wheels and carnival games, and of course Hodag’s hiding in the trees (more on that later). It was … Read more
Titletown In Titletown: Where Beer & History Hook Up In Many Ways
We can’t say enough about how fantastic Brent and all the magnificent staff at Titletown Brewing Company treated us. They were like a second home base for us during a shooting schedule in Green Bay. We did at least four interviews at the restaurant alone and will likely do more next time around as it … Read more
