I love cheese! I mean real cheese. I love beer! I mean good microbrews.
After taking the tour of the beautiful Wisconsin Capitol, we stumbled upon the menu of this great american classic restaurants. The menu is typical american bar food but... They use Wisconsin cheeses and serve tons of microbrews. The special on tap is so inexpensive! Just awesome. We wanted to try everything that add the combo Cheese + Beer so...
In winter, it is a great place to get your calories up after loosing them all in the cold.
We tried:
House-made fresh Wisconsin beer battered cheese curds: Great curds. The batter is crunchy and tasty. There are a little oily but you know it is fried food. Challenge achieved the dish had Cheese and Beer.
Wisconsin beer cheese soup garnished with popcorn: We just had to have it as it is a specialty of the region. It was heavy but really good. Challenge achieved the dish had Cheese and Beer. (Obviously)
The Old Fashioned House Burger: It is a grilled over fire and topped with fried onions, Bavaria's hickory-smoked bacon, aged Cheddar, garlic sauce and a soft-cooked egg on a buttered and toasted roll. It is a massive burger. I love eggs on burger! The meat was good, the cheese great. The flavors were bold and strong. The egg could have been a it better. Overall a great burger. So this dish did not have beer in it but we drank beers with it so it kind of counts.
Cheese and Beer for every course: Mission Accomplished.
In Wisconsin bars, you receive a card with 100 microbrews listed. You get a stamp every time you try a different beer. Too bad I was just visiting.
